KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor’s visit to Shenzhen, China, in November last year led to a large tea ceremony in Sabah for some 1,024 tea enthusiasts.

On Sunday, event facilitator Datuk Jackson Lee said guests were from China, Macau, Hong Kong, and even Ukraine.

“It was the initiatives of the Chief Minister who triggered the Chinese community towards Sabah. “Before this, Hangjia International held its event in Turkey. It was the third time the event had been held in Malaysia after Penang and Kuala Lumpur.

“The group arrived on Saturday and is leaving on Thursday. They will explore Mount Kinabalu, Mantanani, and Gaya islands.

“I have the chance to talk to their president about planting Sabah Tea as part of their blend, which would be a good commercial initiative.

“The group are blending holidays with the passion for tea,” he said.

Kota Kinabalu MP Datuk Chan Foong Hin, who attended, said the economic impact will be felt as tourists, on average, spend or bring with them at least RM3,000.
