‘FLY ME TO SABAH’ OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE SABAH BUCKET LIST HOLIDAYS
KOTA
KINABALU, 18 February 2022
: Sabah Tourism Board has
launched its ‘Fly Me To Sabah’ contest to woo more domestic travellers into
Sabah. From 14th February to 14th April 2022, contest winners stand a chance to
win their dream bucket list holiday to Sabah, Malaysian Borneo.
Embracing
the edge of the digital world and modern media, the Sabah Tourism team invites
the public to post their most creative, interesting and wittiest ‘virtual
letter’ to Sabah Tourism via social media account Instagram or Facebook using
the campaign hashtag #flymetosabah and #sabahtourism.
One
(1) winner will be announced by Sabah Tourism every fortnight with a total of 4
lucky winners at the end of the two month-long contest.
The
winners will get the chance to get their Sabah holiday bucket list fulfilled
with a travel voucher worth RM5,000.00 for each person.
“Sabah
has always been a favourite destination by domestic travellers in particular
for their interest in climbing Mount Kinabalu, island adventures in Semporna
and amazing seafood.”
“After
last year’s reopening of state border for inter-state travel, we could see a
growing number of domestic arrivals to Sabah and airlines has gradually
increased their flight frequencies. “
“This
has certainly motivated and helped our tourism industry players to get back on
their game. Likewise, we hope the #flymetosabah contest will reignite the
public passion for travelling again and luring them into visiting Sabah through
the many interesting posting shared by participants,” said Noredah Othman,
Chief Executive Officer of Sabah Tourism Board.
For
the past two years, travelling might seem like a distant memory, but the team
in Sabah Tourism is optimistic that many want to share their travel memories
about Sabah. Some might still be waiting for the perfect time and reason to
visit. The ‘Fly Me To Sabah’ contest is an ideal platform.
The
contest is open to non-Sabah residents, West Malaysians, Sarawakians and
expatriates living in Malaysia.
