Another leap for Kota Kinabalu Toursim Industry

I am sure everyone knows about the launching of KKIA as first Eastern Hub for MAS Airline. With the arrival of their new aircraft 737-800, an extravaganza launching was done, accompanied by local cultural dancers, tourism board officers,and grace by our Chief Minister,Tourism Minister Datuk Masidi , approximate 160 more passengers together with the chairman of MAS Tan Sri Munir Majid arrived in style and glamor.

This flight will basically fly direct from all eastern region country direct to KKIA mainly through and flo from Haneda, Tokyo, Osaka, Kaosiong ( Taiwan), Taipei (Taiwan) and Perth (Australia) . Wow, that means we will see more Loud Speaking Taiwanese, Big straw hat Um

brellas Japanese and Of course.. More Korean Supermarket will be open he

I have to mention here that one of my long time friend got her free seat to this launching, so before she depart i reminded her to take as many detail picture as possible.

Some pictures for your viewing, but perhaps there are more from the newspaper, facebook and even relevant websites.

So fellow tour guides, travel agencies, restaurant and bars... all tourism spot venue providers, get ready for the next challange, lets make it an economy boost for Sabah, and not being the 2nd poorest state of Malaysia anymore..

Till then.... enjoy you Hari Raya and Holiday.. its really a Bonus to have holiday in the mids of the week.. and tomorrow everyone is already in party mood.
