Last week, Tourism Malaysia Sabah in collaboration with 6 local travel agents has introduced “Sabah Food Trail” package in a press conference to promote Sabah as a food paradise. The latest tourism product launched by YB Datuk Kamarlin Hj Ombi, Assistant Minister, Ministry of Tourism, Culture & Environment Sabah contains 9 interesting Food Trail tour packages includes some tourist hot spots in Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan.

The tour packages which range from 2 Days 1 Night to 5 Days 4 Nights, give foreign and domestic tourists more flexibility with their staying duration and a chance to explore their taste buds by trying local delicacies and mingle with the local community while traveling.
