At the recent Matta Fair March 2015, the Chief Minister of Melaka Datuk Seri Ir. Hj. Idris Hj. Haron launched the “Best of Borneo Holiday Packages” brochure which is produced by Tourism Malaysia Sabah together with MATTA Sabah Chapter.
The initiative aims to promote Sabah Borneo through various value-for-money holiday packages. It also goes in line with the celebration of the Malaysia Year of Festivals 2015 or MyFest 2015.
The Best of Borneo brochure contains 36 attractively priced holiday packages, which were developed with the cooperation of 18 tour operators in Sabah, offering a variety of unique holiday getaway in the state often known as the Land Below the Wind.
Each of the packages are categorised into various segments to make it easier for tourists to identify their holiday destinations based on their interests. The segments include Eco Nature & Wildlife, Island Getaway, Golfing, Culture & Heritage, Food Trails, Two Wheel, Homestay, and Parks & Gardens, as well as niche tourism such as angling, mountain biking, and many more.
Sabah Cooking Tours
Something different is offered in the “Let’s Main Masak Masak with Hajah Limah” which is actually a Food Trail package that gives tourists a chance to learn to cook Sabahan food dishes using local ingredients and herbs in this Sabah cooking class. The package costs RM367 per pax for a minimum of 4 pax and this Sabah cooking tour is also based in Kota Kinabalu.
Mystical Land Below the Wind Tour
One of the unique packages is the ‘Mystical Land Below the Wind’, which revolves around supernatural belief, ancient rites and spiritual realm of the many ethnic groups in Sabah. This 3D/2N tour, which is priced at RM927 per pax, promises participants a hair-raising experience.
