10,000 brochures to remind tourists about Visit Sibu Year
SIBU: Datuk Tiong Thai King, chairman of Sibu Municipal Council said they would distribute 10,000 brochures through Sarawak Tourism Board, hotels and tour agents to remind tourists about Visit Sibu Year 2009.
He said that 18 events slotted for this year were contained in the brochure, and called on the local community to come together to play a role.
“We may not have beautiful beaches and scenic mountains, but we have an extremely rich ethnic history, cultures, traditions and a cohesive community spirit to make the event an unforgettable one for tourists.”
He said the mighty Rejang River, the longest in the country, had vast potential in cultural and eco-tourism yet to be tapped.
“We are truly excited with the launch of Pandaw Cruise on July 1. This will make our dream to have a cruise on Rejang River come true.”
He said when Pandaw Cruise was launched earlier this year, it initially raised sceptical views, but booking was now so overwhelming.
Tiong also regarded the tourism event an opportunity to boost the local economy.
He said it would create spin-offs to benefit sectors like hotel, transportation, logistics and eateries.
On the role of the people, he said their hospitality, smiles and their bit in keeping the town clean were all simple gestures to contribute towards success.

Very beautiful and rich shot. The reflection from the boats and water gives a nice warm feeling. I like Sarawak a lot. It's a beautiful place.
Have a wonderful weekend.

indeed...tourism is a huge resource to be tapped and it flows throughout the community.
a beautiful shot...rich and warm
Sunset leading to twilight is the most dramatic time of the day. It spreads colours like that of the tail of a Peacock, it spans colours like that of a rainbow, it speaks its language through its colours. Diversifying them (colours) in many parts of the world. The tone of its temper and mood is astonishing, if you are observant enough to watch it every day.
Yours is nothing but the poetic "western scarf in the sky" (a poem I wrote about sunset in 2007).
thanks for visiting my blog.

Amazing colours in your photo. Have a great weekend.
