During the business matching sessions, STB engaged with various airlines, including Scoot, AirAsia, IndiGo, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, Vietjet, Jetstar, HK Express, and Air India, to explain the incentives for airlines that commit scheduled services to Kota Kinabalu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Aligning with airlines, whether Malaysian or foreign, that cater to Sabah’s target markets is vital for tourism growth,” he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joniston further highlighted that this strategic approach expands Sabah’s tourism presence and enhances its position in key markets. STB aims to establish Sabah as a must-visit destination in Asia, leveraging the partnerships forged through this proactive approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Julinus emphasised STB’s focus on tapping into emerging markets such as India and Central Asia. He stated collaborating with airlines that engaged in talks during Route Asia 2024 would lead to STB supporting new routes to Sabah that would effectively cater to Sabah’s diverse target markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrough these partnerships, STB aims to optimise route networks and improve connectivity both to and within Sabah, ultimately enhancing the tourism experience for visitors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
