SANDAKAN: Sabah is moving to strengthen safety standards across its tourism industry amid growing concerns over unlicensed operators and rising expectations from international travellers, says Datuk Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan.
The Deputy Human Resources Minister said the Safety Induction for Tourism Industry (Siti) programme would be expanded throughout the state to improve safety awareness and compliance at tourism destinations.
He said international tourists were no longer looking only at attractions, but were also closely assessing safety, cleanliness and environmental conditions before deciding where to travel.
“We
know international tourists constantly look at safety aspects. Is safety
guaranteed? They also look at cleanliness and pollution levels at tourism
centres,” he said at the Youth Employability Empowerment Appreciation Ceremony
programme here on Friday (May 15).
“That is why Siti will be expanded to tourism centres across Sabah. We know many tourism centres, especially resorts, do not have the proper licences.
“This is one of the measures for us to better understand why they are unable to meet the standards that have been set,” he added.
Khairul Firdaus also acknowledged that occupational safety and
health awareness in Sabah remained relatively low, saying more exposure,
workshops and training programmes were needed to improve industry standards.
He said the government, together with the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), was working to expand more safety-related programmes and industry exposure across Sabah to strengthen the tourism ecosystem.
Khairul Firdaus said strengthening workplace safety culture was becoming increasingly important as Sabah continued positioning itself as a major eco-tourism destination internationally.
He said globally recognised attractions in Sandakan, such as Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Rainforest Discovery Centre, and Labuk Bay made it crucial for the state to maintain strong tourism safety standards.
The programme also saw 28 students and lecturers from Sandakan Vocation College 2 undergoing tourism safety exposure training aimed at improving industry readiness among local youths.
Meanwhile, the college’s director, Christine Stanislaus Kinsik, described the programme as a valuable advantage for students preparing to enter the tourism industry.
She said students would normally have to obtain the certification on their own and bear the costs themselves, with many from Sandakan also needing to travel to Kota Kinabalu to attend the course.
“This actually gives very good job opportunities to my students in the future.
“We hope programmes like this can continue for youths,” she said,
adding that such certification was increasingly important for those entering
the tourism sector.

BANGKOK: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), which remains optimistic on its outlook this year despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties in West Asia, has called for greater cooperation across the aviation and tourism ecosystem to increase passenger traffic and support Malaysia's aviation ambitions.
Its managing director Datuk Mohd Izani Ghani said airport operators, airlines, regulators and tourism-related agencies coming together and pulling in the same direction will be crucial in sustaining industry resilience and ensuring the success of the Visit Malaysia 2026 premier national tourism campaign amid current global challenges.
Mohd Izani said close cooperation among stakeholders has become increasingly important as the nation celebrates Visit Malaysia 2026, particularly in ensuring seamless travel experience, stable airline operations and stronger international connectivity.
"We remain positive (and) despite the crisis, Visit Malaysia 2026 itself is already a free promotion for us," he told Bernama on the sidelines of the Airports Council International Asia-Pacific & Middle East Regional Assembly, Conference and Exhibition here.
He
reiterated that all parties have to work together, whereby airlines also have
to play their role, not just promoting airlines but Malaysia as well.
He said MAHB currently chairs a quarterly working group involving
multiple agencies and stakeholders to coordinate preparations and resolve
operational issues related to Visit Malaysia 2026.
Among the agencies involved are the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC), Ministry of Transport (MOT), Ministry of Finance (MOF), Prime Minister's Office (PMO), Immigration Department and airlines.
"In the meetings, we discuss how to promote Malaysia and resolve issues together. It works quite well," he said.
Mohd Izani said one of the key achievements resulting from the collaboration was the removal of certain customs inspection bottlenecks at immigration checkpoints, which helped improve passenger flow at KL International Airport (KLIA).
He added that the authorities had agreed to implement Green Lane initiatives to facilitate smoother arrival processes for travellers.
"Initially there was some resistance, but in the end you get the power of collaboration," he said.
At the same time, MAHB is working on an airside transfer system connecting T1 and T2, allowing transit passengers to move between terminals without having to clear immigration and customs repeatedly.
Mohd Izani reiterated the initiative involves close coordination with multiple stakeholders, including the Immigration Department, Customs Department, airlines and ground handlers.
"We promised the MOT that we will get it done by the end of the year," he said.
He added that part of the project could be financed through the Airport Development Fund (ADF), which supports airport efficiency-related improvements across the country.
Impact of West Asia
Mohd Izani acknowledged that the ongoing West Asia conflict affected passenger movements through Malaysian airports, particularly in March and April.
"In terms of passenger traffic, we experienced a dip for March and April, that is unavoidable. Everybody faced the same impact," he said.
He estimated that some affected passenger segments recorded around a 50 per cent decline during the period compared with earlier projections.
However, he said there were already signs of recovery as airspace restrictions ease and airlines gradually resume services, although frequencies have yet to fully return to previous levels.
"For the past few weeks, we can see airlines coming back already," he said.
At the same time, MAHB sees opportunities arising from changing travel patterns, particularly as some passengers shift away from Middle Eastern transit routes and opt for destinations within Asia instead.
"People may not go to the Middle East, but they are going to China, Japan and other destinations in the region and that is positive for us," he said.
Mohd Izani said MAHB is also positioning KLIA as an alternative transit hub for passengers travelling between Asia and Europe.
He said several airlines are already reviewing connectivity options through Kuala Lumpur, including the return of German carrier Lufthansa to KLIA.
"Passengers used to transit through the Middle East to Europe or the United States. Perhaps now they can fly through Kuala Lumpur instead," he said.
Airline growth momentum
Despite the uncertain global environment, Mohd Izani said MAHB remains optimistic about achieving its target of attracting 15 new airlines this year.
"We are still optimistic because the 15 airlines are from different parts of the world," he said.
He added that interest from Chinese carriers continue to remain strong, with growing demand for routes into both Kuala Lumpur and secondary Malaysian cities.
According to MAHB, 22 new routes and services had been launched so far this year by both new and existing airlines, including several Chinese carriers operating into Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Kota Bahru.
To date, six new airlines have come onboard, namely Aero Dili (KLIA), Air Algerie (KLIA), Shandong Airlines (KLIA), Chongqing Airlines (Kota Kinabalu International Airport), Chongqing Airlines (Penang International Airport (PEN), Spring Airlines (PEN) and Juneyao Airlines (Tawau Airport).
Mohd Izani said despite current challenges, the aviation sector remains in better conditions than that experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"At least now operations can continue," he said.
MAHB currently manages 39 airports across Malaysia of varying sizes,
including five international airports, as well as one airport in Istanbul,
Türkiye.

New research from Mastercard and CrescentRating highlights continued growth in Muslim travel, alongside changing expectations around inclusivity, safety and purpose-led experiences.
The
reports, Halal Travel Trends 2026 and Muslim Women in Travel 2026, estimate
international Muslim arrivals reached 186 million in 2025 and are projected to
grow to 245 million by 2030. Muslim women accounted for 90 million arrivals in
2025, representing 48 per cent of the total, up from 45 per cent in 2019.
The findings point to a shift beyond basic requirements such as halal food and prayer facilities, with travellers placing increasing emphasis on safety, trust and digital access when planning trips.
Asia remains central to this growth. The region attracted nearly 120 million Muslim visitors in 2024, accounting for 65 per cent of global arrivals. Within this, South-east Asia is well positioned, with destinations such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei identified as preferred markets, particularly among Muslim women travellers.
The reports highlight the growing influence of Muslim women in shaping travel decisions across segments including family holidays, solo trips and group travel. Safety and comfort were cited as key considerations by 60 per cent of respondents, followed by the availability of Muslim-friendly services.
Digital platforms are also playing a larger role, with 68 per cent of respondents indicating that social media influences their travel choices. AI tools are increasingly used for trip planning, including identifying halal dining options and assessing destination suitability.
A central theme across both reports is the RIDA framework, which outlines four areas for destinations to address: responsible tourism, immersive experiences, digital capability and assurance. The approach is intended to help tourism stakeholders better meet evolving traveller expectations.
“Muslim travel is entering a more sophisticated phase, where confidence, inclusion and purpose are becoming as important as access and convenience,” said Aisha Islam, senior vice president, customer solutions centre, South-east Asia at Mastercard. “Through the RIDA framework, destinations and businesses have a practical way to think about the full traveller journey from trusted digital information and secure payments to meaningful experiences that respect faith, culture, safety and personal values.”
“For
destinations, the opportunity is to move from availability to assurance,” said
Raudha Zaini, director of operations, CrescentRating. “Muslim travellers are
looking for experiences that are meaningful, inclusive and easy to trust. The
destinations that clearly communicate their readiness and deliver consistently
across the journey will be best positioned to earn long-term loyalty.”

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia recorded a new tourism milestone in the first quarter of this year as international arrivals rose 5.4 per cent to 10.64 million visitors, Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing said.
Tiong said the latest figures marked the second consecutive year the country exceeded 10 million international arrivals in the first quarter, surpassing even pre-pandemic levels.
He said this year's growth was driven largely by the Chinese New Year holidays, which helped Malaysia set a new monthly record in February.
"For the first time, visitor arrivals in February surpassed three million, reaching 3,472,557 arrivals, the highest ever recorded in a single month," he said in a statement today.
He said the latest figure was also higher than the pre-pandemic level in 2019, when Malaysia recorded 9.01 million visitors in the first quarter.
Tiong
said the achievement was recorded despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle
East affecting fuel supply, forcing flight route changes and pushing up airline
operating costs, with the impact becoming more apparent towards the end of
March.
"Because of this, the first-quarter visitor arrival performance can still be considered good. By region, only visitors from three regions recorded a decline, while six others posted growth compared with the same period last year," he said.
He said arrivals from the Middle East were the worst affected, falling 27.2 per cent, while South Asia and North Africa also declined by 6.7 per cent and 8.4 per cent, respectively.
"Visitors from East Asia and asean each rose by more than 200,000, while arrivals from the Americas, Oceania and Europe also increased by more than 10,000.
"Central Asia recorded the highest growth rate, rising 20 per cent compared with last year," he said.
Tiong said China was the main growth driver, with more than 280,000 additional visitors and a 25.2 per cent increase, while Australia recorded double-digit growth of 11.4 per cent.
Tiong said the expansion of Malaysia's international air connectivity, especially through direct routes, remained a key driver of tourism growth and contributed to the 5.4 per cent increase in first-quarter arrivals.
He said 20 new scheduled routes began operating in the first three months of the year, with 12 airlines adding 95 international flights to Malaysia each week, while five other airlines operated six charter routes linking China and Hong Kong with Malaysia.
He said increased China-Malaysia flight capacity during the Chinese
New Year travel period helped arrivals from China surpass 500,000, reaching
604,675 and contributing to February's record monthly arrivals.

partners, and the public in a meaningful experience.

PUTRAJAYA: Putrajaya is positioning itself as an affordable family recreation hub, with the upgraded Taman Wetland campsite in Precinct 13 offering camping, glamping and outdoor activities for urban families.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh said residents no longer needed to travel far to enjoy camping and outdoor activities.
She said the upgraded campsite offered a comfortable and family-friendly recreational experience, in line with efforts to promote Putrajaya as a destination for outdoor activities.
"We want Putrajaya to become a recreation hub for families. If demand continues to increase, we will consider opening more camping sites in future.
"For now, we have camping and glamping facilities. This is mainly for Malaysians, especially families who need a place to relax and enjoy recreational activities together," she said after opening the campsite in Precinct 13 here today.
Also
present were Putrajaya Corporation president Datuk Mohd Sakeri Abdul Kadir and
Federal Territories Department director-general Datuk Muhammad Azmi Mohd Zain.
Yeoh said Putrajaya recorded six million visitors and tourists as of March this year, compared with 4.4 million during the same period last year, reflecting growing demand for urban recreational activities.
Visitor numbers to Taman Wetland Putrajaya also increased steadily, from about 444,000 in 2023 to about 487,000 last year.
"We want families in Putrajaya to spend more time outdoors. From Monday to Friday, children spend a lot of time on gadgets, so we want them to come out," Yeoh added.
Sakeri said Putrajaya Corporation hoped to attract more visitors this year following the steady increase recorded in previous years.
He said all operators appointed by Putrajaya Corporation were experienced, licensed and continuously monitored to ensure visitor safety, especially for children.
The campsite, covering about 5,000 sq m, has 48 tent lots and can accommodate between 120 and 200 people at one time.
Facilities include toilets, bathrooms, a surau, electricity supply, parking areas, a dining hall and open spaces for family and community activities.
Activities available at the site include ATV rides, cycling, flying fox, wall climbing, abseiling, leap of faith and jungle trekking.
The site also features a 420m dual zipline, recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the country's longest parallel double zipline.
Rental rates start from RM30 on weekdays and RM50 on weekends for a
two-day, one-night stay.
