MIRI: In a significant announcement for conservation and
cultural heritage, Niah National Park is expected to be recognised as a Unesco
World Heritage Site before the end of 2024.
The Sarawak Public Communications Unit, in a report, revealed
that the final survey stages for Niah National Park's recognition as a Unesco
World Heritage Site were completed in November last year.
With July as the projected milestone for receiving this
prestigious status, expectations are high for the ensuing tourism boom to Miri
and the Sarawak region.
Sarawak's Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry, and
Performing Arts, Datuk Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, shared the anticipated
accreditation, which is poised to significantly boost tourist arrivals to Miri
from both domestic and international locales.
"The accreditation of Niah National Park by Unesco as a
World Heritage Site will position Miri as a must-visit destination when
travelling to Sarawak," Abdul Karim said during his speech at the launch
event for the Miri Gong Xi Bazaar 2024 on Feb 3.
