KUCHING, 16 September 2020: Sarawak Tourism Board is counting on its intra-state tourism campaign, ‘Sia Sitok Sarawak’ to increase the flow of domestic tourists from across Malaysia.

The campaign drives the State’s effort to revitalise the Sarawak tourism sector, following the collapse of international tourism due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
