\u201cIt is unfortunate that this pandemic has been allowed to see its second or third waves in Sabah and we now know that a Movement Control Order (MCO) or tighter Condition MCO will have devastating effects on our (Sabah) economy which has a small domestic base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cConstant reminder to adherence to COVID-19\u2019s SOPs by the authorities is therefore highly recommended,\u201d Alexander said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, most tourism operators will not be able to transform their foreign tourist\u2019s reliance business and will have adapt their operations to cater to the domestic market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHowever, it will not be easy since wildlife watching or jungle experiences-based tourism have never been a strong draw. Ultimately, we need the borders to re-open and for this to happen, the domestic scene will need to be safe and stable first,\u201d Alexander said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He continued: \u201cSo, this is a good re-starting step as most tourism operators based in Kinabatangan will need to transform their foreign tourists\u2019 reliance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was referring to the announcement made by Senior Minister (Security Cluster), Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakub who during a press conference last Friday said the government has allowed cross-district and state travel involving green zones starting last Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
