Things are definitely going to normal and it is heartening for us to see that the sports tourism sector is also making a comeback after 2 years of hiatus due to the pandemic. This is possible because of Malaysia’s transition to the endemic phase and with the relaxation of some standard operating procedures (SOPs). Thus, the recent launching of international sporting events like Kuching Marathon 2022 and Miri Marathon 2022 together with the much awaited Spartan Race would surely woo more tourists on to our shores.
The last 2 years had been challenging not just for sports tourism but all sectors in our local tourism industry. However, with the opening of our country’s borders, there is already an increase of flights into Sarawak. This is a promising development and we are glad the flights coming in are about the same as before the time of COVID-19. With exciting forthcoming international sports events, we therefore encourage not only local participants but those from overseas to join. And this in return will also boost the hotel industry as the hotel rooms will be taken up to cater to these participants and their families.
