Sabah's villages can give authentic Kaamatan feel to visitors, says Bangkuai

KOTA KINABALU: Small rural villages in Sabah could play a big role in showcasing the richness of the state’s unique Kaamatan Festival by drawing up a calendar of their own immersive and comprehensive celebrations.

State Tourism, Culture and Environment Assistant Minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai said such initiatives would unlock the hidden gems of small-scale celebrations in picturesque rural villages.

This included the dates, locations, specific cultural activities and performances taking place in each village. Bangkuai, who is also STB chairman, said the calendar would contribute to the equitable distribution of tourism opportunities across Sabah's districts. “This initiative also aligns with the state's sustainable tourism goals, ensuring that the economic benefits of tourism reach all corners of Sabah,” he said.
