STB chief executive officer Sharzede Datuk Salleh Askor said, “Sia Sitok Sarawak gives the people of Sarawak the opportunity to enjoy and visit places that they have never visited before, and become ambassadors for Sarawak tourism in the future.”
She added that this campaign is also part of the initiative and stimulus for the local tourism industry to help restore the tourism ecosystem affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“In making this campaign a success, we are always concerned about the Covid-19 situation. Therefore, the focus will be on destinations in green zones, while also ensuring that tourism operators and industry players comply with the standard operating procedures (SOPs) set by the government,” she said.
The campaign is open for bookings from now until Oct 15 this year, in collaboration with the Sarawak Tourism Federation (STF). STF has provided a reservation platform and payment gateway for the campaign.
This campaign will give priority to frontline workers, including hospital staff, foreign doctors and nurses, the Royal Malaysian Police, People’s Volunteer Corps, army, Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba), Sarawak Disaster Management Committee staff and others involved in Covid-19 efforts in appreciation of their dedication.
It will also give them the opportunity to rest while travelling and enjoying the beauty of Sarawak.
