Datuk Masidi Manjun,the Sabah Minister of Tourism,Cultures and Environment has disclosed that visitors from China,Hong Kong and Taiwan has continued to increase tremendously.The increase last year was 34.4% over the previous year. Over 5000 visitors from this sector are expected to arrive during the Chinese New Year season alone.They will arrive in 22 chartered flights.Therefore there is a lingering fear that there might be a shortage of hotel rooms during that period considering there are also visitors from other parts of the world.
