I’ve spoken to the Waterfront Hotel manager, monthly occupancy is more than 90 per cent. Looking at it, with the number of flights already back to normal and with the kind of events we are organising practically every week, we will bring in many more visitors. “That is why we are very confident (to reach RM1.2 million tourists arrival). In terms of percentage, it was a growth of 3,385.42 per cent. This year, we recorded 45,659 foreigners. “For foreigners in July 2021, it was 1,310. In July 2021, Sarawak only recorded 9,186 visitors to the State, but the number has shown an outstanding 1,318.16 per cent growth for July 2022 with 130,272 visitors. He also mentioned that Sarawak’s tourism receipts had reached RM1.64 billion as of July 31 this year, compared to RM171.29 million for the same period last year. “Last year, we only recorded 11,785 foreigners and 62,168 domestic visitors for the same period,” he told reporters after the soft opening of Borneo Cultures Museum Restaurant earlier tonight. Of the figure, 127,448 visitors are foreigners (non-Malaysians), while 576,443 are domestic visitors. “This is because within six months (Jan 1 until July 31), we are already getting over 700,000 visitors.
