SINGAPORE: Sabah Tourism Board won the Best Tourism Board Website award for Asia Pacific from TravelMole-ITB Asia Awards 2019. The others shortlisted were Langkawi and Tourism Thailand. “We are thrilled to receive this award. STB has continuously improved the website to be on par with the new trends. We are currently focusing on the way we position our content. “For example, we recently highlighted the various Volunteer Tourism options available in Sabah and Self-Guided Tours. This is something commonly asked,” said Noredah Othman, General Manager of Sabah Tourism Board.

“Among our contributors for content besides managing this solely inhouse, are the online writers, bloggers and travel agents with blogs,” she said.“On average, we have 30,000 unique visitors mainly from Malaysia, Singapore, US, UK and Australia. In addition to the general website, we maintain sites in Chinese, Japanese and Korean.”

TravelMole’s 65,000 travel trade Asia Pacific newswire subscribers were asked to place their nominations in July.  A group of travel experts determined a shortlist for each category in September.
