60pc of Sabah Fest tickets sold so far

Kota Kinabalu: Sixty per cent of Sabah Fest tickets have been sold with two weeks to go before its launch, according to Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment Permanent Secretary Datuk Michael Emban.

“This is a yearly programme that is listed in the tourism calendar.

So most of the bookings are made by foreign tourists on a much earlier date. In fact, there were bookings made since last year,” he said.

Sabah Fest 2013 will be launched by the Head of State Tun Juhar Mahiruddin and will feature the best of Sabah’s food, handicrafts, culture and performances.

Among the performances is folk tale Injin Put Put, showcased at the State Cultural and Arts Department Auditorium, here, on May 3 and 4.
