TAWAU: Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew welcomed the official launching of the Tawau International Cultural Centre (TICC) development project by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor here today.

She said a facility of this stature will promote cultural exchange, enhance cultural activities, and take cultural tourism to a new level for Tawau.

On another development, Liew said the announcement by the Chief Minister that two new tourism-related projects will be implemented here is good news for the people.

“These are the development of a proposed resort comprising 30 chalets at the Tawau Hills Park, and a Tawau jetty for tourism purposes.

“The jetty will have the capacity to accommodate ferries designed to carry tourists from Tawau to the Semporna islands for their holiday.

“These two new projects plus the upcoming TICC will definitely spur trade and economic growth as well as create investment opportunities in this east coast town,” Liew said in a statement today.

While officiating at the groundbreaking ceremony for the development of TICC, Hajiji said to applause: “Certainly, we will develop a resort at the Tawau Hills Park.”
