Pesta Bengkoka Can Promote Pitas As Tourism Destination: Musa

PITAS, May 27 (Bernama) — Pesta Bengkoka, a local annual fiesta celebrated simultaneously with Pesta Kaamatan (Harvest Festival), can help promote the district as a new state tourism destination, according to Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman.

He said this was because the district was also blessed with a beautiful and unique natural environment apart from being rich in culture and traditions.

“I believe Pitas will be a popular tourism destination one day,” he said in his speech delivered by state Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Hajiji Noor while launching the dual celebrations here Sunday.
