KOTA KINABALU: A new tourist assistant information service known as ASK Mi will now make it easier for international and domestic tourists to get more information on Sabah.
Introduced by the state Tourism, Culture and Environment Ministry through Sabah Tourism Board (STB), these tourist assistants are placed at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport and the many shopping malls here to assist tourists and visitors.
Deputy Chief Minister cum Tourism, Culture, and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew said most of tourist assistants were unemployed graduates.
She said the graduates were trained on the many attractions in the state.
“The intake of tourist assistants is to further boost services by STB following the increase of tourist arrivals in the state,” she said after launching ASK Mi at the airport here, today.
She added the service would be expanded to other airports such as in Tawau and Sandakan.
The ASK Mi service provides language options such as Mandarin, English, Bahasa Malaysia, and Kadazan.
