Every state with a foreign neighbour should be looking for direct connectivity. This is to ensure tourists arrive into their state first.
As an example Sarawak will be looking at air connectivity with Australia, as it is an important factor for closer economical and cultural ties with South Australia.
According to Housing and Tourism Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg, air connectivity between the state and Australia is an important factor proven previously when the state had direct flights to Perth and from Sydney. The flights, which were provided by Malaysian Airlines, were withdrawn during the financial crisis.
Abang Johari said this during a dinner held to welcome Australia’s Multicultural Affairs, Police, Correctional, Emergency and Road Safety Minister Jennifer Rankine on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Rankine in her speech invited Abang Johari and in particular his ministry to visit Adelaide to promote Sarawak, its unique culture as well as its indigenous arts and craft during the AusAsia Festival to be held in 2013. The AusAsia Festival 2013 will have a theme and country focus on Malaysia.
