TOURISM FUTURE IN MIRI (83) YB Dato' Sebastian Ting Chiew Yew to ask the Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture: (a) Are there any plans to construct a proper road from Miri to Mulu for access to this excellent tourist site? (b) What are the short, medium and long term plans for Miri for: (i) The promotion of its tourism attractions and the yearly budget? (ii) More direct international flights? Menteri Pelancongan, Kesenian dan Kebudayaan (YB Datuk Lee Kim Shin): Tuan Speaker, for the information of Ahli Yang Berhormat for Piasau: (a) The Government has no immediate plan to construct a proper road to Mulu. Mulu is currently accessible by air; there are Mas Wing twice daily from Miri and once daily from Kuching. For those who are more adventurous they can take the two hours four wheel drive from Miri through Long Bedian, Long Terawan. From there, it takes another two hours long boat ride to reach Mulu. (b) My Ministry is working closely with divisional task force group under Resident Office Miri and Miri City Council, Sarawak Tourism Board and Sarawak Tourism Federation to promote Miri. Miri is a gateway to the northern region and the entry point to the one and only Sarawak UNESCO World Heritage site that is Mulu National Park. With regards to promotional activities, my Ministry has carried out tactical campaign to put Miri as one of the preferred destination to visit. The component of the tactical campaign is by positioning Miri and Mulu National Park as a twin destination. The campaign was launched last June together with Mas Wing and travel agents based in Miri. This campaign is still active and to be re-launched with better fare for next year if there is a demand. My Ministry has also carried out promotions through filming a movie whereby Miri has been chosen as a filming venue for a Chinese Blue Tears Movie highlighting the unique attractions around Miri. The movie shooting was launched end of last year. Through this movie Miri will be seen by millions of audience in China and other parts of the world which should promote Miri as the tourist destinations. Short video clips on food trail of Miri have also been shot and will be shown in local television channel to target domestic and Brunei market. Through the assistance of China Council General Kuching, China Central Television Chanel 4 (CCTV4) crew came to Sarawak towards the end of June last year to do a two weeks documentary film on Sarawak‟s Tourism attractions which also covered Miri and Mulu apart from Kuching and Sibu. The documentary film was shown in December last year by CCTV4 over the television network in various parts of China under its program known as One Belt One Road Distance Home, is translated from Chinese and in Mandarin. It is call "it tai it lo yen fang de jia." The documentary gave a good account of Miri‟s places of interest, food, culture and adventure. Mulu was prominently pictured. We have also participated in Brunei Travel Fair, 4 BELUM DISUNTING 15 MEI 2017 Bandar Seri Begawan in September 2016 under the Sarawak Brunei Joint Tourism Working Group. Promotions through domestic travel fair in Kuala Lumpur, MATA Fairs, March and September 2016, MATA Fair in Kuching September 2016 and Domestic Fair in Johor Bahru, April to May 2016 and Penang 2016.
