In August 2024, Sarawak invested RM6.6 million to restore Tusan Beach’s iconic ‘drinking horse’ rock formation, along with an additional RM4.945 million to address temporary erosion and landslides that frequently affect the area.

Other tourism areas set to receive improvements under the RM110 million allocation include Endau Rompin National Park in Johor and Redang Island in Terengganu.

For Visit Malaysia 2026, nearly RM550 million has been earmarked to boost tourism promotion, including the organisation of cultural activities, events, flights to Malaysia, and community empowerment through arts like handicrafts and batik. — DayakDaily
