KOTA KINABALU: Sabah's allure as a holiday destination is gaining traction among travellers from the Middle East, going by its prominence at a travel trade show in Dubai earlier this month.

This comes in the wake of fruitful discussions between the Sabah Tourism Board delegation led by chief executive officer Julinus Jeffery Jimit and key industry leaders at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM).
