Introduction to tourism Mathieson and Wall (1982) created a good working definition

of tourism as "the temporary movement of people to destinations outside their normal places of work and residence, the activities undertaken during their stay in those destinations, and the facilities created to cater to their needs.

Tourism is a collection of activities, services and industries that delivers a travel experience, including transportation, accommodations, eating and drinking establishments, retail shops, entertainment businesses, activity facilities and other hospitality services provided for individuals or groups traveling away from home.

There are four places that we choose to promote to the tourist such as Lahad Datu, Kota kinabalu, Sandakan, and Kudat.

LAHAD DATU Tabin Wildlife

Tabin Wildlife Refuge is a nature preserve in Sabah, eastern Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It was created in 1984 to preserve Sabah’s disappearing wild animals. Occupying a large part of the peninsula forming the northern headland of Darvel Bay, it is located 48 kilometers east of Lahad Datu

Lembah Danum Valley Danum Valley Conservation Area is a 438 square kilometres tract of

relatively undisturbed forest in Sabah. It is blessed with a startling diversity of tropical flora and fauna such as the rare Sumatran Rhinoceros, orang utans, gibbons, mousedeer, clouded leopard and some 270 species of birds. Activities offered are jungle treks, river swimming, bird watching, night jungle tours and excursions to nearby logging sites and timber mills.

Tower Of Heaven Tower of Heaven (Menara Kayangan) is 33-Meter tall (about 108 feet) and

located at 620 Meters above sea level on Mount Silam. The tower is a very solid building supported by steel and cement structure, and able to hold up to 30 visitors. As this is a forested high ground, the air here is cooling and refreshing. You will feel so comfortable that you want to stay longer for the

nice air and view.

SANDAKAN

Sepilok Sepilok orang utan rehabilition centre located

about 25 kilometers west of sandakan in the state of sabah.

The centre opened in 1964 as the first official Ticket come Adulth-RM5 RM30 Child –RM2/RM15

valid for the day of purchase

Pasar sim-sim

My mouth was watering when I wrote this. BBQ Fish (“Ikan Bakar” in Malay language, means BBQ Fish), in Sim-Sim Pasar

(market), only a few KM away from Sandakan town, is probably one of the “must-try” food for people who come to Sandakan,

and everyone who had tried it always give a thumb-up and come back again. It is a sin if I don’t share this with you.

Turtle Islands Park (Taman Pulau Penyu) is located within the Turtle Islands, which lie in the Sulu Sea some 40 kilometers north of Sandakan in Sabah’

It consists of 3 island . Selingan , Bakkungan kechil and Gulisaan . Including coral reefs and ocean green turtles and hawksbill turtles.

KUDAT Tanjung Simpang Mengayau

Tanjung Simpang Mengayau also known as Tip of Borneo in English is the northernmost tip of Borneo located in the district of Kudat, in the state of Sabah, Malaysia. The tip marks the meeting point of the South China Sea and Sulu Sea.

Kelambu Beach Kelambu Beach is one of the best beaches in sabah. It is not well

known among the tourists compare  to the famous Simpang Mengayau beach the tip of borneo.  Placed 20KM approximately from the Kudat town and just opposite the Tip of Borneo.

Bavanggazo Long house Bavanggazo Longhouse is located in Kudat, about 2 and a half hours

drive from Kota Kinabalu. The homestay offers a very rewarding experience with the Rungus, a sub-group of the Kadazan-Dusun. Bavanggazo, in Rungus, means "big river"
