Kiulu’s potential was highlighted during the 6th Annual Meeting of the Cittaslow Taiwan General Assembly in Dongyin, Taiwan, on Sept 5-6. During the Cittaslow Taiwan General Assembly, STB Product Manager Effendi Mahany represented STB and presented on ‘Sabah, Malaysia’s Premier Ecotourism Destination: A Unique Journey of Culture, Adventure and Nature’. In August, M-TEIA collaborated with STB and the Kiulu Tourism Association to organise an international exchange seminar in Kiulu, thereby strengthening knowledge sharing and building links with Taiwan’s Nanhua University. Building on this momentum, the Kiulu Tourism Association partnered with Nanhua University to provide a three-year training programme for 15 farmers, focusing on pineapple cultivation, product processing, and agro-tourism development. Kiulu Tourism Association president Meijin Manginggow said that with STB’s guidance, such partnerships will further empower local communities to diversify into agrotourism.
