Various combination of travel and adventure packages to caves, cultural village museums and national parks were snapped up early by visitors on the second day of the Malaysian Domestic Tourism Fair 2009 at the Putra World Trade Centre yesterday.
Tour manager Collin Tan said Zoom Mulu was their most saleable package among people from Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore.
"Eco-tourism, national parks, the orang utan and rivers are all great attractions. Many come to relax and unwind," he said.
Tan, who manages the Sarawak Tourism Board booth at the fair, said people would also be able to take a closer look at the different cultures of Sarawak at the Sarawak Cultural Village.
"Every year, hundreds of schoolchildren come to Sarawak to learn more about nature. The trend is becoming popular among the locals," he said.
Prices for tours, from RM60 and above per person included entrance, transportation and guide fees.
While Sarawak focused on greens, Sabah is positioning itself as a diving hotspot for locals and foreigners.
Sabah Tourism Board assistant marketing manager Normegawati Sapian said the state was well known as a popular spot for divers especially Pulau Sipadan.
The island boasts vast numbers of green and hawksbill turtles which feed and breed within its waters before the females go ashore to lay eggs.
The island's coral reefs are also home to thousands of barracudas as well as other marine life.
