\u201cThroughout it, the villagers have been exposed to the techniques of depiction and prepare suitable, unique, and popular dishes to be served to tourists.<\/p>\n
“We have also motivated them to be more creative and use their plant materials in the preparation of food and beverages,” he said in a statement here, today.<\/p>\n
Held at the UMS FBEA Hotelab, the course was organised in collaboration with FBEA and the City Tourism Development Department, Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK).<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from food products, this course also shares knowledge and ideas on how to create quality and unique souvenir products.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully, the efforts of UMS and DBKK can prepare the residents in the field of community-based tourism, thus empowering and creating side income for the community,” he said.<\/p>\n
