Kota Kinabalu: Some 480 graduates of the Asian Tourism International (ATI) College from the 2020, 2021 and 2022 batches received their respective scrolls during its 25th Convocation held at Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), here, Thursday.
The convocation was officiated by Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam who said he was confident the tourism industry would flourish once again after the country opened its borders and allow international tourists back to Malaysia.
“This will also boost rural tourism especially community-based tourism, in line with the aspirations of the Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Ministry which wants to transform community-based tourism into a world-class tourism destination by 2030,” he said.
