TAWAU: The Tawau Chinese Chamber of Commerce (CCCT) welcomed the collaboration with Sri Pelancongan Sabah Sdn Bhd to support the upcoming Tropical Rainforest Run 2025, expected to take place this November at the District Hills Park. CCCT Vice President William Tan said the chamber is fully committed to supporting the event, which he believes will help boost the local economy and enhance Tawau's public image. He said CCCT has always been committed to working closely with the government and related agencies to develop the tourism sector and local economic growth. 'Tawau's rich natural landscape and cultural diversity provide a strong foundation for eco-tourism and sports tourism in the district. 'Tawau is not only home to one of the world's rare tropical rainforests, but also known for its warm, friendly and kind-hearted people,' he said. He encouraged the public to support the Tropical Rainforest Run 2025 as an opportunity for every Tawau resident to become an ambassador for the district. Tan said this during a courtesy visit from a delegation from Sri Pelancongan Sabah, led by Senior Manager for Event Operations Winceslaus Gerald Autine. The group also included Event Operations Executive Jacklos Masingkop and Sales & Marketing Manager Pius Lee. Also present were CCCT Treasurer Alex Chua and Committee Member Khor Chung Chung. Meanwhile, Chua urged local business owners to take part in the event by setting up stalls, sponsoring activities, or organising exhibitions during the programme. He believes such events offer an effective platform for branding and corporate visibility, while creating a win-win ecosystem for all stakeholders involved. Sri Pelancongan Sabah expects this year's Tropical Rainforest Run to be held on a larger scale, with higher participation from international runners, thanks to earlier preparations. They also emphasised that the event is not just a sports activity, but also a key platform to showcase Sabah's ecological treasures and cultural richness to a wider audience. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
