A DUTY-FREE zone should be established in Sarawak to enhance the state’s tourist appeal in view of Visit Malaysia Year 2020 announced during the tabling of the 2018 budget on Friday, said Malaysian Association Hotels (Sarawak Chapter) honorary secretary-general John Teo Peng Yew.

He said Miri City was strategically placed to house a duty-free zone as it was near to Brunei and Sabah.
