Datuk Masidi Manjun the Malaysian Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister stated that “One of the most important ingredients in arts is for an artist to have freedom of visual expression… This is important because it allows them to express their visual freedom and I would like to encourage for it to stay that way… With that in mind, I have already made my intentions known to the State government that we would like to put up another art gallery in the city centre at the site where the gutted building (formerly Public Works Department) used to be.  I have tried my very best although there are some legal impediment at the moment, that the site should be reserved for another art gallery for the State…” Masidi made the statement at an Art Patron appreciation ceremony where a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Sabah Cultural Board and Ming Garden Hotel. The objective of the MoU was to promote the development of visual arts in the Sabah State in line with Malaysia’s central government initiatives to raise the profile of art and culture throughout the nation.

Frédéric Lefebvre the 47 year old French Secretary of State with responsibilities for tourism has created some bemusement within the industry as he adds credibility to the fabled stories of French rudeness. Lefebvre is concerned the myth of the French shop keeper as a sneering grouch depicts the French unfavorably. Lefebvre stated he “would like to make a strong effort to improve the sense of welcoming in France”, and is keen to promote an alternative perception that there is more to French tourism than the Eiffel Tower. While tourist numbers to France are the highest in the world, the duration of visitor stays are quite short resulting in lower sales per visit. The Ministry is advocating a new marketing strategy with smiles abundant, promoting provincial cities, regions and festivals.
