Sibu, a city in Sarawak, Malaysia, has been named the most affordable tourist destination in Malaysia by online booking platform Agoda. In a press release, Agoda revealed that Sibu offers the most competitive room rates in April, with an average room rate of RM 136 ($33 USD). The platform analysed the average room rates of tourist destinations across the Asia-Pacific region and compiled a list of the top 10 most affordable destinations, which included Khon Kaen in Thailand, Surakarta in Indonesia, and Ninh Binh in Vietnam. The press release also shared information about Sibu’s “lively food scene, rich historical and cultural heritage, and stunning natural wonders”. Travellers were encouraged to sample local dishes such as Mee Sua and Kompia, and take home souvenirs from the Sibu Central Market. Agoda hopes that the findings will help travellers “discover some exciting destinations and save money along the way”.
