KUCHING: Pullman Kuching ushered in the Goat Year with a prosperity toss of the Yee Sang among senior citizens from Rumah Seri Kenangan and its industry partners last night.

Pullman Kuching general manager Felix Yeo said the past year had been quite challenging for them in the tourism sector in Sarawak, and they will have to work harder this year as partners in the industry try to put Sarawak more prominently on the international map.

He enthused that the Goat Year gave him a good feeling that the tourism industry may be seeing better times ahead.

Some 20 residents of Rumah Seri Kenangan were treated to a buffet and also received angpow and Chinese New Year goodies from the hotel.

Yeo said Pullman Kuching would always make it as part of their corporate social responsibility programme to bring some cheer to the old folks.

The event also featured performances by a lion dance troupe and a Dance Academy group plus rendition of some Chinese New Year songs by Astro Classic Golden Melody Award 2010 champion Irene Tam.

Six lucky draw winners took home dinner voucher for two at Puzzle, Spa treatment package at Fit & Spa, Weekdays Value Set Lunch voucher for two at Nu Er Hong, and room stays.

Also present was Tourism Ministry permanent secretary Datuk Ik Pahon.
