Sabah Tourism Board

Sabah Tourism Board, Tourism office in Gaya Street, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

The Sabah Tourism Board occupies a white colonial building with stone walls and traditional architectural features located on Gaya Street in central Kota Kinabalu. The office provides information about accommodations, local transportation, and organized tours to major destinations including Mount Kinabalu and nearby areas.

Built in 1916 of wood by a Sandakan printing company, the Jesselton Post Office was officiated on 16 March 1918 by Governor Aylmer Cavendish Pearson. A 1936 renovation by Public Works Department engineer JW Norman replaced the walls with stone and housed audit, treasury, post and bank offices. Bombed by Allied forces in World War II, it was repaired, returned to postal use in 1986, and passed to the tourism board in 1987.

The building began as the Jesselton Post Office, built in wood by a Sandakan printing company in 1916 and opened by Governor Aylmer Cavendish Pearson on 16 March 1918. A Kilometre Zero plaque set into the floor in front of it on 16 March 2011 marks the point from which distances across Sabah are measured, recalling its postal past.

Visitors can obtain detailed maps, local transportation information, and accommodation recommendations for the entire region at this office. Staff members assist with planning excursions, hiking trips, and tours to nature reserves and other attractions throughout Sabah.

A marker called Kilometre Zero stands at the front entrance and serves as the reference point for measuring all distances throughout Sabah state. This single spot anchors the distance measurements that guides use when describing how far away other locations are from the city center.
