A considerable section of Inanam is located within the Crocker Range Biosphere Reserve (CRBR), which offers opportunities for the growth of the tourism industry.

Minister for Tourism, Culture, and Environment Datuk Christina Liew said that Inanam has a lot of lovely attractions that may be enhanced on an individual and collective basis.

At the Chinese New Year celebration in Inanam, Liew declared, "As the Sabah Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Environment, I will try my best to highlight Inanam as one of the tourism hubs in Sabah."

She also urged all Inanams, regardless of color, ethnicity, or religion, to keep up their support for the central government and the State Government under Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, particularly for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's initiatives to improve our nation's standing internationally.

Liew emphasized that the Prime Minister has developed a plan for efficient national governance by delineating the management of the Madani idea.

She pointed out that the recent surge in real estate investors in the area is evidence of Inanam's rapid development expansion.

Liew expressed her happiness at seeing the festive celebration full of goodwill, and she urged people to embrace the virtues of tenacity, bravery, and unity represented by the Chinese zodiac and the dragon.

She made it clear that these ideals stand for wealth, luck, and pleasant energy.

In addition, Inanam and Likas Assemblymen Tan Lee Fatt and Peto Galim, as well as Sepanggar Member of Parliament Datuk Mustapha Sakmud, attended the event.
