Kota Kinabalu is on the west coast of Sabah, on the island of Borneo, and offers opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, retail, diving, transport, and construction. The lifestyle is generally relaxed, with tropical weather, affordable local food, lively markets, and easy access to islands such as Manukan, Sapi, and Gaya. Sabah has a diverse culture shaped by Kadazan-Dusun, Malay, Chinese, Bajau, and other communities, with English commonly used in tourism workplaces. Foreign workers normally need an employment pass or appropriate work permit arranged through the employer before starting work; tourists cannot legally work.
