With the success of the recent ABF Tour Malaysia still fresh in our mind, the second stop of the ABF Tour in its inaugural year is just around the corner in May.

After all the planning and organization of getting the Tour underway, I am more than pleased at such a successful start to what is sure to be a fantastic six-leg event. This has been a perfect start to a perfect Tour. We have created a superb showcase for Asian Bowling.

The Tour will certainly become more and more popular as can be seen from the response of the bowlers even though the Asian Bowling Calendar is over flooded by international events. With the 18th Asian Championship in July and the 8th World Youth Championship in early August, I am confident that the legs of the ABF Tour 2004 will be training arenas for the high caliber bowlers from all over Asia.

Meanwhile, Asian Bowling Federation would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the Bowling Federations which are sending their participants to the Tour as well as all those who had extended their support one way or the other in making this Tour a success. Special thanks must also go to the Federations, which will devote their best effort in ensuring that each leg hosted by them is a success.
