Sarawak strengthens national event ties. Tourism ministry reaffirms support for business events organisers across Malaysia as part of its PCDS 2030 strategy to drive economic and social impact.
Sarawak’s ministry of tourism, creative industry and performing arts has reaffirmed its support for business events organisers throughout Malaysia, emphasising that collaboration between Sarawak and other parts of the country will be key to the next four years of Sarawak’s Post Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030 (PCDS 2030).
The message was highlighted during Business Events Sarawak’s (BESarawak) Ramadan engagement series in Kuala Lumpur, part of a broader initiative to strengthen partnerships with the national business events ecosystem, expand future bid pipelines, and position business events as a strategic driver of long-term economic and social impact.
The engagement also comes at an important moment as Sarawak enters the final phase of its development roadmap, a strategy for working with industry partners across Malaysia will be key to turning strategic goals into real results for the industry and communities.
“The ministry, through Business Events Sarawak, remain committed to supporting organisations across the country that wish to bring impactful business events to Sarawak,” the honourable Datuk Snowdan Lawan, deputy minister for tourism and the creative industry and performing arts Sarawak told the Kuala Lumpur engagement session.
“Collaboration has always been the driving force behind Sarawak’s success as a business events destination,” said Jason Tan Chin Foo, acting CEO of BESarawak. “Through our legacy impact initiatives and comprehensive support for business event organisers, we aim to strengthen the contributions of every industry player and foster meaningful partnerships that deliver lasting legacies for Sarawak, Malaysia and beyond. Initiatives such as the Academic Mobility Programme also enable universities to organise study tours and technical visits to Sarawak, further connecting academia with industry and supporting our vision to position Sarawak as the Legacy Capital of Business Events in Malaysia and Borneo.”
The Academic Mobility Programme is a new initiative for universities to organise and host study tours and technical visits to Sarawak. The aim is to strengthen the bridge between research and local industries, communities and development sectors.
