KUCHING, Mar 7: Collaboration with other parts of the country will be key to the next four years of Sarawak’s Post Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030 (PCDS 2030), reaffirming its support for business event organisers nationwide as the State enters the final phase of its development roadmap.

According to a press release, 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.

Representing the Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts Sarawak Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah at the engagement session was Datuk Snowdan Lawan, who is the Deputy Minister for Creative Industry and Performing Arts Sarawak.

“The Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts Sarawak, through BESarawak, remain committed to supporting organisations across the country that wish to bring impactful business events to Sarawak,” he said.

Meanwhile, BESarawak acting chief executive officer (CEO) Jason Tan Chin Foo said that collaboration has always been the driving force behind Sarawak’s success as a business events destination.

“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,” said Tan. — DayakDaily
