Sarawak music festival to draw bumper international crowd


Tickets for the upcoming Rainforest World Music Festival in Sarawak are selling fast and the organiser, Sarawak Tourism Board, is expecting some 22,000 visitors during the three-day event.

Scheduled to take place at the Sarawak Cultural Village in Santubong from July 13-15, the Sarawak Tourism Board is targeting a mix of domestic and international tourists, including medium haul visitors from China, South Korea and Japan, and traditional longhaul markets such as Netherlands and the UK.

Angelina Bateman, director, corporate communication & government relations, Sarawak Tourism Board, said: “We are working with inbound and outbound operators from these markets as well as Tourism Malaysia offices overseas to promote the festival.”

Hotels in Kuching and the Santubong area are expected to experience high volume during the three-day event, and tour operators are advised to secure rooms early for their groups.
