Thus, this year we strive to bring the best out of both festivals.”

“We are thrilled to present both the festivals that will bring the world back together with music. We are bridging the past with the future and sustaining and reinventing our musical heritage and its traditions for many years to come,” he said.

“Through both international events, we are building the music tourism ecosystem in Sarawak to elevate the state as a cultural and music centre, in line with STB’s goals to promote sustainable and responsible tourism,” he added. 

“Organising the festivals in Sarawak will also bring travellers from all over the world to the Land of the Hornbills, keeping Sarawak at the top of stakeholder’s minds while promoting the rich land of Sarawak against the fascinating backdrop of history and mystery, culture, adventure, nature, festivals and food. While re-building the tourism industry, it will also stimulate domestic and international travelling for a better tourism future,” he concluded.
