Kudos to Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Sarawak (MTACS) which has listed a total of 117 events and festivals under next year's Sarawak Tourism Calendar of Events to promote tourism and attract tourists to Sarawak. 

Our 2021 calendar of events was announced by the Assistant Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture YB Datuk Sebastian Ting yesterday after he chaired the Sarawak Tourism Coordination Committee (STCC) meeting held at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) in Jalan Bako. It's a fact that in 2020, we have facied a difficult time due Covid19 pandemic and the tourism industry is severely affected. 

Our State Government through MTACS ministry has however worked hard to prepare and focus on preparation for 2021. Out of that 105 events were managed to be held throughout the state this year, he said among the new events included in the 2021 tourism calendarwill be the opening of the Borneo Cultural Museum (expected in March) as well as the World Rainforest Music Festival, Borneo Jazz Music Festival, Benak Festival, Borneo Cultural Festival and Sarawak Regatta.  also congratulate the ministry for having to focus next on community-based or domestic events because the state’s tourism industry had been affected by the Covid19 pandemic.
