Kudos to all of our business events industry players who had helped to wrap up 2022 on a high note after securing 100 business events for 2023 and beyond. The number of events had exceeding the initial target of 90 with an achievement rate of 111 per cent. Congratulations to the hard working people at Business Events Sarawak (BE Sarawak) who had strived in securing the100 business events which were valued at RM359 million in total economic impact. The approximate direct delegate expenditure will account for about RM195 million and tax revenue at RM21.5 million.
These events are expected to open approximately 28,496 new employment opportunities for the local communities in the destination. As for the number of business events hosted by Sarawak in year 2022, a total of 93 homegrown, national and international business events were successfully hosted worth a total economic impact of RM216.3 million.
The direct delegate expenditure accounted for RM117.6 million of income, tax revenue amounted to RM13 million, while the events opened at least 17,169 jobs. The Sarawak Government had established BE Sarawak in 2006 as a non-profit body to promote the state as a competitive destination for national and international business meetings, and helping non-governmental organisations, corporations, and government bodies to organise their events successfully. Together we are optimistic for Year 2023 to be another good year for our local business events industry players.
