The organising of the annual event not only strengthens the cultural heritage of the Melanau community, but also has a positive impact on the tourism sector and the local economy. The festival also provide ample opportunities for small entrepreneurs, promotes local products and introduces Mukah as a unique tourist destination to visitors from home and abroad.
It is a cultural heritage of the Melanau community that is rich in symbolic, customary and spiritual values and one of the symbols of the identity as well as self-respect of the Melanau community. At the same time, it is a strong testament to the richness and diversity of the culture of Sarawak which is well known for the everlasting peace and harmony among the people from various background and ethnicities.
