Speaking at the awards ceremony, the Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry, Performing Arts, Youth, Sports & Entrepreneur Development YB Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah noted the “huge contribution as a result of their artistic activities should not be underestimated; instead, it should be nourished, especially to support youth in their creative ideas and inspiration.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, he also suggested that non-government organisations cooperate with MTCP and other government agencies to support veteran artists who have served society by hosting charity concerts to lighten the financial burden incurred by artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasising the various niche markets in tourism that can grow, the minister said the most noteworthy were music or concert tourism and medical tourism, which benefit from promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n

“Our singers or performers are world-renowned artists. The recently concluded Rainforest World Music Festival, which captivated a strong crowd of 19,180 festival-goers from around the globe, is strong proof that Sarawak is open-minded concert friendly and can organise mega-events.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
