KUCHING, 17 May 2024: For the second year in a row, a delegation representing Sarawak is participating in this week’s IMEX Frankfurt in Germany, but this time, Sarawak took centre stage with an impressive brand new pavilion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarawak strategically invested in a pavilion to showcase the state\u2019s travel content, focusing on the lucrative MICE market (meetings, incentives conferences and exhibitions)<\/em>. The timing of IMEX Frankfurt, hosted from 14 to 16 May, following the Arabian Travel Market held in Dubai last week, demonstrates Sarawak’s continuous efforts to promote its travel experiences to international travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n

In 2023, IMEX Frankfurt hosted 3,883 event buyers from 94 countries and registered a visitor footfall of 11,764 visitors over the three-day trade show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investing in a pavilion at IMEX underscores the state\u2019s commitment to attracting top-flight events to Sarawak and establishing it as a hub for meetings in Malaysia and Borneo Island.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Ministry for Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Sarawak, led by Deputy Minister Datuk Snowdan Lawan, played a pivotal role in the promotion. He commented: \u201cExhibiting at IMEX Frankfurt amplifies the message that Sarawak is genuinely interested and engaged in impact-driven events. With the Post Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030 in motion, the Sarawak government actively seeks quality business events to contribute to economic prosperity, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo attract international conventions and exhibitions, as well as corporate meetings and incentives, Sarawak must be recognisable and identifiable worldwide. We are glad to be here again for the second year to explore new business opportunities with global players,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
