KUCHING, Nov 1: Craft sales at Sarawak Regatta 2026 are expected to comfortably surpass the RM2 million threshold, driven by a surge in visitor turnout buoyed by a flurry of high-profile international events hosted across Kuching throughout October.
Caretaker Minister for Tourism, Creative Industries and Performing Arts Sarawak (MTCP) Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah noted that last year’s craft sales reached RM2.4 million, while this year’s final figures were still pending as trading continued until the closing night.
“I think we could reach a similar level this year, possibly exceeding RM2 million in craft sales,” he told reporters after attending the closing ceremony of Regatta Sarawak 2026 at Kuching Waterfront today.
