KUCHING, Nov 11: With the coming Sarawak Election 2026 and a packed calendar of major events in the final two months of the year, Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts Sarawak Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah remains hopeful that Sarawak will reach its target of five million visitor arrivals this year.
He cited several major events that will take place this year, including the Manggung Di Muara 2026 concert set to take place this weekend, the Sarawak Countdown 2027 celebration, and the Borneo Jazz Festival 2026, which he hoped would increase the number of tourist arrivals to Sarawak.
“I also believe that with the State election taking place, many people will come to observe how the election is conducted in Sarawak, particularly members of the media from Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore.
