Sarawak promotes Borneo gateway status amid regional travel trends

Sarawak is promoting itself as the ‘Gateway to Borneo’ through a campaign aimed at highlighting its natural heritage and cultural depth. The initiative emphasizes the connection between the region's 140-million-year-old rainforests, river systems, and the local communities that inhabit them, seeking to offer travelers experiences rooted in human connection and cultural preservation.

In a related trend of regional exploration, Singaporean motorcyclists are utilizing slow-paced convoys to explore Malaysia. The ‘The Tortoise Run’ club, founded by Farhan Abdullah and Zar, focuses on a relaxed riding pace to allow participants to enjoy the scenery. The group serves as a platform for riders, including those on low-capacity motorcycles and new license holders, to explore Malaysian destinations together.
