Sabah on right track to be leading regional MICE destination, says Liew
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is on the right track to become a leading destination for the Meeting, Incentive Travel, Convention & Exhibition (MICE) industry following aggressive measures undertaken by the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), says Datuk Seri Christina Liew ( pic ). The state Tourism, Culture and Environment said her ministry fully supported SICC organised events that helped drive domestic tourism, empower local entrepreneurs and elevate Sabah's profile in the regional economic landscape. She said this after being briefed by SICC chief executive officer Datuk Dr Rosmawati Lasuki on the SICC's BIGSABAH Sale 2025 event being held from Oct 31-Nov 2, this year. Liew said that Sabah through SICC is strengthening regional ties ahead of the event with expanded international participation. "I understand that the event will feature 500 booths, up from 300 in 2024, and is expected to attract 50,000 visitors," Liew said Liew observed that the BIGSABAH Sale 2025 aims to further strengthen Sabah's positioning as the gateway to East Asean and the Asia Pacific region. Towards this end, for the first time, a business-to-business (B2B) component will also be introduced for participants to create meaningful trade connections and unlock regional opportunities, she added. Rosmawati said the focus was on the 80 million population of the BIMP-EAGA (Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines-East Asean Growth Area) region. "Sabah can serve as a platform for these countries and other regions to promote their products and services. "In this respect, we are stimulating growing international interest by extending invitations to other countries, including China, Singapore, and Taiwan, to take part in this year's event. "Thailand has confirmed participation with 20 booths," she said. Rosmawati said they conducted promotional visits to Brunei and Indonesia, along with outreach efforts across Penang, Kedah, Perlis, Selangor, and Kuala Lumpur, to build regional participation and connect businesses to Sabah's growing marketplace. The BIGSABAH Sale will be themed under Gourmet & Home Living and Decor as well as Fashion & Lifestyle (Level 4), which will showcase culture, commerce, cuisine, fashion, and collaboration, Rosmawati added.

Malaysia seeks closer MICE cooperation with Vietnam, says Tiong
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is exploring closer cooperation with Vietnam in the Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE) sector to strengthen bilateral tourism and boost high-end business travel between the two countries. Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing said during his recent visit to Ho Chi Minh City, he had encouraged Viettours, a well-known travel company in Vietnam, to share proposals related to high-end business travel and corporate incentive programmes with Malaysia. Among other things, he said the aim was to leverage Malaysia's strong infrastructure, extensive convention and exhibition facilities, and its diverse tourism and cultural offerings. "By working alongside local MICE agencies such as Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB), we can jointly develop packages that blend business and leisure. "For example, combining conferences with cultural activities, team-building retreats for executives in Langkawi, adventure-themed programmes in Sabah, and medical or tech-focused meetings in Penang or Perak," he said in a Facebook post on Thursday (July 31). Tiong said the Viettours team had expressed the need for more detailed destination information and professional partners to help design suitable itineraries. Looking ahead, he said Malaysia plans to organise a dedicated Malaysia MICE roadshow in Vietnam to facilitate business-to-business (B2B) engagements and partnerships. "We hope this exchange marks the beginning of a new chapter in Malaysia-Vietnam tourism cooperation, one that brings mutual benefits and shared growth,' he added. - Bernama
