Borneo Flora Festival 2025 boosts Labuan's economy and regional ties
LABUAN: The Borneo Flora Festival (BFF) 2025 is more than a floral showcase—it is a strategic initiative under the MADANI Government's reform agenda to reshape Labuan's economic future. Launched today, the festival aims to diversify the island's economy beyond oil and gas while fostering regional collaboration. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa highlighted Labuan's progress, noting a 5.4 per cent GDP per capita growth in 2024. 'Labuan's GDP per capita reached RM87,000 last year, the second highest in Malaysia, but we must ensure this translates to real benefits for the people,' she said. Tourism is a key focus, with over one million visitors in 2024—a 15.7 per cent increase from the previous year. The BFF is expected to attract 50,000 visitors, generating RM20 million in direct economic impact for local businesses. 'This festival is a catalyst for sustainable growth, benefiting hotels, food vendors, and small enterprises,' Dr Zaliha added. Beyond economic gains, the festival strengthens regional ties under the theme 'Strengthening Borneo Regional Cooperation.' Thirty-one exhibitors from Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei, and Indonesia are participating. 'This reflects our shared vision to position Borneo as a hub for tropical horticulture and tourism,' she said. The BFF also aligns with ASEAN and BIMP-EAGA goals, promoting cross-border trade and cultural exchange. 'Our diversity is our strength, and this festival opens doors for investment and knowledge sharing,' Dr Zaliha concluded. - Bernama

Borneo Flora Fest generating spillover
Published on: Saturday, July 26, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jul 26, 2025 By: Bernama Text Size: A full rehearsal and final preparations for the Borneo Flora Festival (BFF) @ Labuan 2025 was held during a site visit by Zaliha on Friday. LABUAN: The Borneo Flora Festival (BFF) 2025, which officially begins today (Saturday), is already generating significant economic spillover across Labuan, with thousands of visitors arriving for the five-day floral and cultural celebration. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa, said the scale of the event has sparked a 'massive local mobilisation effort' that is benefiting businesses and communities throughout the island. 'We are witnessing a strong influx of visitors into Labuan, and this has begun to directly benefit local hoteliers, restaurants, homestay operators and even house owners who are now opening up their homes as temporary lodging due to overwhelming demand,' she said after inspecting final preparations at the Labuan International Sea Sports Complex, here, Friday. Dr Zaliha said preliminary estimates indicate more than RM20 million in revenue is expected to be generated by traders and business operators, driven by high demand for goods, services and accommodations throughout the event. 'It is projected that over 50,000 come-and-go visitors will attend the festival over the five days, and based on our calculations, each visitor is estimated to spend an average of RM400 during their stay,' she added. The Borneo Flora Festival, hosted in the heart of Labuan town, features spectacular floral exhibitions, cultural performances, traditional crafts showcases, and participation from local and regional government bodies, including representatives from Indonesia's Kalimantan and dignitaries from Sabah and Sarawak. Adding to the prestige of the event, Her Majesty the Raja Permaisuri Agong will officially grace the opening ceremony, joined by the Prime Minister's spouse and the wives of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Sabah and Sarawak. 'This is not just a tourism event. It is a major economic driver, creating income opportunities across sectors, from logistics, hospitality and food supply, to transport and cultural enterprises,' Dr Zaliha said. She commended the coordinated efforts of Labuan Corporation, the Department of Federal Territories, Kuala Lumpur City Hall, Putrajaya Corporation, and community organisations in ensuring that the island is well-prepared to receive the surge in visitors. The festival is part of the Federal Territories' initiative to strengthen Labuan's identity as a tourism and cultural hub, with future plans to expand similar large-scale events to further stimulate the island's economy. Local stakeholders have also reported a surge in pre-orders and bookings for traditional food products, floral souvenirs, boat transport, and private shuttle services. 'This is a timely boost for Labuan's economic ecosystem, as the community's involvement, from house owners converting their homes into temporary homestays to small vendors expanding their stock, demonstrates the inclusive benefit of this festival,' Dr Zaliha added. The Borneo Flora Festival 2025 runs from July 26 to 30. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
