KUCHING, Nov 26: The Sarawak Delta Geopark Package Vol.2 tour package has been officially launched, featuring 42 thematic itineraries carefully curated by 13 Sarawakian tour operators to showcase the region’s unique and diverse geological, cultural, and adventure attractions.
According to a press release, the new package will explore the region’s unique geological formations, diverse flora and fauna, thrilling adventure activities, rich cultural experiences, and distinctive gastronomy. These packages serve as a key selling point as the Sarawak Delta Geopark prepares for its proposed designation as a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2026.
“Sarawak Delta Geopark stands as Malaysia’s truly remarkable hidden gem. Spanning over 3,112 square kilometres across the Kuching, Bau, and Padawan districts, this is a breathtaking and expansive landscape.
“It offers visitors, a rare opportunity to explore an area uniquely shaped by millions of years of geological history, providing not just natural beauty, but a profound sense of heritage and adventure,” Tourism Malaysia deputy director general (Promotions II) Samuel Lee said in his speech at the launch of Sarawak Delta Geopark Package Vol.2 in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
“The launch of the Sarawak Delta Geopark Packages Volume 2 marks a new chapter in showcasing the wonders of this extraordinary destination to the world.”
The development of this package represents a strategic partnership between Tourism Malaysia and the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts, Sarawak, in line with the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) vision to empower sustainable and cultural tourism.
Among the captivating destinations featured in these packages are the Sarawak Cultural Village and Bako National Park in Kuching; the Wind and Fairy Cave Nature Reserve and Paku Rock Maze in Bau; and Annah Rais Homestay and Semadang River Kayak in Padawan.
The Geopark tour package was launched during the Jom Ke Sarawak Roadshow, organised by Tourism Malaysia in collaboration with the Association of Sarawak Inbound Agencies (ASIA), the Sarawak Tourism Board, and Business Events Sarawak.
Featuring 22 representatives from the Sarawak tourism industry, the main objective of the roadshow is to promote Sarawak as a leading MICE destination, highlighted by a dedicated Business to Business (B2B) session connecting Sarawak and Central Region industry players.
The launch ceremony was graced by distinguished dignitaries, including Philip Yong, chairman of Association of Sarawak Inbound Agencies (ASIA); Madeline George Pau, head of Geopark Management Unit, Sarawak Forestry Department, Gustino Basuan, acting director of Marketing (Domestic and ASEAN) of the Sarawak Tourism Board; and Gloria Pahang, manager of Business
Development of Business Events Sarawak.
This strategic initiative directly supports the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) vision by promoting Sarawak as a MICE destination and a premier hub for sustainable cultural tourism.
By showcasing the region’s unique Geopark assets, the initiative further enhances Malaysia’s appeal as a world-class, responsible travel destination.
Sarawak demonstrated robust appeal, registering a total of 3.6 million visitor arrivals from January to September 2025.
Malaysia recorded a compelling performance in tourist arrivals, welcoming a total of 28,242,804 visitors from January to August 2025, which marks a significant growth of 14.5 per cent compared to the same period last year. – DayakDaily
