For over a millennium, Sarawak’s beads have signified more than beauty. From ancient trade currency to sacred family heirlooms, these intricate threads tell stories of lineage and status among the Iban, Kayan, and Kelabit. Today, artisans fuse this living heritage with a booming global craft economy

Sarawak’s journey as a premier destination is accelerating, driven by a dynamic fusion of rich heritage, vibrant creativity, and strategic innovation. Guided by the Post-COVID-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030 and the 13th Malaysia Plan, the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts is steering the sector towards greater resilience, inclusivity, and global competitiveness.

Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry & Performing Arts, in collaboration with the Sarawak Museum Department has proposed creating an archaeological park along the Santubong Peninsula where five historical sites that provide an insight into its early history and what life was like in Santubong as far back as the 7th century are located.

Sarawak Museum Department has launched the Sarawak Museum App. The app which aims to boost the tourism industry in Sarawak through its digital platform, is part of the department’s initiatives to promote all of the museums in Sarawak through digital platforms.
