SCB was also the recipient for the BrandLaureate Country Branding Award 2011-2012. APBF acknowledged the role of the state Bureau in promoting Sarawak as a destination brand, commenting on its continuous effort in the areas of Business Events and tourism.

“SCB has been at the forefront of promoting Brand Sarawak in areas of MICE and tourism to the world and has done a great job. SCB is highly committed to its role and its success is reflected in the many MICE events held in Sarawak and the number of tourist arrivals” says Dr. KKJohan, the founding president of the BrandLaureate.

Amelia Roziman, Chief Operating Officer of SCB further commented, “As SCB embarks in its second decade championing Business Events for the State under our boldest campaign yet Redefining Global Tribes, this is a testimony of our past branding efforts, as well as an affirmation of our brand strategy for the destination under our boldest campaign.”
