Your preferred Meetings & Incentive Destination

Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions

Due to its great combination of modern facilities and the preservation of many charming elements of the destination, visitors prefer Sabah as their MICE venue. Enchanting Sabah has a lot to offer, including its immersion in culture and adventure, in addition to being frequently highlighted for its nature and wildlife.


Sabah’s growing popularity as an incentive and meeting destination is primarily due to its people and geographic location.

Sabahans, who are renowned for their charming hospitality, further enhance an unforgettable incentive and meeting experience.

Sabah is known for its virgin rainforest, stunning islands and world-class conservation and wildlife sanctuaries. Sabah’s rich natural heritage is guarded and managed in a number of parks and protected areas throughout the state.

Sabah Tourism Board though not a convention bureau, endeavors to support related MICE or Business Events in Sabah.

Sabah's Blues

Dubbed as having among the top 8 Sunsets in the world, visitors flock the Tanjung Aru Beach to witness this beautiful sight. There are also many beach resorts to choose from as well all along the West Coast up to the Tip of Borneo, Kudat. Islands are also spread from coast to coast. Imagine getting to a cluster of islands just 15 minutes away from the city centre? That would be the Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks which also houses Borneo’s longest Island to Island zipline. Stargazing has also become a well-sought activity.

#SABAH OKBAH
Responsibility = Sustainable

An effort to promote responsible and sustainable tourism. In Sabah, besides the tourist, our local community can also benefit from being aware of responsible and sustainable tourism notions. We also want our visitors to enjoy this destination and gain a memorable experience and know that we realize that we are blessed with natural resources and that we are proud to have it preserved.

Ideas

Besides injecting some fun into MICE event with interesting theme set ups, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) options vary from the underrated tree planting to day trips to visit the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre and Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre in Sandakan, to engaging in some marine life activities such as coral planting. Some of these ideas may seem typical, however, pegged with relevant information, the experience becomes educational and worthwhile. We tend to inject localized ideas such as bazaar setups that would allow you to meet local crafters.

Getting Around

During the days of the event, delegates would not have issues with transportation which varies from taxis to e-hailing services since most of the venues are located within city / town premises. Access to pharmacies, clinics, 24-hour convenience stores is easy. Our malls, we do have to mention, services you until 10pm!
