Sarawak is not only rich in flora and fauna, it is also rich in ethnic and cultural diversity, thus making Sarawak unique in terms of depicting a pluralist society with a high value of tolerance.

Sarawak Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said these two features are among Sarawak’s main strengths in attracting visitors to the state.
