KUCHING, 19 August 2026: During the ongoing PATA Travel Mart 2026 at the Borneo Convention Centre, hundreds of exhibitors, including destinations, organisations, hotels, homestays and more gather for 2 days of networking and B2B opportunities, with plenty of Sarawak’s handicrafts and gastronomy offerings being showcased to the global tourism community.
This year’s highlights include stunning pavilions from Discover Russia, Macao Government Tourism Office, Amazing Thailand, Tourism Malaysia, Nepal, Kerala, Taiwan Tourism Administration, Maldives and of course, the host of this year’s Travel Mart, Sarawak Tourism Board.

Also not to be missed, the Artisan Market located outside BCCK’s Hall B, a stunning showcase of the best of Sarawak’s crafts, from beaded jewellery to handwoven bags and local batik. BorneoTalk’s own Stirring Up Borneo is also part of the Artisan Market, with a variety of tote bags, shoulder bags and more for sale.
