SCB's Managing Director Mike Cannon commented, "Our main purpose of participating in the roadshow was to strengthen our marketing and promotional efforts towards recovery of the business events and tourism industry.

Guests at these presentations also had the chance to win prizes from Borneo in a lucky draw and meet Brooke; SCB's travelling orangutan and latest Sarawak superstar. Donny Tan, SCB Business Development Manager commented, "Overall, the roadshow was a success in connecting with the local industry in China and to also reintroduce Sarawak's capability and past successes of hosting international conferences and corporate meetings. The response was encouraging and we expect the momentum to carry on through to 2015." Jason Tan, SCB Business Development Manager added, "The roadshow was a great initiative by MyCEB to gather the local industry and work together as a team in rebuilding Malaysia's image as a business events destination. Our aim with the presentation on Sarawak was to inspire potential clients from China to venture to Sarawak and unfold a new chapter in their business adventure. We look forward to welcoming them to Sarawak in 2015."
