Borneo Convention Centre Kuching

The Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) is the first international purpose-built convention centre in Sarawak, Malaysia. Growing alongside Sarawak’s position as a captivating ecotourism destination on the mystical island of Borneo, the BCCK serves the Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) industry at local, national, regional and international levels. Deputing in 2009, the Centre is a state initiative of the Sarawak Government to grow business tourism through the hosting of business events. To date, the BCCK has welcomed close to 1.5 million clients, delegates and visitors from different corners of the world and hosted around 1,200 events. The BCCK epitomises the progressive vision of Sarawak Government to bring socio-economic progress to the state through new sources of growth. The business of event hosting has created job and business opportunities for Sarawakians in the tourism sector. Suppliers and service providers have also benefitted in tandem with this vision as innumerable goods and services are procured to support event hosting. Situated on the Kuching Isthmus and ringed by the Sarawak River, the BCCK is approximately fifteen minutes’ drive from the city centre and twenty minutes drive from the Kuching International Airport. Conceived and built with nature and a green theme in mind, the Centre’s structural designs were inspired by the rainforest trees of Borneo with a roof akin to the native ririk leaf. Rainwater is harvested as it flows from the roof’s centre to water the Centre’s tropical garden. Fulfilling both form and function, the building showcases its distinctive interior and exterior architectural features designed to deliver BCCK’s business purpose as well as the Centre’s commitment to environmental sustainability and conservation.
