KUCHING, 16th November 2022 – Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) today welcomed 40 international beauty queens participating in the 25th Miss Tourism International 2022 World Final at Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV).

Miss Uganda, Sydney Nabulya Kavuma, expressed her admiration of Sarawak hospitality by the locals who she said treated her like their own, making her feel very much at home.

“The (Sarawak) hospitality is at its best, the view is so magnificent and the river cruise was unbelievable, so I invite everyone to come and experience Sarawak because there is so much more to discover,” she added.
