Tourist coordinators at the new Kuching VIC located at Sarawak Tourism Complex in the Old Courthouse.
KUCHING: The Sarawak Tourism Board (STB)’s Kuching Visitor’s Information Centre (VIC) has been relocated to the Sarawak Tourism Complex at the Old Courthouse here.
STB acting chief executive officer Mary Wan Mering, in a statement yesterday, said the relocation of VIC was necessary in the board’s efforts to better accommodate visitors’ needs by strategically stationing STB tourist coordinators where they would be easily accessible to provide tourism information and guidance.
The new location is situated between the entrances to India Street and Carpenter Street as well as the Kuching Waterfront, making it easily accessible to visitors seeking information.
The VIC is also scenically located on a significant heritage site, with the complex’s main building, the Old Courthouse, which dates back to 1871 when it was the seat of the state government.
The building still retains its original ‘belian’ (ironwood) roofs, the colonial Clock Tower and Charles Brooke Memorial.
VIC operates daily from 9am to 6pm – except on public holidays.
