Many still think of Damai as just a beautiful beach… but things are about to change. By 2028, large international cruise ships are set to dock directly at Damai, putting Kuching on the regional and global cruise map.
Here’s what this means:
• Thousands of visitors arriving in a single stop
• More high-spending tourists
• Kuching positioned as a key cruise gateway, not just a secondary stop
But it’s not just about the terminal.
👉 All access to Damai funnels through Buntal and Samariang — a crucial gateway corridor. This chokepoint is where movement concentrates and value is created.
And here’s a key piece of infrastructure often overlooked:
🚧 A new road connecting Buntal to Kampung Bako, slated for completion by 2027, will:
• Improve coastal connectivity
• Enhance circulation between major tourism spots
• Transform Buntal from a pass-through area into a strategic connector
Most people focus on the headline project — the terminal itself. But smart planning looks at the entire network that feeds it.
🌏 Kuching’s cruise future is about more than a destination—it’s about connectivity, strategy, and opportunity.
