Physically, Bintulu over the years has changed
a lot. The new Bintulu is a premier, well-planned and environmentally attractive
industrial town developed by the Bintulu Developement
Authority. Bintulu has a diverse cultural and religious background from a population
of over 100,000 covering an area of about 12,500 square kilometers. Natural and luxuriant
tropical rainforest is well conserved and preserved despite being a booming industrial
centre brought about by the implementation of mammoth and multibillion ringgit industrial
projects.
Above all, being a town geographically
situated half way between Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, Bintulu is a central gateway to
tourist spots like Bakun Resort, Niah Cave, Mulu National Park, Longan Bunut National
Park, Lambir National Park, Sibuti Wildlife Sanctuary, Rejang Pelagus, Belaga and the
Bario Highland.
Furthurmore, Bintulu is easily accessible by
air and road. The completion of the Pan-Borneo Highway has connected Bintulu by road to
all major towns and places of interest in Sarawak. Soon, Bintulu will have its new airport
which can accomodate Boeing 737 aircrafts and more tourists.
