The survey was conducted at last year’s RWMF by 22 enumerators and three supervisors. More than 1,200 festival-goers responded to the survey over the three days at the event.
The survey was endorsed by the Ministry of Tourism and the Sarawak Tourism Board.

While it is based on survey findings, the 110-page book was not written academically but more for leisure reading with plenty of photographs.
“With those rich statistical findings, it was decided that, with so much information on the event, it would be ideal for weaving them into a story type book while capturing the essence of the RWMF’s 15-year journey,” said Gracie.
The book could also be used as a resource material, especially for Event Management students. A total of 500 books will be distributed to universities worldwide.
