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.
