About Us

MegaBorneo Tour Planner is owned and operated by Ai Lee Tan, born and bred in Brunei, and Khirul Zainie, who is a Sarawakian from Miri.

It is our greatest wish to share with you, the intrepid and independent traveller, the beauty and sometimes hidden magic of Kuching. Together we have over 30 years experience in the global travel industry and now we bring our international experience to a local level, having created a specialised company that believes in, promotes and carries out sustainable tourism practices for the preservation of our local culture and natural heritage. It is our joy to show you the different ethnic cultural heritage of this destination whilst being treated to the splendour of our natural environment.

MEGABORNEO TOUR PLANNER AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

We know that travellers who come to our company are looking for best practices in relation to sustainable tourism. It is the reason we started our own company, because it is our firm belief that the only way forward for global tourism is through sustainable tourism practices. We believe that tourism and travel can create a better understanding and mutual respect amongst people from different geographical and cultural backgrounds.

We strongly believe that tourism must be able to contribute to the economy of the local community where we operate and at the same time contribute positively in the preservation of the cultural heritage of that local community and the conservation of the natural resources. The activities or products we use and promote must also be able to educate both the local community and the international visitors on the importance of preserving our local cultural heritage and natural resources in order to ensure sustainability of the whole tourism industry.

We are very proud to be associated with WHL as the MPO in Miri Mulu, Brunei, Kuching, and Kuala Lumpur. WHL's strong commitment to sustainable tourism and their acknowledgement of the importance of being local really go hand in hand with our company's mission.

We take care to uphold our authentic local approach and all of our key family team members operating in our destinations. Our team members in Kuala Lumpur and other parts of West Malaysia are also locals. All of them are seasoned hospitality practitioners with more than 20 years of travel industry exposure at an international level. Some are pioneers in developing sustainable inbound tourism in their own areas.

Together, we combine our individual strengths and knowledge to offer a unique authentic local experience to all international visitors to our destination. The company provides a 24 hour helpline in English, Mandarin, Japanese, Thai, Farsi and Arabic for the convenience of all our valued clients from overseas.

WE REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING AND SHARING OUR DESTINATION WITH YOU!

Every traveller knows that the most magical moments occur when you experience a unique connection with a local. Local people possess secrets about their country that no outsider could ever discover on their own. We know this from our own travels. When we began our company in 2001 it was this understanding that motivated us, and still inspires us to create the most unique experience for you combined with a complete and quality travel service, all within the philosophy of sustainable tourism practices.
