About Us

Who Are We?
We are a division of Perbadanan Labuan, the official development agency of Labuan. We are known as the tourism and Culture division. It was set up in 1997. Its objective was to facilitate the development of tourism in Labuan to its full potential.

Our parent body, Perbadanan Labuan was constituted by an act of Parliament. It is under the purview of the Minister of Finance Malaysia.

Perbadanan Labuan is charged with the task to develop Labuan in tandem with national aspirations and outlook. Its functions include the provision of physical infrastructure, tourism development, socio-economic advancement and the promotion of industry on the island. The status of Labuan as a federal territory of Malaysia further facilitates this pursuit. The island continues to receive priority funding from the federal government to carry out all planned tourism projects.

Our Mission
Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad aspires to transform Labuan into the world's most beautiful island. His vision has since been communicated as the mission statement for our division.
