OUR JOURNEY

Amazing Borneo Tours & Events Sdn. Bhd. started its operation in May 2009 by our founder Kenji Yeo in response to the growing tourism industry and the need to provide information and resources to the country to promote Sabah tourism to the rest of the world. The passion for ecotourism in promoting responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people further prompted the setup of Amazing Borneo Tours.

Shortly in June 2009, we expanded our company portfolio by setting up an overseas licensed sales office in Singapore - Amazing Borneo Travel & Events, supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, and further increased our staff strength. The sales office in Singapore serves Travel Agencies, Corporates, Organizations, Schools, Singaporeans and International expatriates located in Singapore. The headquarter of Amazing Borneo Tours is located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, East Malaysia.

Amazing Borneo Tours employees, partners in our success, make our mission statement come alive in the way they work with every guest. Our guests have responded tremendously. Their support has enabled Amazing Borneo Tours to extend our tour business nationwide. With the entire staff of Amazing Borneo Tours participating in making our vision of distinctive quality and unparalleled guest service real, we are headed for even greater success.

LIFE AT AMAZING BORNEO

At Amazing Borneo, it's not just a job, it's a lifestyle! We believe success comes from the fine balance between two opposing forces, work & play, and life in Amazing Borneo is just that. Achieving that balance and cultivating the energetic environment is what enables us, the Amazing Team, to realize our talents and materialize dreams. It's a mutually rewarding experience. We see each other in the office, in the outdoors, and sometimes on the dance-floor too. And we love to admit that we pretty much have an all-star cast filled with talents... Badminton and soccer champs, singers and even dancers.

We value teamwork as we believe it takes every single individual to pull everything together. Building the right team and maintaining the bond helps achieve mutual long-term goals. We put a lot of effort in having engaging team bonding activities frequently. We love getaways, be it luxurious or exotic, like eating live sago worms while we jungle trek. We love getting all glammed up for bizarre themed-parties too. Kayak expeditions, pitching up tents in the rain, adventure lurks in every corner and we are not afraid to explore.




As much as we love the outdoors, we try to bring the fun inside too. We keep fit at our indoor gym facilities, we unwind and relax at the "Zen room"... and when we feel the need to replenish creativity or simply have a caffeine fix, we pay a visit to the high tech espresso machine at our very own cafe.

While we have our light-hearted moments, we also know when to buckle up and get serious about how things are done, to ensure a smooth and memorable travelling experience for our guests. We aim to bring out the best in our people by investing time and money to nurture talents, welcome unconventional ideas, and acknowledge the aptitude of each team player.
