SANTUBONG, 8 FEBRUARY, 2012: The Sarawak Cultural Village (KBS) here is offering a special homestay package at Rumah Bidayuh from May 18 to June 23, this year.

   
Sarawak Tourism Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said the package was in line with the aim of introducing the culture of the Dayaks in Sarawak specifically the Bidayuh during the Dayak Gawai Day celebration every June 1.
