On the 26th October 2004, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Transworld Institute of Technology and Sukau Ecotourism Research and Development Centre to facilitate the exchange of technology, collaboration and research and development of ecotourism.
Mr Albert Teo, Director of SERDC signed this historic agreement with Dr Lin, Ming Fung Ph.D. President of Transworld Institute of Technology.
Other objectives of the MOU include facilitating the exchange of administrative and professional personnel, students and employees, and collaborating on academic meetings. It is hoped that through the provisions of this MOU the capability of these two organisations to effectively research and develop ecotourism principles will be greatly enhanced.
