LABUAN, Aug 18 (Bernama) -- Palm Beach Resort & Spa in Labuan and Sabah government-owned Asian Supply Base Sdn Bhd (ASB) have formalised a strategic collaboration aimed at strengthening hospitality and logistical support for Labuan's oil and gas (O&G) industry.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU), sighted by Bernama, was signed by representatives from both organisations during a ceremony held at Palm Beach Resort & Spa here today.
Under the partnership, Palm Beach Resort & Spa will offer special corporate accommodation rates and selected privileges to ASB employees and crew while also providing opportunities for joint promotional activities and engagement between the two organisations.
ASB’s employees will also be entitled to selected recreational privileges at the resort, including water sports activities and access to other resort facilities.
The collaboration is designed to support the accommodation, logistical and welfare requirements of personnel and crew involved in ASB's operations and the wider O&G industry in Labuan.
Through the partnership, Palm Beach Resort & Spa will become part of the hospitality and logistics support ecosystem serving ASB and its related O&G activities by providing convenient accommodation and selected facilities to facilitate crew movements and operational requirements.
The initiative also reflects efforts to strengthen linkages between Labuan's hospitality sector and the operational needs of the O&G industry while creating greater efficiency and value for participating companies and their personnel.
Palm Beach Resort & Spa said it looked forward to working closely with ASB in supporting the industry's requirements while further strengthening the resort's position as one of Labuan's preferred hospitality and leisure destinations.
