Bunga 2026, Malaysia’s highest flower exhibition, has officially opened at Awana Village, Resorts World Awana in Genting Highlands, transforming the venue into an international floral paradise of orchids, botanical artistry and nature-inspired experiences.
Running from June 3 to 7, 2026, the event brings together leading orchid societies, growers, hybridisers and collectors from across Asia in a vibrant showcase, highlighting the region’s massive botanical biodiversity.
The 5-day features Asia’s finest orchid displays, rare collector hybrids, immersive floral landscapes, interactive educational workshops, an artisan marketplace and rare hybrid competitions.
Speaking at the launch, Resorts World Genting (RWG) sales, marketing and public relations executive vice-president Spencer Lee said Bunga 2026 marks a key milestone in establishing Malaysia as a premier destination for botanical tourism, orchid appreciation and regional horticultural exchange.
“Bunga 2026 is more than a floral exhibition. It is a celebration of creativity, culture, conservation and the shared passion for orchids that connects communities across Asia.
“This vision reflects our continued commitment at Resorts World Genting to develop nature-led experiences that go beyond entertainment and contribute to more sustainable forms of tourism,” he said.
He added that Resorts World Genting has continued to expand its eco-tourism offerings through initiatives such as Eufloria Gardens & Sculpture Park and Genting Nature Adventures, which encourage visitors to engage more meaningfully with biodiversity, conservation and the natural environment.
Bunga 2026 acts as the premier opening chapter of a floral series culminating in the 2026 Asia Pacific Orchid Conference (APOC), set to take place at Resorts World Genting from March 17 to 26, 2028 March 2028.
