Travel Agents From UK Still On FAM Trip To KK
By Sonia K & Huraizah Ahmad

Bandar Seri Begawan - Nine travel agents from the United Kingdom departed for Kota Kinabalu last night to continue their familiarisation (FAM) trip.

The trip started in Brunei as its first destination followed by Kota Kinabalu.

The agents were joined by Mr Lee Barker, a Royal Brunei Airlines' London staff.

The objectives of the FAM trip are for the travel agents to get to know the advantages of RBA as an airline and to promote Kota Kinabalu as a holiday and stopover destination. The agents arrived in Brunei for a two-day visit on Sunday.

During their stay, they visited Jerudong Park Playground and Garden, followed by a day tour to Ulu Temburong National Park.

Besides that, the group also went on a city tour as well as exploring Kampong Ayer. They also attended a product briefing by the Brunei Tourism.

Sheraton Utama Hotel in the capital hosted the FAM trip for the travel agents.

Last year alone, a record 100 foreign print and electronic journalists along with 215 travel agents and tour operators participated in the FAM trips to the Sultanate.

The FAM trip has clearly played a part in showcasing the nation as one of the great destinations in Asia as well as portraying its recent new tag line of `The Green Heart of Borneo, Brunei - A Kingdom of Unexpected Treasures' in attracting prospective travellers to explore the natural, cultural and heritage aspects of the country. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
