Chinese Tourists Come In Big Numbers
By James Ken

Bandar Seri Begawan - In a span of six days beginning yesterday, some 406 tourists from the People's Republic of China will be arriving in Brunei Darussalam.

The first of three batches of tourists numbering 156 people from Guangzhou, China were welcomed by the sounds of hadrah, gulingtangan last night at the Brunei International Airport.

Present at the airport was Awang Nordin Ahmad, Acting Assistant Director of Brunei Tourism.

The Chinese tourist influx can be attributed to the marketing and promotion efforts made by Brunei Tourism in a road show held in Nanning, Kunming and Chong Qing in China last November.

The special chartered flights that carry the Chinese tourists to Brunei are handled by PJ Majestic Tours. During the three-day, two-night stay, the tourists will be visiting the water village, Jame' Asr Mosque, Royal Regalia, Istana Nurul Iman and Jerudong Park.

The next flight carrying 150 Chinese tourists from Shanghai to Brunei's capital will be arriving Sunday afternoon while the final batch of 100 tourists will be touching down Monday evening. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
