Brunei Woos Japanese Travel Agents
By Azlan Othman

Bandar Seri Begawan - To mark the 20th anniversary of BruneiJapan relations, the Tourism Development Division of the Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources and other relevant agencies will be conducting a familiarisation tour of Brunei for Japanese travel agents from 18-22 July 2004.

This tour is made possible by the continuous efforts of both countries to tap into the potential market of the booming tourism industry, with air tickets courtesy of RBA.

The familiarisation tour will give the Japanese travel agents a chance to realise the vast potential of Brunei as an exciting holiday destination. This will enable them to put together a varied package tour, be it family or adventure oriented, to cater to the different tastes of potential Japanese travellers to the country.

The 11-member delegation will consist of various travel agents such as Tokyo Tourist Corporation, All Nippon Travel Agents Association, JTB Corp, El Orto Co Ltd, Nagoya International Service, Kinki Nippon Tourist Co Ltd, Nippon Travel Agency Co Ltd and Japan Association of Travel Agents.

Among the tours on the fully packed five-day trip are a full-day city tour, proboscis monkey tour, Labi Long House, Wasai Wong Kadir waterfall, Ulu Temburong National Park and many more. The agents will get the chance to sample the local culture, cuisine, history and natural scenery along the way.

With the exchange of travel agents between Brunei and Japan, it is hoped that there will be an increase in the number of travellers to both countries. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
