Brunei To Be Featured On BBC In 2007

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Empire Hotel and Country Club recently hosted the stay for the crew of the BBC Holiday Programme from the United Kingdom.

The crew was in the Sultanate from October 23 - 29 to film Brunei and all that the country has to offer.

The highlight of their trip was a visit to the palace to pay respect and to offer festive greetings to His Majesty and members of the royal family.

The trip was organised by Brunei Tourism and was supported by Royal Brunei Airlines and Sunshine Borneo Tours.

The Brunei episode of the BBC Holiday Programme is expected to be shown sometime in 2007. In 2007, BBC Holiday Programme will celebrate its 38th anniversary as the United Kingdom's longest running travel show.

As the BBC's flagship travel programme, Holiday attracts a regular audience of over four million viewers each week.

The Brunei episode will be presented by renowned presenter Saba Douglas-Hamilton. During their stay in Brunei, the crew took in fantastic footage ofthe rainforest, Kampong Ayer, the Proboscis monkeys, mosques and several other fascinating Brunei attractions. It was the crews' first visit to the Sultanate and they were delighted with everything Brunei has to offer.

With daily flights by Royal Brunei Airlines to London, the Empire Hotel & Country Club hopes that through initiatives such as these, more guests from the United Kingdom will choose to visit Brunei for a holiday. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
