Tourist arrivals in Brunei Darussalam have been showing a steady increase since the easing of travel restrictions and re-opening of land borders.
Hospitality and tourism service providers are seeing an increase in bookings and visits from foreign tourists, a sign that the tourism industry is returning to pre-pandemic levels.
Fifteen leading hotels in the Sultanate reported a hike in room bookings, from 8,271 to 12,406 – or a 50-per-cent increase – from August to September this year.
A similar upward trend is expected for air travels.
Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Royal Brunei Airlines (RB) Captain Sabirin bin Haji Abdul Hamid said, “As the national carrier, supporting Brunei tourism is among RB’s top commitments. The increase in RB’s flight frequencies and resumptions of flights in the coming months will boost the number of travellers coming into Brunei.
