Tourists to Brunei should not only enjoy the sights but should also take away the tastes and aroma of the place. So said Brunei's tourism chief Sheikh Jamaluddin after declaring open the Yayasan Complex Food Festival 2007 yesterday.
The guest of honour said such a festival, which he fully supported, was a big step forward in promoting Brunei to visitors and an excellent example of local entrepreneurship.
He also thanked the Municipal Board and the Home Affairs Ministry in granting permission.
He said tourism has many faces and the local cuisine was one.
Amy Santos, Operations Manager, Archmedia Advertising, the organisers, said the support from the local food industry was most encouraging.
More than 30 vendors are participating, many selling fashion items. A large enthusiastic crowd attended the opening where prizes were also won.
The 10-day-event will include the Orphans' Day on April 15 when Music Expression students will perform for the delight of the shoppers.
