Australian travel agents impressed after Brunei trip

By P. Marilyn

Royal Brunei Airlines, as part of its initiatives to promote the country's flag carrier, invited a group of travel agents from Down Under to obtain first-hand experience of what the country has to offer.

Representatives from eight travel agents from Sydney, Australia accompanied by staff from RBA Sydney made a two-day visit to the Brunei over the weekend.

The group visited the famous Water Village or better known as "Kampung Ayer", went on a tour of the city, crafts market, night market, the Royal Regalia building, shopping malls as well as did an inspection of the hotels available here.

Mr. David Vis, Sales Executive for New South Wales, Royal Brunei Airlines, Sydney, told the Bulletin that the purpose of the visit was to encourage agents to use RBA to travel. The travel agents represented major travel chains in Australia and they were amazed at what Brunei has to offer, believing there is good value for food and accommodation here.

The group stayed at the Empire Hotel and Country Club where they had the opportunity to experience the first-class service provided at the hotel.
