The number of Bruneian travelers visiting Malaysia last year surged by 169 per cent, with a total of 811,833 Brunei tourists recorded, compared to 301,757 in the previous year. This significant increase reflects the growing appeal of Malaysia as a destination for Bruneians, not only for its diverse culture, culinary delights, and natural attractions but also as a popular honeymoon destination.
In a move that is expected to further enhance economic cooperation between the two nations, the Sarawak Trade and Tourism Board (STATOB) will begin operations in Brunei in the fourth quarter of this year, focusing on boosting trade and tourism.
These insights were shared by Chargé d’Affaires at the Malaysian High Commission in Bandar Seri Begawan Mrs Nur Ezira Mahadi, during a dinner commemorating the 40th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam. The event, held at the Royal Berkshire Hall, Tarindak D’Polo, Jerudong last Sunday, was hosted by the Malaysian High Commission in conjunction with the working visit of Malaysia’s Foreign Minister to Brunei for the 25th Meeting of the Implementation of the Exchange of Letters between the two countries.
