Year of the Tiger looks to be off to an impressive start for Brunei's tourism industry as tour agencies and hotels report rapid sales.
High occupancy levels are also expected with visitors coming in from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan during the Chinese New Year.
Brunei Tourism Development Department told The Brunei Times that the Chinese New Year would mark the start of streams of tourists coming to Brunei over the next few months, especially during public holidays and major celebrations such as His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam's birthday in July.
