During the closing ceremony of Brunei-China Year of Tourism 2020 held virtually on Monday, the minister said in pre-recorded remarks that as the two countries embarked on the “new normal”, tourism activities were organised via online platforms, including a virtual training programme held in November 2020 for Brunei’s local tour guides and tourism professionals to further improve their Chinese and communication skills.
