BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Members of the public, planning to head to Malaysia for a much needed vacation, can visit the Malaysia Week 2025 taking place at the Atrium of The Mall, Gadong which was officially launched Saturday (Oct 18) by High Commissioner of Malaysia to Brunei Datuk Mohd Aini Atan, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Royal Brunei Airlines Badarudin Bagol and Director of Tourism Malaysia Brunei Hazrina Azman.
The two-day event hosted by Tourism Malaysia celebrates Malaysia’s commitment to promote its diverse destinations and strengthen partnerships with Brunei’s travel industry, marking a key milestone in the lead up to Visit Malaysia Year 2026.
Eleven exhibitors representing the states of Selangor, Sarawak and Labuan alongside agents from Brunei are participating in the strategic platform to showcase Malaysia’s rich tapestry of tourism experience from adventure, culture to wellness and lifestyle.
The exhibitors are offering exclusive travel deals and special discounts on airfares, hotel stays and holiday packages.
There are also interactive activities, children’s games and daily lucky draws with attractive prizes.
“The Brunei market has consistently ranked among Malaysia’s top source markets in Asean, alongside Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand," stressed Hazrina. "From January to August 2025, Malaysia has welcomed over one million visitor arrivals from Brunei, underscoring the country’s continued popularity as a favoured holiday destination for Bruneian travelers.”
Datuk Mohd Aini Atan described the achievement of Brunei ranking among Malaysia’s top source markets for tourism arrivals as a testament to the strong trust, confidence and fondness that Bruneian travellers have for Malaysia.
The mascots for the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign, two Malayan sun bears named Wira and Manja, also made a special appearance at the event. - Borneo Bulletin/ANN
