THE Brunei Travel Fair 2019 made a new record in the number of visitors this year, compared to the 13,000 last year.

According to Sabre Travel Network Senior Sales and Marketing Manager Abdul Halim bin Haji Abdul Rahman, minutes before the fair ended, the number of visitors had reached 16,200 (a 20 per cent increase).

“This is a very encouraging response from the public. We also received good feedback from exhibitors who were happy with the crowd who visited the two-day fair,” he added.

The fair provided unique deals to travellers in dream vacations, and was an opportunity for visitors to know what packages and promotions were available in the country.

Apart from local travel agents, medical and insurances services as well as tourism establishments from Thailand and Malaysia also participated in the annual travel fair.
