BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): “Food can be a major driver for visitors when choosing a destination; hence gastronomy tourism has evolved to encompass activities beyond the plate, ” said Minister of Primary Resources and Tourism Dato Seri Setia Awang Ali Apong at the launching of Brunei Gastronomy Week (BGW) 2021 on Wednesday (Feb 17).
“This includes attending food events and festivals, visiting local markets, taking cooking classes, going on food tours, and learning about the production of food by visiting farms and producers, ” he added.
The minister urged all tourism service providers “to look beyond providing just a normal package tour; and look into more experiential, community based or ecotourism initiatives, as well as sustainable tours, to make the tourism offering more attractive for both domestic and international visitors”.
