Business
travellers to Brunei will find that
the nation’s expanding conference,
convention and exhibition venues, a
far-ranging spectrum of leisure activities,
and a growing number of luxury and business
class hotels make Brunei a perfect choice
for MICE tourism. In fact, Brunei has
played host to such high-profile events
as APEC meetings, the ASEAN Tourism
Forum, and the South East Asian Games,
as well as a number of smaller business
conferences and meetings.
Brunei’s capital city, Bandar
Seri Begawan, voted 7th Most Liveable
City in Asia in 2000, is an orderly,
hassle-free city with a great deal to
offer potential MICE travellers. The
city's green, traffic-free surroundings
are serene and relaxing, and its quiet
beauty makes it a city that is especially
conducive for productive business meetings
and conventions.
The largest meeting venue in Brunei,
the International Convention
Centre (I.C.C.), has greatly
enhanced the country’s capabilities
in terms of hosting high-profile events.
Since its completion, it has hosted
recent ASEAN Ministers Meetings, the
2000 Asia-Pacific Economic Conference
(APEC) and 2001 ASEAN Tourism Forum
(ATF). Its state-of-the-art-technology
makes it an excellent venue for large-scale
events, and its well-equipped range
of exhibition halls and meeting rooms
ensure that it can meet the needs of
a wide spectrum of MICE activities.
The 20-hectacre complex is strategically
located minutes from Bandar Seri Begawan
International Airport, within walking
distance to Bolkiah National Stadium,
and a mere five-minute drive from Bandar
Seri Begawan 's commercial centre.

and advanced facilities in the region, making
it an ideal and user-friendly setting for
meetings, conferences and exhibitions. Location
itself, a few minutes from the bustle of the
capital’s urban centre, makes the hotel

events.
