"We are very excited with our plans to further develop tourism and these include lobbying with Brunei Tourism Development and Royal Brunei Airlines on an extra flight from Kota Kinabalu, encouraging the development of careers within the hospitality industry among the youth in Brunei and the setting up of a kiosk at Brunei International Airport in order for guests to communicate directly with hotels of their choice upon arrival," he added
In a press statement following the appointment of the association's new Executive Committee on Tuesday, BAH announced that Mohammad Irwan Goh, General Manager of the Rizqun International Hotel was elected its new president with Pengiran Dato Hj Jaludin Pengiran Mohd Limbang, Owner of Nazira Guesthouse, appointed as vice-president.
