Project: Rain forest tourism in Brunei


Temburong's rain forest tourism potential explored

One of our new members of academic staff, Dr. Debra Enzenbacher, a Human Geographer, has undertaken some initial tourism research in Brunei Darussalam by travelling to and within Temburong to experience a variety of rain forest tourism products offered by different local tour operators.

The tourism products range from day trips, overnight trips and extended stays of two or more nights within and/or adjacent to primary rain forest, each with their own characteristics and special features.

Once fieldwork is completed, the findings will form part of a research paper on tourism in Brunei’s primary rain forests.
