THE Tourism Development Department under the Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism (MPRT) yesterday officially appointed the Centre for Strategic and Policy Studies (CSPS) to carry out a study on ‘Updating The Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) and Passenger Exit Survey For Brunei Darussalam’ following the signing of a service agreement.

The survey, which will commence in December, will involve tourists at the Brunei International Airport as well as several immigration checkpoints around the country.

Signing the service agreement on behalf of the Tourism Development Department was Haji Mohd Zamree bin Haji Junaidi, the Director of Tourism Development under the MPRT, while CSPS was represented by Haji Mohd Rozan bin Dato Paduka Haji Mohd Yunos, Executive Director of CSPS.

Present as guest of honour and to witness the signing was Wardi bin Haji Mohammad Ali, Deputy Permanent Secretary (Tourism) at the Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism.

The principal consultants for the five-month national study are CSPS researchers, Dr Diana Cheong, Dr Giuseppe Rizzo and Liew Chee Hau.

The study has three main objectives, namely to collect, analyse and update the data required to compile the Tourism Satellite Accounts for Brunei Darussalam and its contribution to GDP; to assess the attitudes and preferences of a sample of tourists coming to Brunei as well as their level of satisfaction with the infrastructures and services available; and to identify patterns and correlations between preferences, behaviours, and background characteristics of the sample of tourists.

“This study will provide benchmark data for the Tourism Development Department to plan and formulate more effective strategies to attract more tourist arrivals in Brunei Darussalam. This will be invaluable as tourism is targeted as one of the sectors which can contribute to the GDP growth of the country,” said Haji Mohd Zamree.

CSPS is a provider of survey services, data mining and analysis “in all areas of national development, including tourism for Brunei”, Dr Diana said. “Our data expertise ranges from secondary sources such as official statistics and relevant literature, to collecting primary data when such data does not exist. We have conducted a number of national level surveys including statistically representative samples for both local and overseas clients such as RTI USA, World Bank and Asean.”

On my recent blog on Brunei's Time Line , one commentator got carried away and she started to talk about events in the past before moving on to nicknames. I enjoyed what she wrote and I offered for her to write a whole blog about it and I will put it up. But up to now, I have not received anything from her. So, Hajah Yati, if you are reading, my offer still stands.

You can set up your own blogsite once you feel comfortable. As someone later on commented, it will be nice to read someone else's blogs too on this website.

I remembered when I was at school (primary), I have fri

Pulau Cermin - Brunei's Historic Island

Since I was already on the water visiting the Jong Batu at one end of the Brunei River, I thought I might as well go to the other end and visit the other historical site of Brunei, Pulau Cermin. Pulau Cermin as many Brunei historians know it is the site of the temporary palace of Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin, the 13th Sultan of Brunei and is the site of the only civil war in Brunei History. Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin took the throne after assasinating Sultan Muhammad Ali. It was quite a bloody time in Brunei history and I remembered one classic book written by Yura Halim entitled "Mahkota Berdarah" regarding the episode. Pulau Cermin - view from the River In a nutshell, Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin was the Bendahara when his son was killed by the son of Sultan Muhammad Ali. He requested that his son's death be avenged but Sultan Muhammad Ali denied him. So Bendahara Abdul Mubin went amok killing a few people at the palace and with his followers took the Sultan and killed him (No
