The Brunei Tourism Development Department under the Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism has launched eight unique three-day-two-night Temburong Holiday packages. These packages were developed through a joint collaboration by the Tourism Development Department with the Temburong District Office and Temburong tour operators.

At the launch ceremony the Brunei Minister of Primary Resources and Tourism, Dato Seri Setia Awg Hj Ali bin Hj Apong, urged all tourism stakeholders; travel agents, airlines, accommodation providers and also local communities to step up and work together in building up Temburong and other local tourism destinations in general as a preferred holiday destination. 

The Ministry is very keen to make the Temburong District as a premier tourist destination in the region and in the international arena. This is in line with the Tourism Development Department goal’s to strengthen the country's three primary products that includes Temburong, Kampong Ayer and Bandar Seri Begawan. It is hoped that this campaign will encourage Bruneians as well as foreign visitors to holiday at local destinations. 

The Temburong holiday packages feature exciting accommodation options catered to honeymooners such as staying overnight at the luxurious Ulu-Ulu Resort, the adventure-filled rainforest lodge for families or enjoying a glamping (glamorous camping) experience with friends along the river banks of Temburong.

The Temburong holiday packages also include a selection of adventure activities such as kayaking, flying fox, jungle trekking and many others; as well as cultural activities such as a visit to the traditional longhouse whereby visitors will get the chance to meet and greet the ‘Tuai Rumah’ and experiencing the true hospitality of the Iban culture.
