The prestigious five-star resort’s inaugural participation at this event proved a resounding success, with responses and recognition from the principal travel agents from across the cities delighting the Brunei-based property’s delegation.
“We are keen to introduce this magnificent five-star property to the GCC market as we truly believe that it marries perfectly with the discerning tastes and travel habits of the high-end traveller from this region. It was the first time for us to actively engage with the agents directly in Qatar and Saudi Arabia in their own markets and the opportunity proved extremely positive and fruitful,” commented Nitaya Pirinyuang, sales manager, The Empire Hotel & Country Club.
Nestled in the heart of Brunei – a land of pristine nature – The Empire Hotel & Country Club is rich in ancient Royal heritage and steeped in authentic Islamic culture and traditions, thereby providing a paradisiacal escape, where guests can invigorate and rejuvenate in a world of absolute privacy, luxury and safety.
“We were delighted with the high levels of interest and recognition received at the event, especially for family, MICE and honeymoon travel and are confident that our upcoming Ramadan and Eid promotions will leverage our position in the hearts and minds of the GCC traveller,” she concluded.
Set within its own private 180-hectare estate of manicured gardens, The Empire Hotel & Country Club embraces more than 500 luxuriously appointed rooms, suites and private villas, all with large marble bathrooms, balconies and breathtaking views. The exclusive E-Club, with full concierge facilities is available, along with many well-equipped meeting and function spaces that cater for a wide range of events.

Recreational facilities are equally outstanding, with golf playing an essential role in its leisure offerings. In
testament to this, The Empire Hotel & Country Club’s Empire Golf Course – home to one of Asia-Pacific’s finest golfing experiences – has been selected to play host to the 2012 Asia pacific Golf Summit, scheduled to take place in December.
Frequently home to royal and state visitors from across the world, the facilities and service are sharply tuned to the needs and desires of the most discerning of guests. A jewel in Brunei’s crown, this stunning resort provides a unique and tropical experience that is truly fit for a king.
