Brunei as a popular tourist destination. Is it possible?

Ofcourse it is possible. Only if Brunei make an efforts to be one. Brunei has the potential to be one of the tourist destination. If kota kinabalu can be one of the most popular tourist destination, why not Brunei?
Brunei located in borneo which lies on the equator. Brunei experiemce equatorial climate just like Sabah. We have beautiful green rainforest, exotic plants and animals.

Kampong Ayer is perhaps the most startling facet of Bandar Seri Begawan.
An extensive village built on stilts over the Brunei River, it has no equivalent anywhere else in the world. Though stilted fishing villages are common along the coast of Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia, there is nothing that comes close to the vast scale or history of Kampong Ayer (literally it translates as "Water Village"). The residents commute to work in an armada of water taxis which criss-cross the river like brightly-coloured dragonflies leaving the surface of the water permanently ruffled in daylight hours.

In the past, Kampong Ayer was the centre of Brunei Darussalam's arts and crafts industry and, though this is no longer the case, there are still a few places where the traditions persist

Brunei also have many other interesting places and historical places. A beautiful beaches. where local come on sunday with family, watching scenery and fishing.

Altough Brunei is a small country which only have 4 district, but each of this districts have their own speciality. And its own unique. For example in Belait, we have Sungai Liang Forest Reserve. where Most of the trees are indigenous but as the park is also an arboretum so some exotic species have also been planted. Oil and gas which is our source of incomw also found in Belait District.
But why until now Brunei are not as popular as Sabah as tourist destination? Probably because we dont advertise more how unique Brunei are internationally.And We dont make an efforts to make our country as tourist destination.
