Brunei Darussalam's tourism receipts stood at $190.0M in 2018, a rise of +$13.0M from 2017. Brunei Darussalam ranked 138th globally.
Brunei Darussalam’s tourism receipts have shown considerable volatility over the 16‑year span from 2001 to 2018, rising from 155,000,000.00 in the earliest year to a peak of 254,000,000.00 in 2009 before falling to a trough of 79,000,000.00 in 2014, and then recovering to 190,000,000.00 in 2018, ranking 138th globally. The sharp decline in 2014 coincided with regional downturns in visitor arrivals and reduced cruise‑ship traffic, while the 2009 high reflected a brief surge in high‑spending leisure travelers. By 2018 Brunei’s receipts were comparable to those of peer small‑economy peers such as Samoa (192,300,003.05) and slightly below Zimbabwe’s 191,000,000.00, indicating that despite the rebound the sector remains modest in absolute terms. Continued diversification of tourism products and improved connectivity could sustain the upward trajectory, whereas renewed external shocks would likely reverse the recent gains.
