LABUAN: Labuan Corporation (LC) handed over the management of the Homestay Activity Centre (HAC) at Kampung Patau-Patau Dua to the Labuan Homestay Operators Association (LHOA) yesterday.

Its chief executive officer, Dato’ Mohd Nadzri Osman said that the HAC was set up at the village to help villagers improve their socio-economy and standard of living through tourism activities.

“There are around 10 registered homestay operators here where the Tourism and Culture Ministry has allocated some RM653,000 for the HAC infrustructure development here in Kampung Patau-Patau Dua,” he said.

Kampung Patau-Patau Dua is a water village and most of its villagers are Bruneians who are ready to welcome visitors.

The cradle of the village began in the 1930s but was destroyed by Japanese bombs during World War II, after which villagers rebuilt the village during the post war where the home structures and concepts are closely related with their cultures in Brunei.

In this modern era, the village is equipped with facilities including electricity, communication, waste management system, streetlights, water taxi, school, surau and many more.

Each family in the village has at least one boat for their means of transportation.

The village can be reached either by sea or road from the nearby Labuan town, and it is located near the Rancha Rancha Industrial Area where the oil and gas industry is growing rapidly.

Also present were the deputy president of LHOA, Madzan Hj. Yunus and the director of LC Arts, Culture and Tourism Department, Mahathir Abdul Hamid.
