BRUNEI: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) estimates that the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak could cause a decline in tourism revenue for Brunei Darussalam by as much as -0.086% of gross domestic product (GDP) in the best case scenario (US$11.7mil), -0.113% in the moderate case (US$15.3mil) and -0.192 per cent in the worst case (US$26.1mil).
