0:00:02 > 0:00:05Rumah panjai, or longhouses, have been home to the Iban tribe for centuries.

0:00:05 > 0:00:09But how does my family feel about them becoming a tourist attraction?

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Coming up on the programme this week...

0:00:35 > 0:00:38I take a trip down memory lane in Borneo to ask my family

0:00:38 > 0:00:43about how they feel about sharing their lifestyles with tourists,

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Christa reports on the growing bar wars between Melbourne

0:00:46 > 0:00:49and Sydney finding out where the hippest drinkers hang out...

0:00:51 > 0:00:53..we hear the tale of the tourist

0:00:53 > 0:00:55who uncovered a shrewd scam in Barcelona...

0:00:56 > 0:01:01..and we head to Estonia to join a folk song face-off Baltic style.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hello and welcome to The Travel Show with me, Henry Golding.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12This week, I'm in the island of Borneo in Malaysia.

0:01:12 > 0:01:17It's renowned for its rainforest, wildlife and stunning coastal lines,

0:01:17 > 0:01:20and it's also a home to many indigenous tribes

0:01:20 > 0:01:21and for tourists visiting,

0:01:21 > 0:01:24sometimes those tribes are just a photo opportunity.

0:01:24 > 0:01:29But, really, is your holiday helping preserve their way of life,

0:01:29 > 0:01:31or are you threatening it?

0:01:31 > 0:01:32I've come back

0:01:32 > 0:01:34to my roots to find out.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42There are more than 370 million indigenous peoples

0:01:42 > 0:01:45currently living in about 90 countries around the world.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48And a growing number of tourists want to visit them.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51But is indigenous tourism a one-sided deal

0:01:51 > 0:01:54or can it be of mutual benefit?

0:01:54 > 0:01:58I myself am from the Iban tribe here in the state of Sarawak.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00It's the largest of all the ethnic groups,

0:02:00 > 0:02:03making up 30% of the population here.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08We have our own language as well as a unique way of life.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12My family are often visited by tourists, who come here to

0:02:12 > 0:02:15experience a piece of authentic tribal living,

0:02:15 > 0:02:19and although I grew up in London, this still feels like home to me.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Hello.- Hello. Hello, hello.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28This is my uncle - a real true jungle man.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32He's going to be teaching me a thing or two about the Iban way of living.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33What are we going to do today?

0:02:44 > 0:02:47'Spending time in the jungle with my family feels very special,

0:02:47 > 0:02:48'and it's a sad fact

0:02:48 > 0:02:52'that most of the world's estimated 5,000 indigenous cultures

0:02:52 > 0:02:55'face challenges.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57'Denial of land rights, racism,

0:02:57 > 0:03:00'are issues that many of them struggle with

0:03:00 > 0:03:04'and although they make up 5% of the world's population,

0:03:04 > 0:03:07'they constitute 15% of the world's poor.'

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Try. Oh, no teeth!

0:03:14 > 0:03:16'Here in Sarawak, deforestation rates

0:03:16 > 0:03:18'are some of the highest in Asia,

0:03:18 > 0:03:20'And as the jungle habitat changes,

0:03:20 > 0:03:24'so does the Iban people's way of life.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29'But one thing that keeps the community together is food.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Wow! That one's huge!

0:03:32 > 0:03:34'A lot of the traditional Iban diet is either foraged

0:03:34 > 0:03:36'or grown right at the back yard -

0:03:36 > 0:03:40'everything from young shoots to sweet potatoes and fruit.'

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Another one as well. Endless!

0:03:42 > 0:03:45So this is the bamboo itself.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49And we're looking for the young supple bamboo,

0:03:49 > 0:03:53so something that's still very fresh

0:03:53 > 0:03:56and we don't want the old stuff because that will burn on the fire.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59We want it just to simmer and withstand that heat

0:03:59 > 0:04:01so it can cook the insides.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03It should be fine.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07'After preparing all the food and loading it into the bamboo,

0:04:07 > 0:04:09'it's time to get cooking.'

0:04:09 > 0:04:12This is my dearest mum.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- I want to teach Henry how to cook.- I know. Is this good?

0:04:15 > 0:04:18- This is the rice inside here...with the coconut.- OK, perfect.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22- So is this the way you that used to cook as a child?- Yes.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25My dad used to teach me, and my grandad as well.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29- So do you think that tourism's actually good for the Iban?- Yes.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33Because if no tourists, the generation would be dying

0:04:33 > 0:04:35to know how to cook.

0:04:35 > 0:04:41- And we need tourists to share the Iban experience of years ago.- Mm.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46'For the Iban, and many other cultures around the world,

0:04:46 > 0:04:48'indigenous tourism can be a real incentive

0:04:48 > 0:04:52'for preserving and passing on their traditions.'

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Try that.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58Wow! That's nice! I smell bamboo as well.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00'But this kind of tourism can only work

0:05:00 > 0:05:04'if it's done respectfully, with the local community in mind.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10'And an integral part of any community is its local market.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14'People come here from all over the area to buy and sell

0:05:14 > 0:05:19'everything from the ordinary to the not so ordinary.'

0:05:19 > 0:05:24A-ha! Now, these are sago worms. Look how many there are.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Usually you'll find some poor contestant on a reality show

0:05:27 > 0:05:29trying to wolf one of these down

0:05:29 > 0:05:33but here in Sarawak, for the Iban, they're a bit of a delicacy.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37They're found in rotting wood and they're packed full of protein.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43And they're not too bad. Very juicy.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48But I don't think a lot of people back home would enjoy these. But I love 'em.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Hi, Anna. How are you?

0:05:50 > 0:05:53'I leave the market to visit my cousin Anna.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56'She lives with her family in an old traditional longhouse,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59'which is a row of houses connected by one large roof

0:05:59 > 0:06:03'and a communal veranda running through the entire front.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08'Not so long ago, extended families of up to 30 people

0:06:08 > 0:06:10'would live in each of these longhouses.'

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Hello...

0:06:12 > 0:06:15'Now only Anna and her immediate family are left.'

0:06:15 > 0:06:20- This is all just broken, isn't it? - Yeah.- All rotted away.- Yeah.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21There's holes in the roof...

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Last time there are seven family members here.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Seven family members?- Mm. Five children and a mum.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Yeah. But now they've moved away? - Yeah.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36I can see people, they're more into modernisation

0:06:36 > 0:06:40so those old teachings and cultures, they're dying away.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44But I don't feel them bothering me and my family.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47I always welcome them. To me it's quite OK.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51At least they're interested in what the Iban is.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57'For me, tourism is a fantastic way to bring much-needed money

0:06:57 > 0:06:59'and attention to the Iban.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02'I know how hard life can be for many of my relatives here,

0:07:02 > 0:07:07'but we're also a fiercely proud and independent lot who won't react

0:07:07 > 0:07:12'kindly to this way of life being turned into a sideshow for tourists.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19'I hope that the Iban and other indigenous tribes

0:07:19 > 0:07:22'around the world get the balance right, and learn to

0:07:22 > 0:07:26'live alongside tourists, rather than surviving because of them.'

0:07:31 > 0:07:34And if you're thinking of visiting indigenous cultures, here's

0:07:34 > 0:07:36a few suggestions about where to go

0:07:36 > 0:07:38and how to make the best of your visit.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Always ask before taking photos,

0:07:42 > 0:07:43wherever you're visiting.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46People may feel exploited or even offended if you start

0:07:46 > 0:07:50snapping away with your camera without asking permission first.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Remember to take the time to show the locals the photos

0:07:54 > 0:07:55once you've taken them.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59If you want a souvenir, try and buy

0:07:59 > 0:08:02from local markets and vendors.

0:08:02 > 0:08:03This will help maintain jobs,

0:08:03 > 0:08:06and means your money will go directly to the community.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12And some indigenous communities offer homestays to tourists -

0:08:12 > 0:08:16the chance to stay with a local family and experience their culture.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20This is also a good way of ensuring your money goes to the community,

0:08:20 > 0:08:23but check the local customs before you arrive.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25In some places, tipping is expected,

0:08:25 > 0:08:28whereas other hosts may find that rude.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Next up, our animated adventure.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41This week's true story comes from David Allen in New York,

0:08:41 > 0:08:45who found himself uncovering a tourist scam in Barcelona.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51There's a great museum in Barcelona devoted to Pablo Picasso,

0:08:51 > 0:08:52a Museo Picasso,

0:08:52 > 0:08:55and Kate, my wife, although she was my girlfriend

0:08:55 > 0:08:58at the time, and I had just walked out of that museum and noticed

0:08:58 > 0:09:02a crowd of people standing around watching a street vendor.

0:09:02 > 0:09:07We moved closer, as if pulled in by some kind of tourist tractor beam.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11What the guy was selling were these dancing cardboard cut-outs.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13They were in the image of Disney characters

0:09:13 > 0:09:17and other cartoons, and each cut-out had two legs made of coloured yarn

0:09:17 > 0:09:20and little black magnets for feet.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22They were dancing to the tune of the beat

0:09:22 > 0:09:24coming out of his cassette boombox.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27They were cute, these little cardboard Bart Simpsons

0:09:27 > 0:09:30and Pokemons, bopping back and forth and he demonstrated them -

0:09:30 > 0:09:33when he stopped the music, they stopped dancing.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35When he started the music, they started again.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37It was right before Christmas.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40He was making a killing with these magical copyright-flaunting

0:09:40 > 0:09:41stocking-stuffers.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44The people in the semicircle around him were thrusting money at the guy.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46"Homer Simpson, por favor!"

0:09:46 > 0:09:49"Yo quiero SpongeBob SquarePants!"

0:09:49 > 0:09:52But when Kate reached for her wallet to get a couple of them

0:09:52 > 0:09:55for her brother, I told her to hold on.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58I squatted down and squinted at the cardboard cartoons

0:09:58 > 0:10:01as they jerked on their little string legs to the beat of the music.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05Suddenly, I was staring at the guy's legs, so I looked up.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08"No, no, no, no!", he shouted at me.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10He waved his finger in my face.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14That's when I knew something was rotten in Denmark.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16I might have given up if he hadn't done that,

0:10:16 > 0:10:18but it was the glove slap across the cheek,

0:10:18 > 0:10:20the gauntlet thrown down -

0:10:20 > 0:10:23I now had to prove it was a scam.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27He walked off to go help an eager buyer throwing cash at him,

0:10:27 > 0:10:30and I gingerly stepped to the edge of the semicircle of people.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33I put my head so close to the wall

0:10:33 > 0:10:36that I could see behind the dancing Disneys -

0:10:36 > 0:10:38AND behind his boombox.

0:10:38 > 0:10:43Behind the boombox, a little plastic stick moved back and forth.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46From the end of the stick I followed a nearly invisible line

0:10:46 > 0:10:49of fishing wire to where it attached to the wall.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Lisa Simpson and SpongeBob were hanging on the wire,

0:10:53 > 0:10:55the stick moved to the beat of the music.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57It was as ingenious as it was fraudulent.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02I stood up and shouted above the music and the tourists

0:11:02 > 0:11:04and announced, "It's a scam!

0:11:04 > 0:11:07"They're dancing on fishing wire, it's a scam!"

0:11:07 > 0:11:09The crowd froze in place,

0:11:09 > 0:11:12except for the motion of reinserting euros back into their wallets,

0:11:12 > 0:11:14and the scammer angrily stopped the music

0:11:14 > 0:11:17and threw his tiny dancers to the ground in a huff.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20He angrily stared at me as I walked across his little stage area,

0:11:20 > 0:11:24smugly smiling back at him and into the crowd.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27No-one thanked me, but that didn't hurt.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29What hurt was that when I looked around for Kate

0:11:29 > 0:11:32and that look of admiration I expected on her face, she had gone.

0:11:32 > 0:11:33She ran off.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36When I later caught up to her, she told me that the

0:11:36 > 0:11:39scam artist was so angry that she thought he was going to hit me

0:11:39 > 0:11:41or attack me or something, so instinct told her to run.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46"Let the Wookiee win," that's her philosophy.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04In travel news this week, we begin in France

0:12:04 > 0:12:06where a national strike by railway workers

0:12:06 > 0:12:10is entering its second week with little sign of any compromise.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14The strike over a bill to reform the country's state-run rail network

0:12:14 > 0:12:17has caused some of the worst disruptions to railway transport

0:12:17 > 0:12:19in years, with many trains cancelled.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23The national train operator SNCF says it has already had to pay out

0:12:23 > 0:12:2780 million euros in compensation to passengers.

0:12:29 > 0:12:30On your next visit to Tenerife,

0:12:30 > 0:12:33you might notice something a bit different with the locals.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35That's because the tourism board there

0:12:35 > 0:12:37has launched a campaign telling residents

0:12:37 > 0:12:39to be extra polite to tourists,

0:12:39 > 0:12:42even offering tips on how to be a nicer person.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45It's all part of a campaign to promote

0:12:45 > 0:12:47the friendliness of Tenerife's inhabitants

0:12:47 > 0:12:50in the hope it will boost repeat visitor numbers.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54More than five million tourists head to the islands every year.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58In Abu Dhabi, tourist authorities are celebrating

0:12:58 > 0:13:00a rise in visitor numbers

0:13:00 > 0:13:06as the city's hotels welcomed over 300,000 guests during April.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10This marks a 29% rise and it might have something to do with

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Star Wars Episode 7, which was recently filmed

0:13:13 > 0:13:17in a secret location in Abu Dhabi's Western Region.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20So if you're going, may the force be with you!

0:13:33 > 0:13:37Next up, we head to Estonia to visit one of Europe's biggest

0:13:37 > 0:13:41and longest-running folk festivals, where every five years

0:13:41 > 0:13:4420,000 people come together and sing.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47We sent Damien McGuinness to meet some of them.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50MASSED VOICES SING

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Estonia is a country steeped in natural beauty,

0:13:55 > 0:13:59colourful history and strong cultural traditions.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08And maybe the most important of these traditions is

0:14:08 > 0:14:10the Estonian Song Festival.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Organised only once every five years,

0:14:16 > 0:14:18tens of thousands of singers

0:14:18 > 0:14:21and choirs formed from children to pensioners

0:14:21 > 0:14:24gather in the capital city of Tallinn

0:14:24 > 0:14:28to join in this 140-year-old celebration.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39But the song festival is so popular,

0:14:39 > 0:14:44that each choir has to audition and beat off stiff competition.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48So today I've come to Narva in eastern Estonia, to see some

0:14:48 > 0:14:51children's choirs audition.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54It's a really big day for these children

0:14:54 > 0:14:56because they've been performing for a year, some of them

0:14:56 > 0:14:59an hour a day, to see if they can qualify,

0:14:59 > 0:15:00so they're really nervous.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04And it's on this stage that they're about to perform to see if they can

0:15:04 > 0:15:08qualify to take part in Estonia's most important cultural event.

0:15:10 > 0:15:11For Nastia and her friends,

0:15:11 > 0:15:15getting to perform at the festival means a lot.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19TRANSLATION: We'll be really happy if we get selected -

0:15:19 > 0:15:21so incredibly happy.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25And our teacher too would be overjoyed.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29THEY SING IN HARMONY

0:15:43 > 0:15:45MALE VOICES SING

0:15:46 > 0:15:49But why are the stakes so high?

0:15:49 > 0:15:54Well, these ancient folk songs have deep political significance.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57They are a reminder of Estonia's fight for freedom

0:15:57 > 0:15:59against the Soviet occupation.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05When Estonia was part of the former Soviet Union,

0:16:05 > 0:16:08anti-government protests were not allowed,

0:16:08 > 0:16:12so instead, people sang for their freedom.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16The Independence Movement became known as the Singing Revolution,

0:16:16 > 0:16:20and it was here, on this stage, that in 1988,

0:16:20 > 0:16:23the Independence Movement began.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27We were not permitted to sing certain songs,

0:16:27 > 0:16:33we were not allowed to say "fatherland" or something like that.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36And so, in the beginning of Singing Revolution

0:16:36 > 0:16:42the first thing people did, they just sang these prohibited songs.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48There was like, Soviet police

0:16:48 > 0:16:52standing around the Song Celebration Ground

0:16:52 > 0:16:55and people knew that the songs were prohibited,

0:16:55 > 0:16:57but they still kept singing.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Estonians call themselves "The Singing Nation",

0:17:03 > 0:17:05and if you'd like to be here for yourself

0:17:05 > 0:17:08to see what the Song Festival means for this country,

0:17:08 > 0:17:13it's on in July, at the historic Tallinn Song Festival Grounds.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20'As for me getting through the auditions, I think

0:17:20 > 0:17:22'I need to keep practising!'

0:17:22 > 0:17:24SHE SINGS THE LINES

0:17:24 > 0:17:26AND HE FOLLOWS

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Sadly, Nastia's choir didn't make it through the auditions,

0:17:33 > 0:17:38but they will definitely be in the audience to cheer on the others.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Now finally, in this week's show,

0:17:44 > 0:17:48we head to Australia for the latest chapter in an ongoing rivalry

0:17:48 > 0:17:51between the country's two largest cities.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55This time, the drinks are on the winner, as Christa reports.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Sydney and Melbourne -

0:18:05 > 0:18:09they're Australia's two largest cities, and for over 150 years

0:18:09 > 0:18:12have been locked in a fierce battle for supremacy.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20Locals will endlessly debate which city is greater -

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Sydney claims to be the more beautiful with its sparkling harbour

0:18:23 > 0:18:26and Opera House, whereas Melbourne considers itself

0:18:26 > 0:18:30the cooler, more cultural city, with its street art and top cafes.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35But when it comes to who has the best bar scene,

0:18:35 > 0:18:38there has really been no doubt which is the forerunner.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43For tourists coming in search of an intimate,

0:18:43 > 0:18:48unique bar experience, Melbourne has been the place to come.

0:18:51 > 0:18:55The city's many narrow laneways provide a perfect venue

0:18:55 > 0:18:56for creative small bars to pop up -

0:18:56 > 0:18:59this can be anything from a hole-in-the-wall bar

0:18:59 > 0:19:03where all profits are donated to charity, to a tea shop

0:19:03 > 0:19:05where perfectly-crafted cups of brew

0:19:05 > 0:19:07are spun into steaming hot cocktails.

0:19:12 > 0:19:16These bars can appear anywhere - for instance,

0:19:16 > 0:19:18in the walk-in freezer of a sandwich shop!

0:19:21 > 0:19:26For years, Melbourne held the boutique bar title uncontested,

0:19:26 > 0:19:29but now, there's some serious competition cropping up

0:19:29 > 0:19:32to the north, from that old rival, Sydney.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42In times past, one of the only options for a night out was

0:19:42 > 0:19:47a place like this, a classic Aussie pub with some sport on the TV.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51This all began to change in 2008

0:19:51 > 0:19:54when the city's complex liquor licensing laws were reformed,

0:19:54 > 0:19:59allowing for small boutique bars to open their doors for the first time.

0:19:59 > 0:20:03In the years since, Sydney has seen the debut of over 70 small bars

0:20:03 > 0:20:05in the City precinct alone.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Simon McGoram runs tours introducing visitors

0:20:11 > 0:20:14to the city's new drinking hot spots.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Sydney's bar scene is really special

0:20:18 > 0:20:20because it's quite a youthful scene,

0:20:20 > 0:20:24it's very new, very dynamic, and they've been opening up very quickly.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28There's some nice, young new operators with some really good ideas.

0:20:29 > 0:20:34The city is now home to a host of speakeasy-style drinking holes,

0:20:34 > 0:20:36some with hidden entrance ways,

0:20:36 > 0:20:41and others playing on the less salubrious elements of Sydney's past.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Darlinghurst's Love Tilly Devine, for instance, takes

0:20:44 > 0:20:48its inspiration from the city's most notorious 1930s brothel madam.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53This fast-moving scene has caught the attention of Broadsheet,

0:20:53 > 0:20:57a Melbourne-based culture website which in late 2011 extended

0:20:57 > 0:21:00its bar and restaurant reviews to include Sydney.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03I think Sydney's got a lot of enthusiasm right now

0:21:03 > 0:21:06because they're developing their bar culture,

0:21:06 > 0:21:08it's really something that they're

0:21:08 > 0:21:10experimenting a lot, trying new things,

0:21:10 > 0:21:12whereas Melbourne's been doing it for ten, 15 years.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15So there is an element that Sydney is doing some super-interesting

0:21:15 > 0:21:20stuff, whereas Melbourne does run the risk of opening the same old bar

0:21:20 > 0:21:22and they think they know what they're doing.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27So, the bar wars continue,

0:21:27 > 0:21:29and regardless of which city ends up on top,

0:21:29 > 0:21:33it looks like this old rivalry isn't going to die down any time soon.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38That's it for The Travel Show this week,

0:21:38 > 0:21:41but join us if you can next week, for this.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46As tourists continue to flock to London, Ade visits England's

0:21:46 > 0:21:49often-overlooked north to find out how sport

0:21:49 > 0:21:52and the Tour de France could be its saviour.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58For most British people, this area is known because it's wild

0:21:58 > 0:21:59and beautiful,

0:21:59 > 0:22:02so why is it only 3% of international travellers

0:22:02 > 0:22:04bother coming here?

0:22:04 > 0:22:06That looks like a good one, so catch that if you can.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08But in the meantime, do keep up to date with us

0:22:08 > 0:22:12and all of our travels by jumping onto our website or social

0:22:17 > 0:22:20here in the beautiful jungles of Sarawak,

0:22:20 > 0:22:23it's goodbye, or "selamat jalan".
