Beyond finding new products and
business opportunities, I'm sure many
attendees are here to catch up and
share their first-hand knowledge
of industry trends, what marketing
strategies are working, and more.
Each year there's so much going on
and not enough time to discover it all.
Being able to clone myself would be
nice - I could meet people on the show
floor and write at the same time!
— Brooke Thio, Asia Correspondent
The world has been
brought closer together
thanks to technology and
savvy travellers are looking
for more.
It's heartening to see
such a gathering of travel
professionals, all passionate
about learning and
exchanging knowledge of
the industry to deliver the
best to their customers,
whether it is in the business
or consumer space.
— Audrey Ng,
Asia Correspondent
The one thing that continues to
inspire me at travel trade shows is
how open people are to new cultures
and experiences. Whether it's back alley
tours in urban cities like Singapore or
river cruising opening
up Myanmar's riverside sights, the
depth of experiences that Asia offers
remain to be explored. This is never
more important as destinations
grapple with over tourism and
maintaining authenticity.
— Naomi Neoh, Reporter
