The Travel Weekly Asia team at ITB Asia 2017.
"Travellers are constantly
on the look out for newer,
more exotic experiences,
so agents who can predict
the 'next big destination'
will stand to gain. If you're
looking for a fresh destination to sell, check out
the African booths. We saw photos of Bisate
Lodge in Rwanda and it looks amazing. "
— Lee Xin Hui, Assistant Editor
"The only thing that beats the
razzmatazz of ITB Asia is the
rush the Travel Weekly Asia team
gets from the event. We were
eagerly looking forward to the
copious amounts of booze that
was promised at the conference,
but we got a natural high from
covering it instead. "
— Travel Weekly Asia team
"The 10 fastest growing
tourism cities are all in Asia,
says the World Travel and
Tourism Council. There
must be discussions on
how best to deal with
this growth. The perils of
progress are as great as its
prospects, and nowhere is
this more true than in travel
and tourism."
– Bing Jaleco, Philippines
