Tailwinds For ASEAN Tourism

According to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation, 2024 saw 1.4 billion international tourists, signaling the return to health of an industry that was decimated by the Covid-19 pandemic. What will be the trends shaping the tourism industry in 2025, and more importantly is Malaysia positioning itself to leverage the Asia-Pacific tailwinds? We discuss these themes with our expert panel.
