About This Episode

12 Nov 2021 • 26m00s

Having achieved more than a 95% vaccine rate for its adult population, Malaysia is eager to recommence International travel. Three overlapping announcements this week paved the way, but left many questions unanswered.

On the second edition of our new weekly The SEA Travel News Show, Gary also looks at the top talking points in Indonesia and Myanmar.

Plus, Vincent Vichit-Vadakan dials in from Bangkok to discuss the latest on Thailand’s reopening and the lessons being learned from the Phuket Sandbox strategy. He also provides some advance information about an exciting South East Asia travel webinar with an all-star cast to be hosted by Foreign Correspondent’s Club of Thailand next week.

Plus, we’ve got some clips from Gary and Hannah’s guest appearance on this week’s OAG Webinar dedicated to air travel and tourism in South East Asia.

We finish with an excerpt from our podcast interview with Langkawi-based travel filmmaker Kamila Delart about how travel film and video content is likely to evolve in the new era.
