2 Apr 2024 • 19m35s

Welcome to our new monthly mini-roundup of the key moments from The South East Asia Travel Show’s recent editions. The March rewind features red-hot talking points including ASEAN’s domestic and international flight recovery, Indonesia’s most popular outbound destinations, the opportunities for adventure travel in Laos and China’s remarkable inbound tourism policy shift.

We also discuss Thailand’s Prime Minister becoming the nation’s pre-eminent tourism salesman, and the passing on of travel costs to tourists and travellers around the region.

Plus, could Vietnam build a high-speed train connecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in just five hours? Many thanks to our expert guests this month: Pauline Suharno in Indonesia, Inthy Deuansavanh in Laos, Brendan Sobie in Singapore, James Clark in Australia and Yereth Jansen in China.
