Introducing

We are thrilled to announce the expansion of Asia Sustainable Travel Forums (AST Forums) to more communities across the Asia-Pacific region following the resounding success of our inaugural community event in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam,

We believe that true progress is born from a harmonious balance between global vision and local action.

Each AST Forum serves as a platform where cross-sectoral expertise converges with the needs and sensitivities of the local community.

So, what sets AST Forums apart?

We bring solution-driven sustainability conversations to you.

For many travel SMEs, the high entry cost and extended team travel may make it difficult to attend regional tourism conferences in major Asian cities.

AST Forums will bring solution-driven sustainability conversations directly to these communities.

We welcome diverse perspectives and dismantle echo chambers.

We come together not only to celebrate place-based and community-driven solutions in travel and hospitality but also to welcome more businesses and people to join the climate action movement.

We believe that enduring value is created through constructive dialogue among different stakeholders, from sustainability aficionados to inquisitive minds, to address pressing challenges.

Your next question may be what’s in it for me.

Cross-sectoral partnerships

You’ll have a chance to build alliances with mission-driven business leaders across the value chain in travel. From biodiversity preservation to finance, marketing, and guest services, AST Forums offer unique networking opportunities.

Knowledge sharing & learning

You are invited to openly share lessons learned, successes, and even failures in a supportive environment.

Discussion topics will be specifically tailored to the host destination’s challenges and needs.

Together, we explore holistic approaches to implementing meaningful changes in our organizations and industries.

Market exposure & brand visibility

You’ll be able to showcase your brand and forge valuable business partnerships. Our previous events have seen attendees connect and collaborate, leading to exciting new ventures.
