What makes AST Forums different
We bring solution-driven sustainability conversations to you.
For many travel SMEs, high entry costs and extended team travel may make attending regional tourism conferences in major Asian cities difficult.
AST Forums are a response to the market’s need for a cost-effective way of participating in the global sustainability conversation. That’s why we go to places with dynamic yet often overlooked tourism communities.
We welcome diverse perspectives and dismantle echo chambers.
Everyone is welcome to join, whether you are a food supplier, hotel manager, climate scientist, or travel advisor.
We cultivate lasting value by facilitating meaningful conversations across the value chain from sustainability aficionados and inquisitive minds.
Sponsorship Opportunities
We believe that there’s a strength in numbers. That’s why we’re calling companies that provide services to empower travel and hospitality businesses to achieve their sustainability goals to collaborate with us on this exciting journey.
Our high-impact sponsorship packages offer you an opportunity to tell your story in front of influential leaders in the travel and hospitality industry.
1% of our revenues (not profits) will go into supporting the cleanup of rivers and seas in Southeast Asia.
We invite you to learn about the sponsorship benefits here or email us at [email protected] with your questions.
