In support of the EU-ASEAN Business Council as a supporting partner, EUROCHAM Malaysia would like to invite our members to participate in the upcoming webinar by the EU-ASEAN Business Council regarding ASEAN’s Road to Recovery Series: The Future of Travel that will be held on Tuesday, 2 November 2021, 4 pm (SGT).

ASEAN countries continue to battle a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, fuelled by the outbreak of the Delta variant and made worse by the uneven rollout and take-up rate of vaccinations. The region risks falling behind others, as prolonged travel bans and retightened lockdown measures threaten to delay economic recovery. The IMF continues to downgrade its growth forecast for ASEAN’s five largest economies – Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam – projecting a 0.6-point drop for this year.

With keynote speeches by Bernadette Romulo-Puyat, Secretary, Philippines Department of Tourism and H.E. Budi Karya Sumadi, Minister, Indonesia Ministry of Transport as well as an IATA presentation by Vinoop Goel, Regional Director, Airports & External Relations, Asia-Pacific, International Air Transport Association, it will be a very immersive and informative webinar session. Join together with an impressive list of panellists, including Dr Le Quang Lan, Assistant Director, ICT and Tourism, ASEAN Secretariat, Vinoop Goel, Regional Director, Airports & External Relations, Asia-Pacific, International Air Transport Association, Laura Houldsworth, VP and Managing Director APAC, Booking.com and Sascha Fuls, General Manager, OVD Kinegram (Asia Pacific). This webinar session will be moderated by Chris Humphrey, Executive Director of EU-ASEAN Business Council.
