Asia travel is at an inflection point. Join us in Bangkok.

Hi there, Asia travel is moving fast right now - and not always in the direction anyone predicted.   Hotel RevPAR across APAC is surging. Vietnam is drawing a wave of global capital. Chinese outbound is reshaping regional routes. And the Iran conflict has thrown Middle East transit hubs into flux, disrupting travel flows for nearly half of Southeast Asian operators - forcing the industry to rethink demand assumptions in real time.   These aren't background trends. They're live strategic challenges - and they're exactly what we'll be working through at Skift Asia Forum 2026, April 28-29 at the Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel.   The agenda is built around three questions every senior travel leader in Asia is wrestling with right now: • Where is growth in Asia actually durable? • Who controls demand in Asia's travel ecosystem? • What operating models will win in the next phase?   You'll hear directly from executives navigating these questions at scale - including Alan Watts (President APAC, Hilton), Omri Morgenshtern (CEO, Agoda), Jihong He (Chief Strategy Officer, H World), Boon Sian Chai (VP International Markets, Trip.com Group), Philipp Kandal (CPO, Grab), and Laura Houldsworth (MD & VP APAC, Booking.com), among others.   We put significant effort into curating who's in the room. The conversations at Skift Asia Forum are only as good as the people having them - so we deliberately build an audience anchored around senior buyers: the founders, operators, and decision-makers who set the direction of travel businesses across the region. That's what keeps the dialogue honest, strategic, and grounded in how the industry actually works.   Last year's forum brought together 380 senior leaders from 19 countries, with 80% at director level or above.   How to join us: If you're a director-level or above buyer in travel, hospitality, aviation, or destination management - you may qualify for a complimentary pass.
