What was even better news was the strong performance not just by us, but our neighbours as well – the second and third slots were taken by Hong Kong and Bangkok respectively.
The fact that Asian cities made such a strong showing speaks well for the fact that our region is truly on the rise not just as tourism destinations, but a growing force in the global economy. In 2009, more than ever, intra-regional trade and travel will be the drivers that hasten our recovery.
So if there's a message for 2009, it would be to be a good neighbour.
In this first issue of the year, we look ahead to the opportunities available for ASEAN destinations as they gather in Hanoi, Viet Nam, this month, and we share tips on how travel agencies can become more efficient and how hotels can keep customers happy at the frontline.
Have a happy new year.
Sincerely,
Ken Low
