South East Asia's 15 Travel & Tourism Hot Topics to Watch in 2025

Happy New Year to all our listeners, and welcome to the start of the 6^th year of The South East Asia Travel Show. In 2024, for the first time, our show was downloaded in more than 100 countries (actually, 113) - and as this is the time of year for forecasting, we’re aiming for 120 in 2025. To kick off the year, Gary and Hannah have put together a list of 15 hot travel and tourism topics to watch out for over the next 12 months. No spoilers, but the journey takes us to Thailand, Malaysia (East & West), Singapore, Vietnam, The Philippines and Myanmar, plus China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia and Nepal... and mentions for the EU and BRICS. We wrap up by each selecting our 2025 Tourism Word of the Year.
