AirAsia MOVE’s signature travel subscription product the ASEAN Explorer Pass was featured during the closing ceremony for the 2025 ASEAN Tourism Forum in Johor, Malaysia on Monday, 20th January.
The product was hailed as an initiative that facilitates accessible and inclusive travel across the whole ASEAN region.
The ASEAN Explorer Pass by AirAsia MOVE is an annual travel pass which allows subscribers to explore the whole ASEAN region through AirAsia’s international and domestic flight network.
The Pass also enables holders to enjoy hotel discounts as well as connectivity on-ground through AirAsia Ride for a full year from the date of subscription, aside from seasonal perks throughout the year.
AirAsia MOVE chief executive Nadia Omer said: “We are honoured to have the ASEAN Explorer Pass featured as an initiative that promotes travel across ASEAN, as part of the 2025 ASEAN Tourism Forum closing ceremony. We would like to thank Yang Berhormat Dato Sri Tiong King Sing, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia for launching this product with us in April last year, and now recommending the ASEAN Explorer Pass by AirAsia MOVE to the region’s key tourism stakeholders as a key enabler for everyone to discover the region's diverse landscapes. I would also like to thank ASEANTA for championing the cause of a closer and more connected ASEAN, as well as Tan Sri Nazir Razak, Chairman of ASEAN-BAC Malaysia and Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A for their immense support in making this unique ASEAN travel subscription product possible.
A key to exploration
Omer added that, in line with the 2025 ASEAN Tourism Forum’s theme Unity in Motion: Shaping ASEAN’s Tourism Tomorrow, the ASEAN Explorer Pass will enable exploration of this region beyond the popular destinations and main Tier-1 cities, and showcase the hidden gems of each ASEAN member country.
Aside from that, this would also indirectly contribute towards the economic growth of each local community and help curb overtourism at the main destinations.
Since the Pass’ launch in April 2024, over 25,000 trips have been completed across ASEAN which include cities such as Makassar, Jogjakarta, Da Nang, Johor Bahru, Chiang Mai, and many more destinations.
Omer concluded by saying: “As an online travel agent (OTA), we hope each ASEAN country’s national flag carrier will consider being part of the ASEAN Explorer Pass, and look forward to having conversations with each of you. Let’s join hands to unlock even more destinations across ASEAN for the world to experience.”
