This event coincides with the 35th anniversary of China-ASEAN dialogue relations and the Year of the Horse, symbolising a shared vision of harmony and prosperity. The gathering, supported by the Mission of the People's Republic of China to ASEAN and the ASEAN Secretariat, was hosted by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region's Information Office. Over 250 guests, including envoys from ASEAN countries and representatives from nations such as Russia, the UK, and Australia, attended the event. Kao Kim Hourn, Secretary-General of ASEAN, highlighted the Spring Festival's evolution into a global celebration, underscoring its cultural significance. "ASEAN will continue its commitment to fostering a community proud of its identity," he stated. Wang Qing, Chinese Ambassador to ASEAN, emphasised the festival's role in strengthening China-ASEAN ties, noting Guangxi's pivotal role in this partnership.

ASEAN debates unified visa as members raise regional security issues
At the recently concluded ASEAN Tourism Forum 2026, member-states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) again brought the topic of a unified visa to the discussion table. Originally proposed by Thailand in 2023, the concept was driven by the need to promote seamless mobility throughout Southeast Asia. The proposal, however, only encompassed six countries under what is now known as the Six Countries, One Destination initiative. At the time, these were Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam as, in April 2024, these collectively hosted 70 million tourists; Thailand and Malaysia, in particular, pulled in a total of US$46 billion in tourism revenues. Then-Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin sought to implement the visa to streamline entry into the six named countries in order to boost both arrival numbers and maximise revenue per traveller. But the question among both travel professionals and travellers is whether or not Southeast Asia is ready to roll the visa out. A work in progress The quick answer to that question is no; at least, not yet. The more detailed answer is that it is still under discussion as there are a number of related issues that need to be addressed before the initiative can move forward. In our piece The pros and cons of a regional unified visa published in May of last year, we delineated the most pressing of those issues. At the time, these included: Political volatility and security issues We are all aware of the recent conflict between Thailand and Cambodia; ironically, two out of the six countries covered by the original visa proposal. Such conflicts are an issue with regard to the issuance of any visa that allows travellers entry into any neighbouring state, especially where their safety and security are concerned. And speaking of security, policies that may work in one nation may be in conflict with those of a neighbouring destination; Immigration control and data sharing Implementing a unified visa requires seamless data sharing between member countries, which can be challenging due to varying data privacy laws and security protocols; and A matter of cost Real talk: who needs to shoulder the bill for all relevant infrastructure, data sharing protocols, and the implementation of security measures? In a region still marked by significant economic instability, this question can be difficult to answer: do all participate or only those who can afford it? If the latter, the matter of regional inequality will come up and be yet another point of contention, especially if those who can afford to invest in the initiative push their respective agendas over everyone else’s. Dissension amongst neighbours Interestingly, especially in light of current geopolitical issues in play, Philippine congressman and former immigration commissioner Rufus Rodriguez called out his country’s support of the unified visa initiative in May of last year, citing how such a visa could be used by foreign spies and compromise national security. Chinese tourists availing of a unified visa are also seen as a challenge for Thailand. William J Jones, chair of the social science division of Mahidol University International College, points out how Thailand is struggling with what he refers to as visa issuance abuse: Chinese nationals moved to Thailand following stricter regulations against gambling in Cambodia in 2024. Such laxity in visa regulation resulted in an increase of incidents, particularly related to violence, gambling, cybercrime, and drugs. Espionage and crime aside, humanitarian reasons are another factor that is keeping ASEAN from finalising a vote in favour of the unified visa. This is related to the regional bloc’s stance against the ruling military junta of Myanmar, as well as its recent collective refusal to accept the results of that country’s elections last month. No end in sight (at least, for the moment) In June last year, travel and tourism analyst Gary Bowerman wrote: “For now, the introduction of an ASEAN visa seems remote, but it could gain new impetus as the regional chair rotates to a nation geographically distinct from mainland Southeast Asia.” As Bowerman explains it, something as major as synchronising security measures, data sharing mechanisms, and even diplomatic and immigration protocols throughout an incredibly politically and economically diverse region would be, in his words, a seismic leap of faith. After all, unlike its counterpart the European Union, ASEAN doesn’t have the kind of supranatural institutions that would have the power to make decisions and enforce measures stringently throughout the region, let alone a central bank to finance such a massive endeavour. Indeed, a unified ASEAN visa is not something that member-states can simply vote into being for immediate implementation. Such a measure which encompasses national borders, national and regional security, as well as diplomacy is something that needs to be mulled over for as long as it takes to become a tangible, even practical reality.
ASEAN officials mull unified SEAsia visa at 2026 tourism forum
Officials from tourism boards and ministries of foreign affairs throughout Southeast Asia are contemplating the possibility of a unified regional visa. The topic is set to be raised during a high-level meeting to be convened at the ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) in the central Philippine province of Cebu which is currently ongoing till tomorrow, 30th January. According to Philippine tourism secretary Christina Frasco: “As part of the ASEAN Tourism Strategic Plan (ATSP), there is a priority on seamless access and accessibility overall to the region, and therefore visa-free access and unified visas may be taken up as one of its key components.” Frasco added that all ASEAN member states are committed to position Southeast Asia as one unified destination. As of press time, however, specific target markets for the unified visa have yet to be decided.
Thailand makes its mark at ASEAN TRAVEX 2026
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) continues to make its presence felt among its regional neighbours through its pavilion at this year’s ASEAN Travel Exchange (TRAVEX). TRAVEX is part of the ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) 2026, running from 28th to 30th January in the central Philippine province of Cebu. TAT’s participation at the event underscores its home country’s strategic focus on high-value tourism, sustainability, and strengthened regional cooperation across ASEAN. According to TAT governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool: “ATF 2026 enables Thailand to strengthen regional collaboration while setting a clear direction towards quality-led, sustainable tourism. Through TRAVEX and ministerial-level dialogue, TAT is delivering the global concept Healing is the New Luxury by aligning wellness, culture, and meaningful travel with long-term value creation and shared sustainability across ASEAN.” For quality tourism on a regional level Now in its 44th edition, ATF 2026 is hosted by the Philippines under the theme Quality Tourism, Sustainability, Regional Integration and Innovation. The forum remains ASEAN’s principal platform for tourism policy alignment and industry collaboration. Thailand’s role in this framework is reflected in six previous tenures as host, alongside continued participation at both commercial and policy levels. In parallel with its strong trade presence at TRAVEX, Thailand is represented at the ASEAN Tourism Ministers’ Meeting by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, contributing to discussions on coordinated policy development, sustainable tourism standards, and closer regional integration. Helping industry players meet the regional market The Thailand Pavilion serves Thailand’s central platform throughout TRAVEX till Friday, 30th January, supporting trade engagement, media interaction, and partnership building with regional and international counterparts. Designed to reflect the global concept “Healing is the New Luxury” and facilitate high-quality business exchange, the Thailand Pavilion integrates a tourism information zone featuring digital and audiovisual content with dedicated spaces for B2B negotiations, media interviews, and strategic discussions. Six Thai sellers are participating under TAT’s coordination: Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok, Lion Land Phuket, Panan Krabi Resort, Thai Airways International, Thailand Privilege Card, and Paradise Koh Yao Resort.
ASEAN highlights tourism cooperation with counterparts in North Asia
Representatives of member-states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations met up with their counterparts from China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea at the 48th ASEAN Plus Three National Tourism Organisations Meeting on Tuesday, 27th January. Held at the Nustar Hotel Cebu, this year’s meeting cast the spotlight on the growing impact of cooperation between ASEAN member states and their Northeast Asian partners on regional tourism. The 48th ASEAN Plus Three National Tourism Organizations meeting is part of the ASEAN Tourism Forum, which aims to strengthen ASEAN Plus Three tourism cooperation and support the sector’s continued recovery and growth. Hironobu Nara, deputy commissioner of the Japan Tourism Agency, chaired the meeting which was attended by tourism officials from ASEAN member states, China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea. Collaboration is key Verna C Buensuceso, undersecretary at the Philippine Department of Tourism and head of the Philippine National Tourism Organization, underscored the value of sustained tourism collaboration among the participating countries. She declared in her opening remarks: “Our partnership is not just a collaboration. It is a vital alliance that highlights the profound role of tourism as a catalyst for unity and mutual prosperity.” The undersecretary further urged member states to use the meeting to reinforce their commitment to tourism cooperation and to protect and promote the region’s cultural heritage and natural assets. North Asian travellers boost tourism recovery in Southeast Asia Buensuceso reported that consistent growth in terms of visitor arrivals from China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea throughout 2024 was instrumental to Southeast Asian tourism’s post-pandemic recovery. As of end-2024, ASEAN member-states welcomed over 20 million arrivals from China, more than nine million from the Republic of Korea, as well as three million from Japan. Buensuceso added that tourism remains one of the most dynamic sectors driving the ASEAN economy, as well as a key towards cultural interaction and interregional diplomacy. Central to this cooperation is the ASEAN Plus Three Tourism Cooperation Work Plan, an important framework for dialogue and joint action. It was pointed out that the work plan has helped member-states address shared challenges, enabling them to take advantage of the sector’s emerging opportunities. Buensuceso also acknowledged the contributions of the ASEAN-China Center, ASEAN-Japan Center, and ASEAN-Korea Center in advancing common tourism goals across the region. Looking ahead, she called for a tourism sector that is not only competitive, but also resilient and inclusive. She concluded by saying: “By strengthening our partnerships, we can champion cultural exchange and foster innovation in travel experiences, thereby enhancing the appeal of our destinations to travelers from every corner of the globe.”
ASEAN seeks tourism collab with Russia
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) seeks to sustain practical collaboration with Russia to promote frictionless travel and tourism growth in the region. Speaking at the 16th ASEAN–Russia Tourism Consultation on Tuesday, 27th January, in Cebu City, Philippine tourism undersecretary Verna Buensuceso said ASEAN is aiming to build an inclusive and resilient tourism sector. Buensuceso remarked: “We value the Russian Federation as a long-standing partner of ASEAN in strengthening people-to-people exchanges. And this partnership matters because it is grounded on shared aspirations: tourism that is resilient in the face of disruption, inclusive in the opportunities it creates, rooted in respect for culture, heritage and nature, and a force for peace and international understanding.” The undersecretary added that ASEAN is keen to pursue cooperation that boosts traveler confidence and safety, supports workforce development and skills exchange, and improves connectivity to make travel more accessible and seamless. She also proposed further collaboration through digital marketing as well as sharing of travel-related data and best practices. Seeking a full recovery For his part, Igor Maksimov, deputy director of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, expressed hopes for the full-recovery of two-way tourism. Four years after the pandemic, Maksimov said tourism flow between Russia and ASEAN states has steadily recovered by 93 percent. He said: "And the figure keeps growing. In this regard, the adoption of a new joint work plan until 2030 seems to be a good step to developing a commercially beneficial partnership.”
Southeast Asia pivots to quality tourism as 2026 ASEAN Forum nears
With just over a week till the 2026 ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) in the Philippine province of Cebu, the eyes of the world turn to Southeast Asia, one of the most dynamic regions for travel and tourism. While there was a major drop in tourism numbers thanks to the pandemic, global travellers are returning to the region in droves…but not necessarily for the same reasons as before 2020. Indeed, the Southeast Asian tourism scene is evolving from the purely hedonistic / backpacker-centric vibe that so characterised the period from the late ‘90s to well into the 2010s, to a more luxurious yet sustainability-driven one that calls for quality, immersion, and authenticity. Southeast Asia’s shift to quality tourism To sum up the driving force that is sweeping through the sub-region in a single word: quality. Yes, travellers are veering away from the cheap and fast getaways in favour of more meaningful, immersive experiences that allow them to gain a better understanding of a destination, its people, and the culture that sets it apart from its regional and global neighbours. The framework for the ongoing evolution of tourism in Southeast Asia was initially outlined in 2012 via the ASEAN Strategic Tourism Plan 2016 - 2025 whose mission statement declares: “By 2025, ASEAN will be a quality tourism destination offering a unique, diverse ASEAN experience, and will be committed to responsible, sustainable, inclusive and balanced tourism development, so as to contribute significantly to the socioeconomic well-being of ASEAN people.” This was later explored, particularly in the context of using technologies to drive towards quality tourism, in the study Digitalization and AI: Catalysts for Quality Tourism in Southeast Asia conducted by the Expedia Group via the Asian Development Bank’s South East Asia Development Solutions (ADB-SEADS). Expedia head of public policy, government, and corporate affairs Mohammad Matin Mohdari pointed out that quality tourism is not strictly limited to the concept of luxury travel. As he puts it: “ [Quality tourism] takes into consideration several other factors that contribute toward a nuanced, multi-dimensional vision of sustainable growth. However, countries must establish a shared understanding of what ‘quality tourism’ means within their specific context to ensure that it aligns with their national priorities, distinct value propositions, and unique operating environments.” In the Southeast Asian context, quality tourism centres on three dimensions: Economic growth which establishes tourism as a key and efficient economic driver for a country’s development, contributing towards resilient and equitable growth across communities; Productivity and job creation to enhance sector productivity to create good, higher-value, and dignified jobs for local workers; and Sustainable development which calls for supporting initiatives for environmental preservation and cultural heritage, including fostering responsible tourism and inclusive travel whilst advancing sustainable development goals. Who’s at the forefront of quality tourism in the region? The thing to keep in mind regarding quality tourism is that it takes travellers off the beaten path, it offers a more sustainable alternative to the usual tourist destinations, it enables travellers to immerse themselves into the culture and customs of a destination without the experience becoming too commercial or feeling contrived, and it benefits both the environment and local residents in myriad ways. The Nam Et-Phou Louey National Park in Ban That Hium, Laos is one such destination that exemplifies the ethos of quality tourism. Spanning over 5,000sqkm, three provinces, and 100 villages, the park is one of the largest nature reserves in Laos and serves as more than just another wildlife sanctuary. Indeed, Nam Et-Phou Louey serves as a living and immersive classroom for both local and global travellers who seek to know more about Laos and its people. By doing so, it doesn’t just heighten awareness regarding endangered flora and fauna, but also supports the livelihood of eight of Laos’ 50 ethnic groups, many of whom were reduced to subsistence living prior to the park’s designation as a nature preserve. Another initiative that centres on quality tourism is Indonesia’s Desa WIsata (tourism villages) programme where whole communities are involved in offering immersive cultural and ecological experiences, blending local life with tourism, whilst focusing on sustainability and community empowerment. To date, the roster features the villages of Penglipuran and Pemuteran in Bali, Nglanggeran and Pentingsari in Yogyakarta, and Tamansari in Bangyuwanggi, all of which highlight immersive cultural experiences that enable travellers to know the locals’ way of life, understand their traditions, and keep local craft traditions from dying out through thriving cottage industries. Villages covered by the Desa Wisata programme are supported by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) which promotes them through various developmental initiatives, offering incentives and awards to the best-performing locations. By doing so, Indonesia is able to offer tourists a more meaningful journey that takes them away from the usual destinations to see and feel for themselves the richness of the country’s cultural and natural wonders. Moving forward In an industry where travellers are seeking better, more meaningful experiences, how is Southeast Asia working to maintain a lead? Sustainable urban and destination management is one of the key factors: especially in smaller, highly urbanised countries like Singapore, approaches need to take into consideration the needs of both locals and guests. In Singapore’s case, this entailed an integrated approach to urban management, especially with regard to public transportation, as well as the integration of tourism into national growth plans and strategies. It isn’t just for cities, of course: sustainable destination management also takes into consideration the whole range of tourism sites from cultural heritage areas, designated wildlife / nature reserves, and even beach destinations known as prime diving areas thanks to ample marine life. Another aspect to take into consideration is private-public partnerships where related government agencies and tourism boards enter collaborative partnerships with airlines, OTAs, and even cause-oriented groups to delineate relevant strategies and ensure their proper implementation. This collaborative approach, especially among regional neighbours, could lead to better quality experiences for global guests, enticing them to come back to Southeast Asia for more.
AirAsia X supports Malaysian athletes headed to the 2026 ASEAN Para Games
AirAsia X recently extended its charter service to support Malaysian athletes competing at the now-ongoing ASEAN Para Games. The airline ferried nearly 360 athletes and coaches from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok to compete from 15th to 27th January. Operated under a special charter agreement between the National Sports Council of Malaysia and AirAsia X Berhad, this mission underscores the airline's commitment to inclusivity and national pride, ensuring the contingents travel together in comfort. AirAsia X chief executive Benyamin Ismail said of the service: "It is an honour to fly our national heroes to Bangkok. These athletes represent the best of Malaysia. Their determination, resilience and spirit inspire us all. We are proud to play our part in supporting their journey to the ASEAN Para Games”. This initiative also reflects AAX’s role beyond commercial aviation, serving as a proud partner in Malaysia’s sporting journey by championing equal opportunities for athletes at a regional stage.
Intra-ASEAN Air Travel grew from 37% in 2019 to 45% in 2024
Representative Image Travel within ASEAN countries accounts for the largest share of international arrivals into the region, growing from 37% in 2019 to 45% in 2024. With the ever-increasing uncertainty of geopolitics and the economic outlook, this dependence on regional travel may be Southeast Asia’s ace card, insulating it from potential longer-haul market disruptions. In Summer 2025, Malaysia leads with 19.3 million scheduled seats Like everywhere, intra-ASEAN seat capacity was impacted during the pandemic, and while the numbers are recovering steadily, they have not reached 2019 levels, indicating there is still room for growth. In Summer 2025, there were 46 million scheduled seats available for travel between the ASEAN countries. Although this is a 7% increase compared to Summer 2024, it remains 6% below Summer 2019’s level of 50 million seats. For many years, Singapore was the centre of the Southeast Asian aviation sector, with Changi Airport serving as a major hub for international long-haul travel from neighbouring countries. Looking at intra-regional capacity in Summer 2025, Malaysia leads with 19.3 million scheduled seats to other Southeast Asian countries (5.5% behind Summer 2019 levels). And Singapore follows closely with 19 million seats (10% below Summer 2019 levels). Out of ten of the busiest intra-Southeast Asian routes still start or end in Singapore. Looking at flows within the Southeast Asian region at country level shows that there are pockets of strong growth taking place. Vietnam is rapidly expanding its aviation footprint, recording the fastest growth in seat capacity to other Southeast Asian countries among all ASEAN members. Seat capacity from Vietnam is up by 21.8% in Summer 2025 compared to Summer 2024, and a strong 8.5% ahead of Summer 2019. In particular, total seat capacity between Vietnam and Indonesia, Philippines, and Laos is seeing significant growth compared to 2019. Vietnam has 51 route connections to other Southeast Asian destinations as of Summer 2025, up from 45 in 2019. Aside from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, secondary cities Danang and Phu Quoc have seen more routes added in 2025, with five and three new routes added, respectively. With the majority of ASEAN’s capital cities already connected to one another, the opportunity for growth is capital city-secondary city, or secondary city-secondary city. Looking at capacity growth for Summer 2025 versus Summer 2024 shows that in that secondary city market, growth in capacity within Southeast Asia has been highest, at 18%, suggesting that there is growing activity and reasons for travel between these cities. Analysis of airport pairs within the region reveals 50 new intra-ASEAN connections in Summer 2025 compared to Summer 2019, with the highest growth coming from connections between secondary cities. 22 of the new intra-ASEAN routes operate to/from Indonesian airports. Ten are connections to Malaysia, including four new routes from Kuala Lumpur to Indonesian secondary cities, and three from Kota Kinabalu. Bali also saw new connections with Hanoi and Phuket. With Timor-Leste set to join ASEAN by the end of this year, Southeast Asian airlines are starting to ramp up their connectivity to the country. Batik Air Malaysia opened a new direct route from Kuala Lumpur to Timor-Leste’s capital, Dili, in June 2025. Whilst Singapore - Timor-Leste connectivity saw the biggest growth of seat capacity with an increase of 2,697% to 9,900 seats in Summer 2025 compared to 354 seats in Summer 2019. However, the number of absolute seats means Timor-Leste remains significantly below its regional peers. In Vietnam, the resort island of Phu Quoc is becoming increasingly popular: Its flight route to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport showed 265% growth in seat capacity in Summer 2025 compared to Summer 2019. The route was initially operated by Bangkok Airways in 2019, but Thai Vietjet became the sole operator in Summer 2025, with seats jumping from 56,880 in Summer 2024 to 107,368 in April 2025. Thai AirAsia and Thai Lion Air have also launched new Bangkok Don Mueang-Phu Quoc routes, bringing the total number of seats between the two cities to 183,403 in Summer 2025. Airlines in the region continue to grow amidst Geo political tensions With proposed protectionist policies, uncertain global economic conditions, and geopolitical tensions affecting outbound travel sentiments, it may be wise for Southeast Asia to shift its tourism focus closer to home. Even land borders are proving to be hot spots for tension within ASEAN itself, as a dispute over Thailand and Cambodia's border demarcations led to the closure of land border crossings from mid-June for the majority of travellers, leaving air travel as the only reliable way to cross between the two countries. Airlines in the region have an opportunity to continue growth through expanding intra-ASEAN routes and seat capacity, striving for a full recovery back to pre-pandemic levels and beyond with further connectivity between secondary cities.
