Malaysia is gearing up to host this year's
ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF), with an expected turnout of 1,600 delegates expected
to gather at the Borneo Convention Center in Kuching, Sarawak.
Scheduled to run from January 16 to 23, this
year’s ATF has adopted the theme ASEAN – Advancing Tourism Together, and
will explore the sustainable development of tourism and how tourism programmes
and plans can further support this initiative.
According to Malaysia’s minister for tourism
and culture, Mohamed Nazri bin Abdul Aziz: “(ATF 2014) will be a timely
platform to further discuss and act on implementing innovative and sustainable
initiatives that will ensure the preservation of our natural environment and heritage
of this region for future generations.”
This year’s ATF will again be comprised of
the ASEAN NTOs meeting, tourism ministers meeting and TRAVEX.
TRAVEX, the buyer-seller travel exhibition,
will also feature the ASEAN Tourism Conference taking place on January 21.
Speakers will touch on four topics: airline open sky policy, ground
transportation, cruise and sea transportation, and river-based tourism.
Some
150 ASEAN tourism officials, 500 ASEAN exhibitors, 500 international buyers,
100 international and local media as well as 100 trade visitors are anticipated
at this year’s ATF.
