The Asia Summit considered what needs to be done to harness the enormous growth potential, in Korea and beyond, showcasing countries which are driving the industry with an enlightened approach, and drawing comparisons with positive and negative experiences in other parts of the world. It provides the opportunity for a stimulating exchange between private and public sector, and it will tackle some of the most pressing issues facing travel and tourism today. The theme of the Asia Summit was ‘Staying ahead of tomorrow’. This theme encapsulates the region’s global lead in technology development; consumer understanding across different cultures; planning ahead for infrastructure build; launching new product; and developing human capital. Videos of the event are available online.

Based on a survey carried out among international travellers, TCI Research reports that Dubai achieves the highest scores both in awareness and positive image, compared with the other destinations from the Arabian Peninsula. With 93% of prompted awareness and 3 travellers of 4 having a positive image of Dubai, the Emirate surpasses its competitors in the region. However, Abu Dhabi and Qatar also enjoy strong levels of awareness but still need to improve their image to rival Dubai, especially on female travellers.

To mark the first anniversary of the launch of ISO 20121, the international standard for event sustainability, Positive Impact, has gathered together some of its best resources on the subject. Over the coming months it will be running a series of webinars that link to different areas of event sustainability and ISO 20121. As a management system standard ISO 20121 is essentially a way of formalising ways of working around sustainability. It can be used by anyone involved with events – from the largest global events to small festivals – including venues, suppliers and organisers. Rather than taking a checklist approach, ISO 20121 helps identify the most relevant areas of focus for events. The standard emphasises continual improvement so there’s no need to tackle everything at once.
