Built for the Leaders Defining Asia’s Travel in 2026


Skift Take

Skift Asia Forum 2026 is where senior leaders shaping Asia’s travel ecosystem come together to stress-test strategy, share insights, and see how decisions in the region ripple across the globe.

Asia is no longer following global travel trends. It is defining them, and the choices made here shape the next wave of global travel. Skift Asia Forum, happening April 28–29, 2026, in Bangkok, is designed for the executives making those choices.

This is not a conference for observers. It is a forum for decision-makers at the intersection of strategy, operations, and innovation. Participants probe strategies under constraints, tradeoffs, and operational friction, leaving with actionable intelligence they can apply immediately.

Who Attends

  • Airlines: Route optimization, network growth, capacity strategy, and connectivity leadership
  • Hospitality: Premium trends, quiet luxury, wellness, and curated experiences
  • Platforms & Technology: Super-apps, AI, creator economies, and demand infrastructure
  • Destinations & DMOs: Visa policy, inbound flows, benchmarking, and growth strategy
  • Investors & Capital Leaders: Market trends, winner identification, and capital alignment

Why This Audience Matters

Skift Asia Forum is cross-industry by design. Airlines, hospitality, platforms, destinations, and investors share the same room because Asia’s challenges cut across the entire ecosystem. Discussions are operator-led, data-informed, and designed to surface tradeoffs, second-order effects, and actionable insights, not consensus narratives.

Participants leave with strategic clarity on how Asia is setting the terms for global travel and what decisions they must make today to lead tomorrow.
