Top Of The WiT is a grab of the trendiest news that happened this week in travel, tech and Asia – all condensed into a quick-and-easy nugget-sized podcast.
We’re joined by Pete Comeau (Managing Director, PhocusWright) to unpack two reports – one about travel recovery and digital transformation in Southeast Asia, and the other about how Northeast Asia is projected to hit $11B in gross mobile bookings by 2025.
We also discuss the Global Startup Pitch, the lessons learned from last year’s event, and why it’s important to reach out to non-travel tech verticals for this year’s event.
Then, Siew Hoon and Pete reminisce about the now-retired Boeing 747 – the iconic ‘Queen of the Skies’ that revolutionised travel since the 70s and recently delivered its last plane.
Hosted by Arvindh and Siew Hoon
Special guest: Pete Comeau (Managing Director, PhocusWright)
