BANGKOK, 8 October 2026: The Extraordinary Travel Festival (ETF) confirms Jaime Alemán as a keynote speaker for ETF edition III, taking place 22 to 25 October 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Alemán is the first person in human history to achieve a staggering trifecta of exploration: travelling to all 193 UN member countries; reaching both the North and South Pole; and journeying into space.
His appearance at the Extraordinary Travel Festival offers attendees a rare chance to hear firsthand from one of the planet’s most accomplished contemporary explorers.
“Jaime Alemán embodies the absolute pinnacle of global exploration,” says ETF co-founder Ric Gazarian. “Very few people have been to every country. Even fewer have reached both poles. And only a tiny fraction of humanity has ever travelled to space. To combine all three is extraordinary — and perfectly aligned with the ethos of the ETF.”
About ETF III
ETF III will unite hundreds of the world’s most travelled individuals, including country collectors, overland adventurers, explorers, extreme travellers, and those pushing the boundaries of what it means to experience the world. The event will feature more than 20 speakers, including adventurers who have climbed the Seven Summits, visited every sovereign nation, and explored some of the globe’s most remote corners.
The largest mega-travel clubs will be prominently represented, including Every Passport Stamp (40,000 members), Travel Massive (80,000 members), Pangea, Most Travelled People (40,000 members), and NomadMania (50,000 members), fostering an unparalleled networking environment.
“Our goal is to convene the world’s most passionate travellers in one place,” Gazarian explained. “Bangkok, with its culture and unmatched energy, is the perfect location to host this next edition of the festival.”
ETF III will include keynote talks, breakout sessions, cultural programs, vibrant social gatherings, and a gala dinner. The event has previously drawn international media attention, with coverage in the Wall Street Journal and the Australian Financial Review, both of which have featured ETF in front-page travel stories.
