Organised by the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine (DTAM), with TAT, the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) and Phuket Province as co-hosts, the summit will provide an international platform to present Thailand’s healing traditions and travel experiences, supporting the country’s aspirations to become a “Global Health & Healing Destination”.

Held at Angsana Laguna Phuket under the theme “The Science, Art & Soul of Wellness”, the summit should welcome around 600 Thai and international delegates, including wellness industry leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, academics and medical experts. As host destination, Phuket offers established wellness services, natural surroundings and Thai hospitality, while providing a gateway to experiences nationwide.

Her Majesty Queen Suthida Bajrasudhabimalalakshana is scheduled to preside over the official opening ceremony on 11 November and deliver the opening address. The four-day summit will feature international industry discussions, innovation showcases, networking activities and an exhibition of wellness products, services and tourism experiences.

The programme opens on 10 November with delegate welcome activities and evening receptions. Following the royal opening on 11 November, keynote presentations, plenary sessions, panel and roundtable discussions will examine global wellness developments, complemented by networking opportunities.

On 12 November, highlights include a student-focused “Shark Tank of Wellness” competition, the Innovation Lab, and the Gala Evening. The summit concludes on 13 November with additional industry discussions, innovation showcases and the Global Wellness Summit 2027 host destination announcement.

TAT Governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool said: “The Global Wellness Summit in Phuket gives Thailand a valuable opportunity to share its wellness heritage with international industry leaders. Thai wellness combines traditional healing knowledge, nature, cuisine, culture and the genuine care of Thai hospitality. As a co-host, TAT aims to connect these experiences with international markets, creating opportunities for Thai businesses and communities while positioning Thailand as a destination for meaningful travel and wellbeing.”

At the summit, TAT will present “Thailand Wellness Journey: The Ultimate Healing Sanctuary” through a dedicated exhibition booth showcasing wellness routes across Thailand’s five regions. The display brings together traditional medicine, massage, cuisine, cultural heritage and natural resources to highlight Thailand’s potential for physical and mental restoration.

DTAM will present regional Thai massage traditions, herbal products and food-based wellness, while TCEB will showcase Thailand’s international meetings and events capabilities. The Sustainable Tourism Development Foundation will highlight Phuket’s local crafts and cultural heritage.

Asia’s largest travel trade show brought together more than 18,000 participants, over 1,000 exhibiting brands and more than 1,500 qualified buyers, connecting businesses and industry professionals from across the international travel sector.

Co-located with MICE Show Asia and Travel Tech Asia, the event covered leisure travel, MICE, corporate travel and travel technology. 

Under the theme “Experiences in Motion: Human-Centred Design in Travel & Tourism”, the exhibition and conference programme examined how changing traveller expectations, technological advances and experience-led innovation were shaping the future of travel.

A major milestone was the official launch of ITB Asia Select, a new regional initiative designed to extend the ITB Asia brand into selected markets across Asia. Indonesia was announced as the first destination, with ITB Asia Select Indonesia scheduled for 23–24 June 2027 in Jakarta.

International participation connects markets worldwide

More than 80% of exhibiting brands represented international markets across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East. This international presence underlined ITB Asia’s role in bringing destinations, tourism suppliers, buyers and industry decision-makers together in one place.

MICE Show Asia recorded impressive growth of 184% this year, underscoring its growing importance in the region’s business events industry and strengthening ITB Asia’s position as a platform for the international MICE community.

Travel Tech Asia also introduced its Hosted Buyer Programme, connecting technology providers with qualified buyers from the hospitality, attractions, travel agency and travel technology sectors.

The exhibition covered leisure travel, MICE, corporate travel, and travel technology, giving participants opportunities to explore new markets, establish partnerships, and develop business relationships. More than 60,000 pre-scheduled appointments provided a structured setting for exhibitors and qualified buyers to connect, discuss commercial opportunities and build relationships across borders.

ITB Asia Select launches with Indonesia 

ITB Asia 2026 marked the official launch of ITB Asia Select, opening a new chapter in the brand’s regional development. The announcement was formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Messe Berlin Asia Pacific and the Association of the Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA).

The agreement supports the development of ITB Asia Select Indonesia, which will take place in Jakarta on 23 to 24 June 2027, following the rebranding of Travel Meet Asia Jakarta.

The initiative builds on the ITB brand’s international recognition and network, creating additional opportunities to connect Indonesia’s travel industry with international destinations, tourism suppliers, and business partners. It also extends the ITB Asia platform into selected markets, strengthening business engagement opportunities across Asia.

Indonesia is the first market under the ITB Asia Select initiative, with further destinations set to follow.

“ITB Asia continues to demonstrate the importance of bringing the global travel industry together in Asia. This year’s strong international participation, the significant growth of MICE Show Asia and the launch of ITB Asia Select mark important milestones for our business. As the industry evolves, our focus remains on creating meaningful connections and new opportunities for our partners, both in Singapore and across the wider region,” said Messe Berlin Asia Pacific Executive Director, Darren Seah.

ITB Asia introduced new initiatives

ITB Asia continued to evolve beyond the traditional trade show format, introducing new ideas that make the event more seamless, engaging and valuable for participants. These included a pilot off-airport check-in initiative with Changi Airport Group and curated exhibition discovery tours with Woopa Group, where professional tour guides helped attendees navigate the show floor and uncover key highlights. 

ITB Asia returns in October 2027

The three co-located trade shows will return to the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, from 20–22 October 2027. Exhibitors planning to participate in the next edition can take advantage of early-bird rates available until 31 March 2027.

Selected privileges, valued between THB500 and THB2,000, encourage visitors to spend more in Bangkok and destinations nationwide.

Building on the success of the 2024 and 2025 editions, which generated combined tourism revenue over THB81 million, TAT is expanding the campaign’s reach beyond the established ASEAN and Indian markets. 

The 2026 edition also targets travellers from Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, reflecting their potential for shopping and lifestyle tourism.

With this broader approach, TAT targets 30,000 participating tourists, generates at least 10 million campaign exposures, and delivers at least THB244 million in tourism revenue.

According to the 2025 international tourist behaviour survey, 91.05% of international visitors shopped during their trips, with shopping expenditure rising 21.04%. 

Popular purchases included clothing, souvenirs, Thai food products, cosmetics and fragrances.

So far in 2026, ASEAN and India accounted for more than 8.45 million arrivals to Thailand. From 1 January to 30 September, Thailand recorded 23.4 million international arrivals and over 153.96 million domestic trips, generating approximately THB2.04 trillion. 

TAT forecasts 33 million international arrivals and THB2.65 trillion in total tourism revenue by year-end. ASEAN India+ Shoppers in Thailand 2026 supports this outlook while encouraging regional visitors to spend more on shopping and lifestyle experiences across Thailand.

Through the state’s Heal & Explore Selangor initiative, visitors can access high-quality healthcare services while experiencing the state’s rich culture, culinary offerings, natural attractions, and recreational destinations.

Located on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and surrounding Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital, Selangor has a well-connected transportation network that supports international travel. Visitors from Indonesia can fly directly to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), KLIA Terminal 2 (KLIA2), or Subang SkyPark Airport, all of which provide convenient access to hospitals, hotels, and tourist attractions across the state.

As part of its efforts to promote medical tourism, Tourism Selangor participated in the Malaysia Healthcare Expo (MHX) Indonesia 2026 in Jakarta from 15 to 18 October as part of the MedTravel Selangor: Heal & Explore initiative, which promotes integrating quality healthcare services with comprehensive travel experiences.

Healthcare institutions joining the Expo included Sunway Medical Centre, Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC), Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara, KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital, Avisena Specialist Hospital, Ara Damansara Medical Centre, Columbia Asia Hospitals, KPJ Klang Specialist Hospital, and Selgate Healthcare. 

These hospitals and healthcare providers offer a wide range of medical specialities, including comprehensive health screenings, cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, gastroenterology, fertility treatments and IVF, supported by modern medical technology and experienced healthcare professionals.

Selgate Healthcare also plays an important role in expanding access to quality healthcare services throughout Selangor through its extensive healthcare network. Strategic partners such as Le Méridien Petaling Jaya and AirAsia Ride further support the initiative, enhancing the visitor experience through premium hospitality, seamless mobility, and convenient access to medical centres and key attractions across Selangor.

What sets Selangor apart from other medical tourism destinations is its ability to offer a holistic experience that combines quality healthcare with a diverse range of tourism products suitable for every type of traveller. Beyond healthcare and hospitality, family travellers can enjoy attractions such as SplashMania Waterpark, i-City Shah Alam, Skyline Luge, Monkeys Canopy Resort, and Gamuda Gardens Fun Park. In contrast, solo travellers can enjoy café-hopping, food adventures, shopping, and cultural and heritage attractions.

Visitors seeking a more authentic side of Selangor can discover destinations such as Kuala Selangor, Sekinchan, Kuala Kubu Bharu, Jugra, Mah Meri Cultural Village, Puncak Alop, and The Beacon Resort, which offer immersive nature, cultural, and wellness experiences that complement their journey.

As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen healthcare tourism promotion in Indonesia, Tourism Selangor participated in the Malaysia Healthcare Expo (MHX) Indonesia 2026, organised by the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) and held from 15 to 18 October 2026 at Central Park Mall, Jakarta. Through this platform, Tourism Selangor introduced the Heal & Explore Selangor initiative and the MedTravel Selangor: Heal & Explore publication, showcasing Selangor’s healthcare tourism ecosystem, which combines quality medical treatment, premium hospitality, and diverse cultural, culinary, and nature-based experiences for Indonesian travellers.

Chosen from 21 competing destinations, India is demonstrating something increasingly evident across business, technology and international affairs: it is ready and willing to step onto the global podium.

And India has every reason to be proud of what it has achieved.

With a population approaching 1.5 billion, an economy estimated by the IMF at around USD4.15 trillion in 2026, and projected real GDP growth of 6.5% this year, its scale is extraordinary.

Tourism provides another measure of that growing economic power. Indians made 32.83 million overseas departures in 2025, up 6.3% year-on-year. WTTC estimates that Travel & Tourism contributed USD263.6 billion to India’s economy in 2025 and supported 46.2 million jobs. It forecasts India rising from the world’s tenth-largest Travel & Tourism economy to fourth by 2036.

Indian arrivals reached 1.96 million in 2019. After the pandemic interruption, they recovered to 1.63 million in 2023, passed two million in 2024 and reached 2.49 million in 2025, generating approximately THB93.86 billion.

Thailand has a front-row seat to this transformation

India is now firmly one of Thailand’s most important tourism source markets. It supports demand across airlines, airports, hotels, restaurants, attractions, retail, transport and destination services. More importantly, the opportunity is not simply to attract more Indian visitors, but to increase the value generated by each visit.

Then there are weddings

Thailand has become a major international destination for Indian celebrations, hosting more than 400 Indian weddings annually in recent years. The wider Indian wedding and honeymoon market has been valued at more than USD130 billion.

These are high-value, multi-day events involving hotels, restaurants, transport, entertainment and often hundreds of guests. I recall hosting several at The Pattaya Exhibition And Convention Hall (PEACH), Royal Cliff in Pattaya. 

Each wedding can become a temporary economic ecosystem involving resorts, caterers, florists, decorators, photographers, performers, production companies and local suppliers. Guests often extend their stay, spreading spending well beyond the wedding venue.

My own relationship with India goes back many years, particularly through my work with Skål Asia and Skål Thailand. Those responsibilities put me in regular contact with Indian tourism leaders and colleagues and let me experience firsthand the extraordinary depth of the country’s travel and hospitality community.

I was also privileged to speak at a TAFI event, the Travel Agents Federation of India. I remember being particularly impressed by the event’s professionalism and the remarkable camaraderie and support within the Indian travel community.

That sense of community was equally evident at Skål gatherings in India. The quality of the hotels and organisation impressed me, but what stayed with me most was the warmth, confidence and sheer energy of the people involved.

India today has enormous pride in what it has achieved. Cities such as Hyderabad also illustrate another dimension of modern India. A new generation of highly educated young professionals working in technology, IT, digital services and international business is helping connect India ever more closely to the global economy. India has become a powerhouse in information technology while producing business and professional talent increasingly visible on the international stage.

That growing influence is also reflected in the number of Indians and people of Indian origin holding senior positions across multinational corporations, technology companies, international institutions, and global professional organisations. India is increasingly not simply represented at the table. Its people are helping to lead the discussion.

Tourism reflects that same transformation

Last week, at the Skål World Congress in South Africa, NSN Mohan of India was elected World President of Skål International, becoming the first Indian to hold the organisation’s highest office in its 92-year history. His election is another milestone for India and reflects the country’s growing influence and leadership in the global travel and tourism community.

Therefore, bringing WTTC’s world summit to Delhi feels entirely appropriate. India is no longer simply a huge emerging market whose potential lies somewhere in the future.

India: The future is here

For Thailand, there is an important lesson. China will remain fundamental to our tourism industry, but India represents an enormous second Asian engine of growth. Its expanding middle class, improving air connectivity, appetite for international travel and demand for weddings, family holidays, MICE, wellness and premium experiences create opportunities that Thailand is exceptionally well positioned to capture.

Having watched India’s tourism community develop over many years, I would never underestimate its ambition, professionalism or determination.

For Thailand, ASEAN and the wider international tourism industry, the message is straightforward:

India is a force to work with, not simply a sales opportunity; an outbound travel market to tap.

The findings were presented to 1,000 delegates, including more than 200 travel and tourism CEOs and government leaders, attending WTTC’s annual summit.

WTTC’s latest outlook shows that, despite geopolitical and economic uncertainty, global travel and tourism is expected to grow by 2.5% in 2026, outpacing the wider global economy. Europe is forecast to perform even more strongly, with international visitor spending projected to increase by 5.8%, while leisure and business travel spending are expected to grow by 3.1% and 4.2%, respectively.

Travel & Tourism remains one of Europe’s most important economic sectors, supporting around one in 10 jobs across the region and creating opportunities for communities, businesses and destinations.

Globally, the sector contributed USD11.6 trillion to the economy last year, representing 9.8% of global GDP, and supported 366 million jobs – nearly one in every nine jobs worldwide. 

Despite significant geopolitical challenges, WTTC expects the sector to grow 2.5% this year, outpacing the global economy.

In Europe, the outlook is even stronger, with Travel & Tourism forecast to grow 3.1% in 2026. This is a sector that is ready to invest and innovate, but governments must create the right conditions – enabling seamless travel, strengthening connectivity, developing talent and supporting sustainable growth. The choices made today will determine how much of this opportunity Europe captures.

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.
