You have in your hand a special issue, one that marks the 50th anniversary of both TTG Asia Media as a company and the well-known travel trade title TTG Asia. This milestone is not easy to come by when you consider how vulnerable the travel and tourism industry is to macroeconomic ebb and flow.
Yet, TTG Asia Media and its flagship title have continued to serve Asia-Pacific’s community of industry professionals uninterrupted, even through various crises that impacted travel and tourism. Along the way, the company has expanded its stable of travel trade titles, and established and grown other business divisions to support a wider range of industry organisations and functions.
I like to think that TTG Asia Media’s success is the sum of its people’s contribution. I am so proud to count many brilliant and resilient people as colleagues past and present. In developing this commemorative issue, I gave myself the fun assignment of interviewing some colleagues who play critical functions in the company. I hope their stories will allow you to better know TTG Asia Media and the work we collectively do.
And as we celebrate our Golden Jubilee, we also look ahead to the next decades through the projection of industry leaders and brave imagination of how travel and tourism should and could be.
