The future of travel is being shaped across Asia and the leaders driving that transformation will come together later this month in Bangkok for our inaugural Women Leading Travel Asia Global Leadership Exchange – now officially sold out.
This invitation-only gathering will convene senior leaders from across aviation, hospitality, destinations and technology for a high-impact day of executive dialogue and connection. We’ll open with a fireside conversation featuring Shalini Rao, CMO of Bangalore International Airport, and Carolyn Kremins, President of Skift.
A powerhouse panel will follow, bringing together Narawadee Bualert, President of lebua Hotels & Resorts; Nadia Zahir Omer, CEO of AirAsia MOVE; and Aayusha Prasain, CEO of Community Homestay Network, for a candid conversation on leadership across the region.
Spotlight talks will feature Candice D’Cruz, Vice President of Luxury Brands, Asia Pacific at Hilton, and Kamonwan Wipulakorn, Managing Director of Bound and Beyond. And our newest advisory board member, Laura Houldsworth, Managing Director and Vice President, Asia Pacific at Booking.com, will add her perspective as a member to the program.
Together, these leaders represent a dynamic cross-section of the region — offering real-world insight into growth, transformation and leadership in one of the world’s most complex and fast-moving travel markets.
