Dedicated exclusively to showcasing the most innovative luxury travel products in Asia Pacific, Further East is returning to Bali from November 7-10 for a third edition, to introduce new trends and ways of navigating the new era of luxury travel and shine a light on inbound travel to Asia Pacific.
The event is organised by This is Beyond, the company behind the well-renowned PURE Life Experiences, LE Miami and We Are Africa, and includes four days of exciting beach-front festivities in Bali. With the reopening of travel in Asia Pacific, supplier spaces are already almost sold out and majority of buyers have already confirmed their attendance at least three to six months prior to the event.
This is Beyond are predicting a new record in terms of attendance as the reopening of travel sees global interest to explore the APAC region reach new heights. More buyers from the global, as well as Asian markets are expected to join this November; the current buyer attendance from Asia Pacific stands at 24% compared to 29% from North America (Canada included) and 35% from Europe, signaling the return of strong global interest in Asian Luxury Travel products. Up to 450 Asia-Pacific focused global buyers and suppliers in the region will partake in this event. 2022 will also mark Further East’s expansion to include new luxury exhibitors encompassing the entire Asia Pacific region – many of which are well attuned to wellness and sustainability.
