Rethinking APAC Source Market Strategy to Drive Sustainable Growth

The Asia-Pacific travel landscape is entering a new phase of complexity and opportunity, as industry leaders prepare to gather for an upcoming strategic webinar hosted by ITB Asia in collaboration with Simon-Kucher.

As part of the Market Insights and Commercial Strategy Series, the session titled “Rethinking APAC Source Market Strategy” will address the shifting dynamics that are redefining regional travel demand.

A Changing APAC Travel Landscape

Recovery across Asia-Pacific remains uneven. While China’s outbound market continues to show fluctuations, India is rapidly gaining momentum as a key growth driver. Meanwhile, other source markets are evolving—not only in volume but also in value contribution.

Adding to this complexity, geopolitical developments, including tensions in the Middle East, are beginning to reshape travel flows, route accessibility, and airline capacity across major corridors.

Against this backdrop, travel and hospitality stakeholders are being challenged to reassess a critical question: Are current source market strategies aligned with today’s realities?

Focus on Practical Growth Strategies

Moving beyond high-level trends, this upcoming session will offer actionable insights into what truly drives sustainable growth in today’s environment. Participants can expect to gain:

A deeper understanding of how geopolitical shifts are influencing APAC travel flows and accessibility
Insights into how leading organisations are recalibrating their source market mix amid demand volatility
Practical frameworks for balancing volume, yield, and risk across diverse markets
Real-world perspectives on successful strategies and emerging opportunities

Industry Experts Take the Stage

The webinar will feature a panel of experienced industry leaders, including:

Lovrenc Kessler, Senior Partner, Simon-Kucher
Alex Ma, Director, Simon-Kucher
Natalie Kidd, Managing Director Asia, Intrepid Travel

Part of a Larger Industry Series

This webinar is part of a broader initiative by Simon-Kucher and ITB Asia—organised by Messe Berlin Asia Pacific—leading up to the flagship ITB Asia event in October 2026.

As APAC continues to redefine global travel demand, this session presents a timely opportunity for industry stakeholders to refine their strategies and stay ahead in an increasingly complex landscape.
