Southeast Asian hospitality and tourism sectors focus on regional growth

The HoSkar Night event is scheduled to return to Manila on October 29, 2026. Organized by WeHub, the gathering aims to connect real estate developers, investors, and hospitality operators to discuss market shifts and growth strategies in the Philippines and the broader region.

A dedicated seminar for developers will focus on ultra-luxury and wellness trends for 2027. Additionally, the event features a collaboration with Salto to discuss how smart technology can improve energy efficiency and operational performance in the hospitality sector.

In a separate regional development, Tourism Malaysia is conducting industry activities in Ho Chi Minh City to strengthen ties with the Vietnamese travel trade. Led by Director General Mohd Amirul Rizal Abdul Rahim, the initiative supports the Visit Malaysia 2026–2027 campaign. The mission focuses on expanding business cooperation and promoting specific segments such as medical tourism, wellness, MICE, and the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program to Vietnamese travelers.
