Tony reflects on PATA’s impressive 65 years of history and also looks ahead to 2050.
Congratulations to PATA on 65 years of creating value through partnerships across the travel and tourism industry in Asia Pacific. A successful tourism industry takes a team effort. PATA’s work to bring governments and industry together has played an invaluable role in the development of Asia Pacific economies.
Travel in 2050
There is plenty to indicate that the current labels that we put on travel - business or leisure - will blur. Air travel is becoming more accessible to more people as average air fares fall and developing nations become more prosperous. Working arrangements are becoming more flexible, creating the potential for diverse and international career paths. This will push boundaries allowing people to explore more of the world, more deeply and over a longer period of their lives. Putting these two trends together points to air travel becoming much more a component of lifestyle than just a conveyance for business or leisure travel. |

| PATA CEO Blog: Intimate Letter to Mother Nature |
|
| Dear Mother Nature. I'm writing to apologise on behalf of humanity and those who have contributed to your poor health. I condemn those who have done it consciously and I hope that they have started their journey towards redemption. For those committing such deeds unconsciously, and making you ill purely out of ignorance, I hope I can make a small contribution by sharing my knowledge and make them aware of how they are affecting you. |
