Indonesia plans to expand its total of international airports by Presidential decree. Thailand fires the regional starting gun for crypto payments in tourism (when will other countries join the race?). Vietnam launches its own 'Superapp' to be rolled out over the next two years. It's been a week of mega-announcements in South East Asia as concerns grow about slowing travel and tourism momentum and looming geo-economic disruptions. Join Gary and Hannah as they travel through ASEAN to discuss the top travel talking points of the past seven days. En route, we look at why Bali's governor says the island doesn't need a casino, and why the Philippines' Minister of Tourism has “nothing but a plastic bullet” to battle other countries for tourists. And finally, why is the free flights giveaway in Thailand proving less popular than hoped for?
