It’s been a while - six years, to be exact - but Skift Asia Forum is finally making its return. And honestly? The timing couldn’t be more perfect.
Set to take place May 14–15, 2025, in Bangkok, this year’s forum lands right as Asia’s travel scene is booming back to life. From packed airports to skyrocketing hotel demand, the region is buzzing in a way we haven’t seen since before the pandemic.
So yeah, this isn’t just a comeback. It’s a reset. And Skift is right where it needs to be to lead the conversation.
If you’ve been paying attention to travel headlines lately, you’ll know that Southeast Asia is on fire, in a good way.
Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam are seeing massive tourism rebounds. China’s business travel is bouncing back fast, visa-free travel across parts of Asia is opening doors, and travel companies are scrambling to keep up with demand.
Whether it’s leisure or business, Asia is back in a big way, and growing fast.
2025 feels like the turning point; this is where the future of travel is being written, and Skift wants to make sure the right people are in the room.
There’s something symbolic about hosting Skift Asia Forum in Bangkok.
It’s not just a beautiful, bustling city (though, let’s be honest, the food alone is worth the trip). Bangkok is a key hub, where travel innovation is happening on the ground, and where the region’s rapid growth is most visible.
It’s also a place that’s seen its fair share of challenges and is now emerging stronger and smarter. Just like the industry itself.
This year’s speaker lineup is stacked. We’re talking C-level execs and major players from across the travel ecosystem:

At Skift Asia Forum 2025, the real ROI is in the room. This is where the region’s most forward-thinking executives, operators, investors, and disruptors meet, not just to listen, but to connect.
Whether it’s curated roundtables, dynamic coffee breaks, or spontaneous hallway conversations, Skift Asia Forum is designed to foster meaningful relationships that last well beyond the event.
In a travel landscape that’s constantly shifting, proximity to the right people is not just a bonus. It’s your strategic advantage.
After six years, Skift Asia Forum is coming back at the exact right moment. If Asia is the future of travel, this forum is where that future is being mapped out.
