Listen now
Description
Top Of The WiT is a grab of the trendiest news that happened this week in travel, tech and Asia - all condensed into a quick-and-easy nugget-sized podcast.  We're joined by Pete Comeau (Managing Director, PhocusWright) to unpack two reports - one about travel recovery and digital transformation in Southeast Asia, and the other about how Northeast Asia is projected to hit $11B in gross mobile bookings by 2025.  We also discuss the Global Startup Pitch, the lessons learned from last year's event, and why it's important to reach out to non-travel tech verticals for this year's event.  Then, Siew Hoon and Pete reminisce about the now-retired Boeing 747 - the iconic 'Queen of the Skies' that revolutionised travel since the 70s and recently delivered its last plane. Hosted by Arvindh and Siew Hoon Special guest: Pete Comeau (Managing Director, PhocusWright)
