The Ministry’s Director of Interagency Relations, Kartika Candra Negara, said ASEAN’s focus during this time of crisis is to win back trust from tourists.

ASEAN must demonstrate to travelers its ability to maintain hygiene, health, and safety post pandemic.

“The global community wants to know ASEAN member-states’ strategy and management of the Covid-19 novel virus as well as what has been done by their tourism industry stakeholders,” said Kartika.

Visitseasia.travel features information on Southeast Asia travel and Covid-19 updates, travel advisory, and measures as well as positive results of each ASEAN member-state’s management of the novel virus.
