PATA Youths, We did ALL of this together in 2020!

We hope you are taking a well-deserved break for the holidays! Curl up and get cozy with our 4 favourite events from 2020 – these were our most engaging, most impactful and most inspiring moments.

No.1 - PATA Youth Webinar: The impact of COVID-19 on the tourism industry in Asia and post-recovery strategies was our most watched video on PATA TV with a total of 4.6K views on Youtube, providing insights of how the global pandemic affects tourism & travel in East Asia & The Pacific and how the youth adapt and prepare themselves for future crisis similar to COVID-19.

No.2 - With a total of 1693 registrations, 800 live attendees and an astronomical 12.9K overall reach on Facebook, the PATA Youth Workshop: The Art of Communicating Sustainability was a roaring success where our mentors from Khiri Reach and GSTC shared best practices for effective communication.

No. 3 - Dr Taleb Rifai - The former Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) was our special guest on PATA Youth Fireside Chat for a riveting 45-minute discussion about the core values of travel, what he believes is most important as a leader and how to promote local and international tourism with a human-centric focus.

No.4 - PATA Youth Symposium - PART 4 'Getting a Job in a Post COVID 19 World' was an inspiring panel discussion with HR Experts from Agoda, Mintor Hotels and Visa speaking on skills that the youth must equip themselves with, how to prepare for an interview and what they should learn during this COVID-19 crisis to get ready for work and life.

And... THAT'S A WRAP for 2020. Thank you so much for an unforgettable year! We cannot wait to share with you what is installed for 2021.

Until next year,
Aletheia Tan
