Malaysia, 27th September 2021 - In conjunction with the celebration of World Tourism Day with the theme “Tourism for Inclusive Growth”, PATA Malaysia Taylor's Student Chapter (PATA MTSC) collaborated with PATA Student Chapter Temasek Polytechnic Singapore, PATA Student Chapter Lombok, PATA Student Chapter Philippines Enderun and the School of Hospitality, Tourism and Events (SHTE) organizing a virtual Forum on ‘Tourism in Post Pandemic Era’ on 27th September 2021.

This forum is not like any other forum because the panel speakers for the forum are representatives from the PATA student chapters. All panel speakers shared their views on the impact of COVID 19 on tourism and hospitality industries, the recovery strategies and new transformation that should take place in the future for tourism development in their respective countries. This was the first collaboration between these four PATA student chapters and the idea was initiated by PATA MTSC.

Around 170 participants attended the forum, and it was a good virtual session with participation from the audience, especially during the Q&A session that was moderated by Dr. Puvaneswaran Kunasekaran, Senior Lecturer, Taylor’s University. Prior to this forum, the student chapters organised a travel photo contest from 10th -25th September 2021 and the winners were announced during the forum. There was also a cultural sharing activity among these student chapters on 24th September 2021 to explore the diversity of the culture among these four countries. These series of activities for World Tourism Day brought the student chapters together and initiated a good start for connecting with more students from around the region.

Congratulations to the organizing team for hosting the forum and looking forward for more future collaborations with other student chapters!
