Top of the WiT 16: Dance of the Golden Lion, believing in sustainability, and million-dollar data hubs
03/02/2023 by WiT

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.

On this week’s episode, we talk about a recent interview with Greenview’s Eric Ricaurte and how holding on to a belief in the future of sustainable travel has made him a “most wanted man”.

Then, we discuss Chinese New Year festivities and how the dance of the Golden Lion can be compared to the travel industry and the skills it had to master during the pandemic.

We also chat about data and how Bookaway Group is investing millions in the creation of Boost – a transportation data hub with huge ambitions.

Hosted by Arvindh and Siew Hoon. Stream us on Spotify.
