Further East will return to Bali this year from November 4 to 7, gathering and connecting the very best figures in the industry to help shape the world’s most exciting market for luxury travel.
Further East will take place on a Bali beachfront in Seminyak, which has hosted every edition since 2018. It will also focus on how to use regenerative travel, rather than mere sustainability, to draw visitors and empower communities for decades to come.
Featuring only exhibitors from the Asia-Pacific region, organisers This Is Beyond – curators of shows including PURE Life Experiences, L.E/Miami and We Are Africa – remind attendees of their regenerative potential. Serge Dive, This Is Beyond’s founder and CEO, said: “By connecting them with our top buyers and media attending from every corner of the planet, we can bring everyone to the Asia-Pacific region, capturing what’s so extraordinary about these cultures. Because that’s what they deserve.”
Over 50 per cent of exhibitor spaces have been confirmed for Further East 2024, and buyer and press applications will be opening very soon.
“We only select the risk-takers and change-makers,” Dive explained. “The Asia-Pacific region is home to more new luxury hotel openings, year on year, than anywhere else on earth. Many of them join us in Bali. Buyers know they are meeting true originals here.”
The show will retain its intimate sense of doing business differently with sunset drinks, five-star meals, pre-scheduled appointments, exclusive evening events and enough time to recharge in the tropical heat.
Dive shared: “We’re seeking to spark connections between our Further Easters that last for life. To inspire and immerse them in what’s possible. It’s part of the Eastern tradition – sharing ideas and moments that bring us closer, because everything changes constantly, and we need each other to keep up.”
Applications are officially open for Further East this year.
