Top of the WiT 17: Unpacking Asia's travel recovery reports, Global Startup Pitch 2023, Saying Goodbye to Boeing 747

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. 

We're joined by Pete Comeau (Managing Director, PhocusWright) to unpack two reports - one about travel recovery and digital transformation in Southeast Asia, and the other about how Northeast Asia is projected to hit $11B in gross mobile bookings by 2025. 

We also discuss the Global Startup Pitch, the lessons learned from last year's event, and why it's important to reach out to non-travel tech verticals for this year's event. 

Then, Siew Hoon and Pete reminisce about the now-retired Boeing 747 - the iconic 'Queen of the Skies' that revolutionised travel since the 70s and recently delivered its last plane.
