GOASEAN TV Launch at ATF 2015
Malaysia's head of NTO, Ong Hong Peng said: "the broadcasts will be available via platforms such as free-to-air, direct-to-home satellite TV service, and pay-TV."
During the ATF 2015 meeting, the ministers also endorsed Malaysia’s proposal for ASEAN NTOs to work closely with industry players in the region to create more ASEAN tourism packages online for promotion within South-east Asia and globally via the ASEAN tourism website.
Ong said: “Both initiatives are in line with the ASEAN Tourism Strategic Plan to promote ASEAN as a single tourism destination.”
Conclusion
Update: The GoAsean website is no longer available, and I often wonder why things like these get abandoned after launching.
This will also be the first time that ASEAN will be involved with a cumulative campaign in promoting the many destinations in the 10 countries via the all-new GOASEAN TV program.
