meetings at the venue; the first as a member of the ASEAN Hotel and Restaurant Association
(AHRA) in the morning, and the second one as a member of ASEAN Tourism
Association (ASEANTA) that MAH had attended in the afternoon.
AHRA and ASEANTA are both NGOs with members
that are comprised of national associations from all 10 ASEAN members states. The
organizations convene quarterly to discuss matters regarding hotel and F&B
for AHRA and tourism development and growth in the case of ASEANTA. The members took turns to host the meeting and
on the aforementioned date, it was Malaysia’s turn to host which it does at

afternoon, the day continued with a Networking Dinner in the evening hosted by
