The post AirAsia Malaysia expands presence in Australia with new route to Darwin appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

AirAsia Malaysia (flight code AK) announces its expansion into Australia with a new route from Kuala Lumpur direct to Darwin, Australia, reinforcing its ongoing commitment to enhancing international connectivity from Malaysia.

Starting 27 June 2025, travellers will have more affordable options to explore the vibrant capital of Australia’s Northern Territory, with four flights weekly. Darwin serves as the perfect gateway to breathtaking landscapes, thrilling adventures, and rich cultural experiences. From the stunning sunsets over Mindil Beach to wildlife encounters at Crocosaurus Cove, or a pathway to experience the spectacular Kakadu National Park, the dual UNESCO World Heritage Listed site, renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich Indigenous culture. The city definitely promises unforgettable experiences for all travellers.

AirAsia Malaysia (flight code AK) is constantly expanding in the Australian markets. Since March 2024, the airline has been flying to Australia for the first time, between Kuala Lumpur and Perth, supporting sister airline AirAsia X (flight code D7) which also flies that route, due to strong demand. AirAsia Group (Malaysia & Indonesia) operates in Perth and Cairns whereas AirAsia X flies to Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. As a whole, the airline serves in four Australian cities and with Darwin joining the network from 22 March from Bali and June from Kuala Lumpur, it will become its fifth destination in the country.

Over the last year, the airline has carried over 600,000 passengers between both countries. The new Kuala Lumpur-Darwin route further reinforces AirAsia’s commitment towards boosting tourism between Malaysia and Australia. This milestone marks a significant step in the airline’s international expansion, further driving tourism, trade, and cultural exchange between both nations.

Minister for Trade, Business and Asian Relations, Robyn Cahill OAM commented: “We welcome this important milestone for AirAsia to reconnect Darwin with the global capital city of Kuala Lumpur.  This will not only improve air accessibility and affordability for Territorians, but will make it easier to invest, visit and do business in the Territory.

“AirAsia is consistently recognised as amongst the world’s best low-cost airlines, so their decision to invest in Darwin reinforces our bright economic future. Air connectivity is a priority for the Territory, so we will now be focused on working with all airline partners to ensure all flights see strong commercial outcomes.

“We are sending a clear message that we are open for business and that we are well placed to advance trade, investment and strategic partnerships in Southeast Asia.”

Dato’ Captain Fareh Mazputra, CEO of AirAsia Malaysia said: “We are thrilled to launch our very first flight to Darwin, creating greater opportunities for both leisure and business travellers to explore one of Australia’s most vibrant and unique destinations. At the same time, we are opening a new gateway to Asia and beyond for ‘Territorians’ in the Top End of Australia.

“As adventure travel continues to grow in popularity, we see Darwin as a hidden gem for Malaysians and travellers across Southeast Asia, offering a distinctive experience beyond the usual tourist hotspots. With our seamless Fly-Thru services via Kuala Lumpur, Darwin is now more accessible than ever for travellers from key markets within our network, including Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, China, Cambodia, South Korea, and beyond.

“Our commitment to enhancing connectivity across our core markets aligns with our goal of providing affordable travel options and making Asia more accessible to everyone. We deeply appreciate the support of our stakeholders, including the government and airport authorities, in strengthening tourism opportunities between both capitals. We look forward to expanding our presence and bringing our world-class services to this beautiful part of Australia.”

Rob Porter, Executive General Manager, Airports for Airport Development Group welcomed AirAsia Malaysia and said this service is a significant win for the Territory: “We are thrilled to welcome AirAsia Malaysia to Darwin, re-establishing a much-needed low-cost connection between the Top End and Asia. This route directly responds to demand from our community, who have long called for more affordable travel options to key destinations like Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and India.

“Beyond offering greater choice for Territorians, this new link will also strengthen inbound tourism, supporting local businesses and cementing Darwin’s position as a key international gateway. We look forward to working closely with AirAsia to grow this service and explore future opportunities for expansion.”

Suzana Bishop, Chief Executive Officer of the Department of Tourism & Hospitality, Northern Territory Government, commented: “We are excited to embrace AirAsia Malaysia as part of Darwin’s growing aviation network, creating more opportunities for international travellers to explore the Top End of Australia.

“AirAsia Malaysia’s inaugural launch into Darwin offers visitors unique opportunities to immerse themselves in the Northern Territory’s iconic landscapes, deep cultural heritage and local experiences. From breathtaking national parks and thrilling wildlife encounters to dark sky stargazing, this new connection unlocks a diverse range of unforgettable experiences for our emerging Asian markets and beyond.”

To celebrate this incredible milestone, AirAsia is offering special promotional fares with flights between Kuala Lumpur and Darwin  going on sale from as low as RM299* all-in one way while the return route from Darwin to Kuala Lumpur starts from AUD189* all-in one way.

The post UN Tourism and Germany pave the way towards inclusive employment and accessibility appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

UN Tourism has joined the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to shift the mind-sets of destinations and businesses regarding workers and customers with disabilities.

Putting inclusive tourism in the spotlight

1.3 billion people live with a significant disability worldwide, with 80% of them living in developing countries and emerging destinations. When people with disabilities do travel, they are accompanied by 2 to 3 other people. Including accessibility in a business strategy entails new sources of revenue and better economic performance.

Yet despite progress in recent years, discrimination and other barriers still prevent people with disabilities from travelling or working in tourism.

Many job applicants with disabilities don’t see tourism as a viable career path; Businesses are missing out on immense resources of workforce talent and new clients.

Highlighting solutions for the inclusive employment and better access

UN Tourism and BMZ came together at ITB Berlin 2025 to raise awareness of the wide range of benefits of accessible tourism; They called for a more inclusive sector through international cooperation – to create more jobs, open up travel to more people and build more resilient communities.

A tourism that:

• fosters awareness of the benefits of implementing accessibility, not as a charity – but as a long-term investment;
• engages in social and digital innovation benefitting people and communities; and
• better serves this billion-dollar market of consumers and employees.

The joint event at ITB brought together industry leaders to discuss approaches for creating better workplaces and services in tourism for all, in developed and emerging economies.

A report is also planned to showcase good practices promoted in Berlin; These include examples from Albania, Austria, Ecuador, Germany, India, Jordan and Morocco, as well as international success stories championed by the World Sustainable Hospitably Alliance, Amadeus, European Network for Accessible Tourism and European Disability Forum.

The recommendations, to be also published within the report, will focus on:

1. working with end-users with disabilities to understand their needs;
2. building a business case of accessibility;
3. upskilling employees; and
4. adapting job descriptions and workplace environments so people with disabilities can directly apply to work in hospitality.

Over the course of an unforgettable week, One Rep Global’s annual invite-only roadshow has helped in forging invaluable connections between global hospitality leaders and India’s most discerning travel professionals.

Spanning New Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai, the exclusive roadshow provided a powerful platform for nine renowned global brands—Nobu Hotel London Portman Square, Kulm Hotel St. Moritz & Grand Hotel Kronenhof, Intercontinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort, Losinj Hotels and Villas, VIT Travels, De L’Europe Amsterdam, Galeries Lafayette, Courchevel Tourism Board, and Regent Hotel Canggu Bali—to engage in deep, meaningful conversations with India’s elite luxury travel stakeholders. Every element of the event, from strategic B2B workshops to intimate networking sessions, was meticulously crafted to inspire transformative partnerships and set a new benchmark in luxury representation.

Reflecting on the success, Hemant Mediratta, Founder & CEO of One Rep Global, shared: “This roadshow wasn’t merely about meetings; it was about the art of storytelling—curating experiences that resonate with the future of luxury travel. The enthusiasm and insights shared throughout this event have not only reaffirmed our belief in the immense potential of the Indian market but have also set a new benchmark in strategic luxury representation.”

One of the most talked-about moments of the roadshow was the unveiling of One Rep Global’s official mascot—an elephant symbolizing wisdom, endurance, and trust—values that reflect both One Rep Global and the world of luxury hospitality. The unveiling was a defining moment, reinforcing the company’s commitment to building lasting, meaningful connections within the industry.

For destinations looking to expand their reach in India, the roadshow proved to be an invaluable platform. Alexia Laine, Managing Director, Courchevel Tourisme, shared her thoughts: “The One Rep Global Roadshow was an incredible platform for us to engage with India’s top-tier luxury travel professionals. As a premier ski and lifestyle destination, Courchevel thrives on exclusivity and tailored experiences, and this event ensured that we connected with exactly the right partners. The quality of discussions, the depth of market insights, and the strategic approach of One Rep Global have reinforced India’s potential for us. We look forward to strengthening our relationships and welcoming more Indian travelers to Courchevel.”

An intimate Fireside Chat, moderated by Hemant Mediratta, brought together global hospitality leaders who offered forward-thinking insights on the evolving landscape of luxury hospitality, the unique preferences of the modern Indian traveler, and the transformative power of personalized experiences. This engaging session, combined with exceptional networking opportunities, provided attendees with invaluable industry perspectives and ignited transformative dialogue.

For emerging destinations, the event also proved to be a game-changer. Lara Soldičić Vodarić, Director of Sales – Leisure & Corporate, Lošinj Hotels & Villas, reflected on the experience: “As a relatively undiscovered destination for the Indian market, Lošinj Hotels & Villas approached The One Rep Global Roadshow with great anticipation—and it exceeded our expectations. The resilience and curiosity of Indian travelers, coupled with the expertise of the agents we met, reaffirmed that India is ready for new and unique luxury experiences. The quality of connections, the thoughtful curation of meetings, and the passion of the industry professionals we engaged with were truly exceptional. We are excited to introduce Lošinj to this dynamic market and build long-lasting partnerships.”

For those who attended, the experience was both inspiring and transformative, quietly reaffirming One Rep Global’s unparalleled leadership in luxury travel representation. And for those who couldn’t join, the buzz and whispered accolades have already sparked anticipation for next year’s edition.

As we close this chapter, One Rep Global continues its mission to elevate luxury travel—ensuring every interaction evolves into a story worth telling. This event has set the stage for an even brighter future in the realm of luxury hospitality representation in India. We eagerly look forward to welcoming new partners and trailblazers next year as we continue to shape the future of luxury travel.

A game-changer

With Klook’s No Bloom No Gloom policy, disappointed travellers can get discounts in the event that no cherry blossoms appear during their trip.

In order to avail of the guarantee, would-be travellers need to book one of Klook’s seasonal Japan tours found on the No Bloom No Gloom campaign page.

In the event that they do not see any cherry blossoms during your tour despite the forecasted bloom schedule, they need to take a photo and submit it to Klook through the form featured on the campaign page together with other requirements stipulated therein.

Details must be submitted by 23:59 (GMT+8) on 6th April, and eligible users will receive a promo code of up to 50 percent off their next tour booking with a one-year validity period.

Klook is also offering up to 4x KlookCash for tours, hotel, car rental, and transportation bookings in select destinations during the campaign.
