Skift Take
Local leadership with a global lens is what will define the next phase of growth in Asia’s travel and hospitality industry.
As we prepare to bring our community together in Bangkok next week for the Women Leading Travel Asia Global Leadership Exchange, we’re continuing to spotlight the leaders shaping the industry across the region.
This week, we feature Samantha Marion, Director of Global Partnerships at the Asian Institute of Hospitality & Management and a Women Leading Travel Ambassador in Bangkok. In this conversation, Samantha shares her perspective on building meaningful global partnerships, developing the next generation of hospitality leaders, and what it takes to lead with intention in a rapidly evolving travel landscape.
Her insights reflect the kind of thoughtful, on-the-ground leadership we’re proud to elevate as part of this community—particularly in a market as dynamic and influential as Asia.
Watch the full conversation below to hear Samantha’s take on leadership, growth, and where she sees the industry heading next.
We’re looking forward to continuing this dialogue in person in Bangkok.
