Adventurous souls with a love for music, sports, and travel are in for a treat. The latest partnership between Movetix and Ticketmelon brings an exciting opportunity to explore live events across the ASEAN region like never before. Whether it’s to rock out at a concert or catch a major sports showdown, the peripatetic can now do it all with ease through the AirAsia Move app.
Imagine this: booking the flight, hotel, airport transfer, and event tickets all in one place. No more juggling multiple platforms. This integration combines Movetix’s global ticketing expertise with Ticketmelon’s impressive lineup of over 300,000 tickets, giving you access to unforgettable experiences at your fingertips.
“AirAsia Move, our OTA (online travel agency) platform, is not just about booking hotels and flights, but about giving you experiences that you have never dreamt of,” said Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A and Executive Chairman of Move Digital, at the signing of the partnership agreement.
According to a report by Collinson Group, live-events tourism is booming, especially with sports tourism leading the charge. It’s already valued at a massive USD 564.7 billion and is expected to grow to USD 1.33 trillion by 2032. And music tourism? It’s set to more than double, contributing over USD 13.8 billion.
Young people are part of this wave, and now, with the AirAsia Move app, any traveler can effortlessly be a part of iconic events anywhere in ASEAN.
Hassan Choudhury, CEO of Movetix, put it perfectly: “We are in very exciting times, especially driven by the region’s young, dynamic population with increasing disposable income who are part of a growing global fanbase who will spend to travel to iconic live events such as sports and concerts.”
“With the integration of Ticketmelon’s event listings into AirAsia Move, travelers will have unprecedented access to a wide range of concerts, festivals, and events, making it more convenient than ever to plan their entire trip in one place,” Choudhury added.
So for anyone looking to plan a weekend music festival getaway or organize a trip for the next big sports event, this partnership opens up a world of possibilities. The future of travel and event booking is here—let’s move!
