PATAAt the recently completed 47th Skål Asia Congress in Macau, Skål International signed a MoU with PATA to endorse responsible tourism together in Asia.

 
Participants were reminded of the emerging significance of Asia at this year’s congress, as it snatches a bright spot for the association with declining membership worldwide.

 
To quote Skål Asia president Robert Sohn, “Asia is the only area in the world where Skål International is experiencing strong growth. In the region, we achieved an increase of 14.7 per cent in the number of members, compared to one year ago and currently there are about 2,400 members in 41 Clubs in Asia. This should be noted, since especially the number of members worldwide has decreased.”

 
Since 2017, Skål statistics disclosed that the number of countries with a Skål Club in the world have lessened from 84 to 83, as there was no change to the 19 countries in Asia that has Skal clubs, Sohn emphasized.

 
“Club wise Skål International lost four clubs going down from 359 to 355 clubs while Skal Asia increased its number of clubs from 40 to 41, and in terms of membership Skal Asia increased its numbers by 311 going up from 2,114 to 2,425,” he elaborated.

 
Skål International Delhi took over the responsibility of the largest Skål Club in the world.

 
Work is in progress to open Skål clubs in other countries as well. Lebanon, the UAE and Vietnam are few of the countries which are keen to join Skål Asia. Also, Sohn expects “the opening of many clubs in China will be a reality soon” with collaboration with Skål’s Macau team.
