The major themes include Asianisation, Asianism, Asia’s eventful rise, Asian culture and philosophy, Asia – The global host, Decolonial Asia and tourism. Furthermore, it discusses Asian tourism and regional integration and geopolitics, Arabian peninsula’s economic boom beyond petrodollar, the BTS and K Pop wave in South Korean tourism and the Asian multimodal infrastructure developments in the Asian century.

It makes a profound academic contribution by offering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of the evolving relationship between Easternisation and the tourism industry.
