THE STORY OF FURTHER EAST
Our ambition with Further East is to become the most influential trade event shaping the way luxury travel in APAC is sold to the world.

Our Vision
With a mission to create a one-of-a-kind marketplace – celebrating travel in APAC in all its rich diversity – the first edition of Further East hit Seminyak beach in November 2018, instantly creating a dynamic new community in an incomparable location.
Originally created to spotlight authentic Asia, Further East has now expanded its scope to include the wider APAC region, as we work to showcase this special region.
While the community grows bigger, the hand-curated guest list and unique creative atmosphere will ensure it is still a travel trade experience like no other.
Our CEO & Founder
Further East is the latest in a long line of disruptive ventures from This is Beyond – and founder Serge Dive.
Discover why Dive decided to launch his latest global community in Asia – and what makes the Further East experience so unique.
Our Community
Attending Further East means becoming part of our incredible community. Meeting and mingling with fellow innovators and learning directly from the visionaries changing the face of high-end travel in the APAC region is what makes doing business at Further East so beneficial. But we’ll let our community speak for themselves. Hear what they had to say about their week on in the beach in Bali at our 2022 show.
