With the logo and campaign, Asean hopes 121 million travellers will visit the region in 2017, an increase from 108 million in 2015. The tourism campaign highlights the 50 best festivals and 50 places which will be unforgettable experiences for travellers to the 10 member states, the Asean Secretariat in Jakarta said.
