….. Since 2012, we have awarded 19 grants for social enterprises to expand their businesses. While doing this, we realised that many of them needed help to reach new markets. AirAsia Foundation Executive Director, Yap Mun Ching
She added that the partnership with Malaysia Airports helps provide the social enterprises with an international platform. It’s also a good way of jointly marking ASEAN’s 50th anniversary in a meaningful way.
The Managing Director of Malaysia Airports added his support:
Destination: Good’s main objective of providing platforms for ASEAN social enterprises certainly resonates well with Malaysia Airports’ on several levels.We look at this collaboration as an extension of our CSR efforts to support enterprises from our neighbouring countries. This collaboration also marks yet another initiative by both the airlines and airport operator to improve total airport experience for our passengers. Badlisham Ghazali
