Day 9

Today was a beautiful day. After 7 days of meetings and traveling all over Asia, we were lucky enough to have some much needed TLC. Although we did not have a formal meeting with any companies, we used this time to reflect and take in all the new experiences and cultures we learned about in our past week. Having experienced alumni also presented the opportunity to further discuss the Thai economy through a more experiences lens. We were also able to explore the tourism industry in Thailand, more specifically Hua Hin. 40% of the GDP is from the tourism industry in Thailand making towns like Hua Hin extremely important. From resorts and hotels to water parks and night markets, Hua Hin has many attractions that draw in tourists from around the world. Tourism hot spots like these ones are critical for the continuing growth in Thailand. We would just like to take a second to thank our amazing coordinators Rebecca and Carly as well as professor Karl Moore for planning this amazing trip and making sure we were always taken care of.

DAY 8

For our first day out of meetings so far on the Hot Cities trip, we had the opportunity to learn about ecotourism in Thailand ecotourism from the Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand.

The WFFT is an NGO founded in 2001 with the goal of rescuing domesticated or captive wild animals and rehabilitating them while campaigning against animal abuse and exploitation.

On the visit, we received a tour of the property, saw a diverse set of animals and listened to their origin stories. We were also educated on ways in which we can appreciate, understand and protect wildlife in their natural habitats.

The main takeaways from the tour included the unintended consequences of our actions on animal life and the environment as well as efforts we can make as individuals to mitigate these effects when returning to our home country. As future leaders, we must learn to champion and implement sustainable practices in order to affect change on a larger scale.

Day 7

Today we visited several companies in Bangkok. We met with Bombardier in the morning. It was great to see how a Canadian business could have such a large impact on the world. We were impressed to see how Bombardier adapts their business to a larger population in Asia with innovative technologies to move bigger groups of people around. After the meeting with Bombardier, we met with BCG and learned about the consulting practice in Thailand. We learnt about how China has an affect on BCG and how the consultants operate differently based on the various cultures in South East Asia. Finally, we visited Shopee and learned that Thailand’s internet and social media usage is one of the highest per capita in the world. This is linked to their 135% mobility rate which means that a large proportion of the population has more than one cell phone. Shopee was able to grow rapidly because they developed their company through a mobile phone application before creating a website. Tonight we are having a group dinner before heading off to Hua Hin

DAY 6:
We began the day with our first meeting at Deutsche Bank where they providinged valuable insights into the Thai markets and economic landscape. Following meetings with Norton Rose and L’oréal, we spent the day sightseeing and ended off with a great boat cruise dinner which gave us the opportunity to get to know the locals so as to better understand the Thai culture through experiencing the delicious cuisine.
