In January 2016, the ten ASEAN tourism ministers collectively launched the ASEAN Tourism Strategic Plan (ATSP) 2016-2025 during the 35th ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) held in Manila, the Philippines. The vision of the ATSP is for the ASEAN to become by 2025 a “quality tourism destination offering a unique, diverse ASEAN experience, and being committed to responsible, sustainable, inclusive and balanced tourism development, so as to contribute significantly to the socio-economic well-being of the ASEAN people”.
