What you might not know about Asia Pacific… • China has more millionaires than Britain or France • The Indian middle class is larger than the entire population of the Middle East • More than 3,500 languages and dialects • Seven APAC markets biased due to national carriers being owners of Abacus • Three markets remain closed or semi-closed due to local CRS dominance and market regulation • Unique cultural differences
