Pattararawan added “IR team’s actions successfully protected and restored shareholder’s value during the unexpected event. The COVID-19 crisis marks the most challenging situation that the company has ever faced. In 2021, we were keeping ourselves afloat, coupled with efficient capital management to conserve cash flow. Therefore, we needed to be enthusiastic about adapting strategies and operations to the ever-changing circumstances. Besides, we had to elevate our health and safety protocols to build confidence in travel while seeking out new business opportunities.”
