Burning Questions?
Why should I partner with AST in addition to my outbound sales approach?
Because outbound sales can be noisy and increasingly ineffective.
AST places your solution in front of travel and hospitality decision-makers who are already searching for sustainability partners.
In addition to directories, AST combines editorial credibility, curated visibility, and active matchmaking, so conversations start warmer and closer to your goal.
How is AST Partnership different from other listing platforms or paid directories?
AST is more than just a directory. We are creating an ecosystem.
Hotels and travel businesses come to AST to solve real sustainability challenges, informed by our editorial, webinars, and forums.
Partnership with AST ensures your solution is:
Positioned at moments of active demand
Introduced based on compatibility
Associated with a trusted, independent platform
That translates into higher quality conversations and shorter sales cycles.
What is the time commitment for sustainability providers?
Minimal by design. After onboarding, AST handles visibility and matchmaking. You’re not required to manage campaigns, chase leads, or attend unnecessary meetings.
Your attention is required when we want to highlight a genuine interest or make a high-value introduction.
Is this right for every sustainability solution provider?
No, and that’s intentional.
The AST Partnership Program is best suited for solution providers who:
Serve the travel and hospitality sector
Value long-term partnerships over quick wins
Want visibility with decision-makers in addition to just traffic
If that aligns with your growth strategy, the partnership accelerates access.
If not, a free listing (after vetting) remains available.
What tangible outcomes can partners realistically expect?
Partners typically see:
Increased inbound interest from qualified buyers
Warmer conversations compared to cold outreach
Stronger brand credibility in Asia’s travel ecosystem
More efficient use of BD and marketing time
AST is not a volume-led engine. We built this program for deal quality, positioning, and long-term relationship building.
How much does the Partnership Program cost—and what am I paying for?
Partnerships range from USD 6,000 for six months (Starter) to USD 25,000 for twelve months (Scale).
The three tiers are designed to deliver increasing levels of access, positioning, and credibility, depending on your growth objectives.
For many partners, the investment with AST is lower than a month of outsourced lead generation, while delivering longer-term strategic value in terms of visibility, trust, and deal quality.
Impact Partners
We pledge to plant 1 tree for every newsletter sign-up and 3 trees for every event attendance.
5% of our revenues (not profits) goes into supporting the clean up of rivers and seas in Southeast Asia.
