    THE tourism sector in South-east Asia is getting a boost, as travellers prefer countries in Asean over those in North-east Asia due to the latter's ongoing geopolitical tensions, according to ANZ.

    Continuing civil unrest in Hong Kong, a mainland Chinese ban on individual travel to Taiwan, as well as strained Japan-South Korea relations have dampened tourism.
