As a newly listed counter, price discovery still active but the fundamentals are pointing in the right direction. Different business model from typical travel agencies = unique exposure on Bursa.
Investors focus on leisure travel for GDGROUP but the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) segment is a quietly powerful revenue stream. Malaysian corporations doing incentive trips for staff, conferences in regional cities, exhibitions in trade hubs. Higher per-traveler spending than leisure (corporate budgets are less price-sensitive), and recurring annual cycles. GDGROUP's curator model captures MICE volume through travel agent network. Underrated segment with sticky revenue.
Malaysian ringgit has been stable to firm, plus Japanese yen weakness, Korean won softness, Thai baht moderation. Malaysians can travel intra-Asia at very attractive FX rates. Travel demand will spike in the soon future

strong ringgit-to-Asian currencies makes intra-Asia travel attractive, countries like Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand all relatively cheap for Malaysian tourists. Macro setup supports the business
