Travel Tech Thursdays KL Volume 4: Local Events

✨ How CloudJoi Found Its Mojo — And How You Can Find Joy in Events
In today’s travel landscape, events are more than just entertainment—they’re powerful magnets drawing travellers to places that resonate with passion, culture, and purpose. From mega pop concerts that drive hotel spikes (hello, Swifties 👋) to immersive art and wellness festivals in remote deserts like AlUla, event-led tourism is rewriting destination strategies.

But while the spotlight often shines on global spectacles, it’s the local, indie, grassroots events that truly give a destination its soul—and sustainability. These smaller gatherings celebrate community, creativity, and cultural pride, offering authentic experiences that appeal to the next generation of travellers.

Enter CloudJoi, a homegrown Malaysian startup born during the pandemic to give local artists a voice.
