BANGKOK, 22 December 2018: Mekong Tourism launches an aerial video and photography campaign ‘Mekong From Above’ to boost travel awareness in the six-country region.

Mekong From Above invites photo and video enthusiasts to present their best aerial shots that showcase the life and landscapes of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) in Southeast Asia.
The region is made up of Cambodia, China (two provinces – Yunnan and Guang Xi), Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

Aerial photos and videos can be posted on personal Instagram, Twitter and/or YouTube accounts by tagging the posts with #MekongMoments, #MekongFromAbove, and #<Country until March 31, 2019.

Qualifying photos and videos will be classified and presented on the campaign website www.mekongfromabove.com, where public voting will determine candidates for various awards. In addition, an Editor’s Choice Award will be determined by an expert panel of photographers, travel and tourism executives, bloggers, and media, chaired by Knowledge Media Group CEO, Jaffee Yee, the co-organiser and initiator of the “Mekong From Above” contest.

“Aerial photographs and videos with a free-ranging camera on a versatile drone afford otherwise unobtainable vistas and perspectives of the Greater Mekong Subregion’s dramatically beautiful landscape. We are excited to be partnering with Mekong Tourism to showcase these photos and videos with the world,” said Yee.

Final results will be announcement in April 2019.

As part of the campaign, Knowledge Media Group will publish a book, ‘Mekong From Above,’ featuring 180 of the photo entries.
