World Cup 2026, Roland-Garros 2026, Wimbledon 2026 and Formula 1™ packages now available on Klook

SINGAPORE, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Klook, a leading pan-regional experiences platform in Asia Pacific, today announced the expansion of its offerings to include sports and live events, bringing together four of the world's most iconic sporting properties: World Cup 2026, Roland-Garros 2026, Wimbledon 2026 and Formula 1™. The launch adds Sports and Live Events to Klook's wealth of experiences, connecting fans to premium matchday access.

The expansion is timed to meet a measurable shift in traveler behavior. Findings from Klook's Travel Pulse 2026 reveal that mega-events have become catalysts for travel. Data shows that one in five global travelers now plan their entire vacation around a specific event, with 25% specifically citing sporting matches as their main travel motivator.

How events are reshaping travel behaviors:

• 91% of fans use mega-events as a springboard for a longer trip. Rather than a "fly-in, fly-out" approach, 41% of travelers extend their stay by at least three days to explore local attractions and hidden gems.
• Due to the high-stakes nature of live events, these travelers are more decisive. Nearly half of the fans now secure event tickets one to six months in advance, creating a longer window to facilitate the rest of their travel needs, from local transport to curated tours.

"The World Cup, Roland-Garros, Wimbledon, Formula 1™ — these are the most iconic sporting events that fans build their year around, and they're increasingly becoming reasons for people to travel. Bringing all four onto our platform means fans can build the complete trip around them, from premium hospitality and match access to local tours, transport, connectivity, and more. That's the depth we've always been bringing to the experiences space, enabling travelers to uncover what makes a destination come alive, now on the world's biggest stages," said Nathan Szabo, Head of Western Supply and Strategic Partnerships, Klook.

Der Asset Manager GAM stellt die Weichen für eine Neuaufstellung seines Verwaltungsrats. An der ordentlichen Generalversammlung vom 12. Mai 2026 in Zürich sollen die Aktionäre über ein weitreichendes Paket an personellen Veränderungen abstimmen, das im Rahmen der Nachfolge- und Kontinuitätsplanung erarbeitet wurde. Im Zentrum steht der Vorschlag, den bisherigen Verwaltungsrat Anthony Maarek als Präsidenten des Gremiums zu wählen und damit die Nachfolge des nicht mehr zur Wiederwahl antretenden Amtsinhabers Antoine Spillmann zu regeln.

Neben Maarek beantragt der Verwaltungsrat die Wiederwahl der bisherigen Mitglieder Inès de Dinechin, Anne Empain und Donatella Ceccarelli. Neu in das Gremium einziehen sollen Group CEO Albert Saporta, der seit Juli 2025 an der operativen Spitze von GAM steht, sowie der Investmentexperte John Niel als nicht-exekutives Mitglied mit Schwerpunkt auf Technologie, Telekommunikation und digitalen Plattformen. Alle Mandate sind bis zum Abschluss der ordentlichen Generalversammlung 2027 befristet.

Im Zuge der Neubesetzung verzichten neben Spillmann auch Carlos Esteve und Jeremy Smouha auf eine Wiederwahl. Der Verwaltungsrat soll künftig aus sechs Mitgliedern bestehen, gleichermassen verteilt auf drei Frauen und drei Männer. Nach Einschätzung des Unternehmens verbindet die vorgeschlagene Struktur Fachkompetenz, Erfahrung und Unabhängigkeit mit einer ausgewogenen Geschlechtervertretung. Die Integration von CEO Saporta als exekutives Mitglied soll zugleich die Verzahnung von operativer Verantwortung und strategischer Steuerung vertiefen.

Nicht folgen will der Verwaltungsrat einem alternativen Antrag eines Aktionärs, der die Wahl von Benedetta Arese Lucini anstelle von Anne Empain fordert. Verwaltungsrat und Nominationsausschuss empfehlen den Aktionären, diesen Gegenantrag abzulehnen und die vom Gremium vorgeschlagene Besetzung zu bestätigen. Die detaillierten Unterlagen zur Generalversammlung will GAM am 20. April 2026 veröffentlichen. Die Vorschläge spiegeln nach Angaben des Unternehmens auch das anhaltende Engagement des Hauptaktionärs für die langfristige strategische Entwicklung von GAM wider.
