A global powerhouse has emerged in the past decade: it’s called ASEAN, or

the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. With more than 600 million
people, the combined population of ASEAN’s 10 member states makes it the
world’s third-largest market. If the region were a single country, it would be the
seventh-largest economy in the world.

But what is the point of creating a regional bloc? Are countries really stronger
when they’re together than when they’re apart?

ASEAN’s growth and stability have made it a top destination for investors and
multinational companies alike. Its emerging middle class is also a draw:
market research firm Nielsen forecasts that the number of people in the
region’s middle-income bracket will reach 400 million by 2020. This is up from
190 million in 2012

Specially in our country we have a lot visitor from other countries, the one visa will help our guide's to
lessen the hustle. One visa is recommended in the ASEAN countries because of it's tourist population.
