The Apprentice Asia, filmed in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, also stars aviation tycoon Tony Fernandes, Fernandes’ advisors – Chief Executive Officer of Tune Hotels Group, Mark Lankester, and Chief Executive Officer of Expedia Asia, Kathleen Tan. Volkswagen provided three of its models – Passat, Sharan and Touareg – to support and provide mobility requirements for contestants and the show’s advisors throughout the 11 episodes.

“The Apprentice Asia gives us an opportunity to feature the character of our products for a fitting partnership that encourages competition.
