The Asian Poker Tour (APT) has announced its schedule of planned tour dates for the 2020 calendar year, offering what at this time appears to be a 12-event slate. That’s the largest such tour schedule for the APT in some time, stepping up by one from the 11 the Philippines-based tour offers in 2019.

According to an APT presser, the tour’s 2020 edition will return to its most popular destinations, including Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, and Korea, in addition to a couple of new stops. The APT’s General Manager and Executive Tournament Director, Lloyd Fontillas, said, “[W]e have laid out the foundation to make 2020 a fun and exciting year. Players can expect larger guarantees, new events, new destinations, and more players attending each and every event.”

The APT is one of the longest-running poker tours (not counting the venerable but stand-alone Aussie Millions) to serve the Asian Pacific Rim poker market. The APT was launched in 2008, just after the PokerStars-affiliated Asia Pacific Poker Tour debuted in 2007. Together, the two tours established a toehold for traveling poker tours in the region, with the APT firmly positioned as a mid-stakes series offering, something on the order of a Heartland Poker Tour as positioned within the North American market.

To date, nine of the 12 planned APT 2020 stops have been firmed up, with the other three in a “to be announced” status at the present time. Here’s the current schedule for the Asian Poker Tour 2020:
