Tourist arrivals in the APAC are expected to lag the recovery posted by other regions, with travelers still deterred by the frictions associated with international travel, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization. READ:
In a statement on Monday, the UNWTO said the 2022 projection is contained in its World Tourism Barometer report.
“More recent challenges such as staff shortages, severe airport congestion and flight delays and cancellations could also impact international tourism numbers,” the UNWTO said. The Health department on July 29 announced the detection of the first monkeypox case in the country, involving a 31-year-old Filipino.
“International tourism saw a strong rebound in the first five months of 2022, with almost 250 million international arrivals recorded. This compares to 77 million arrivals from January to May 2021 and means that the sector has recovered almost half of pre-pandemic 2019 levels,” the UNWTO said.
