Webinar | International Visitor Arrivals into Asia Pacific in 2020 and Expectations for 2021

  • Time Zone: GMT+7, ICT (map)

With COVID-19 having decimated international travel and tourism in 2020, attention is now being focused on when and where any sort of recovery might appear, no matter how tentative, at first.

The latest update to the PATA forecasts of travel demand between 2021 and 2023 is currently being compiled, with some notable differences from the format of previous years. In particular, given the prevalent uncertainties, the time frame has been reduced to three years, while a lack of any substantive data for 2020 has required the adoption of scenario-based possibilities even more important.

Even under these difficult circumstances, it is still worthwhile considering and planning for a range of possible futures, especially with respect to the direction and momentum of potential growth in international travel. 

This webinar offers a sneak preview on what some of these possible growth scenarios are likely to be for Asia Pacific destinations in the coming years to 2023.

What you'll learn:

  • Where the world economy stands today under Covid-19 constraints

  • What the current position of global international tourism is in 2020

  • How that translates to the Asia Pacific position in 2020

  • What are the best early estimates of Asia Pacific growth in 2021, 2022 and 2023

  • How will these future growth scenarios link with the SDGs

  • What mitigating factors are likely to impact these projections
