Global Tourism Recovery and Trends 2023

Tourism recovery post-COVID-19 continues with most regions expected to fully recover by 2024. Global demand diversified in 2023, with destinations like the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia recovering but at varying speeds. The Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Greece maintain top positions, while Middle East and Africa performed well. Asia's recovery was hampered by connectivity issues, but countries like Japan and India showed significant growth. Caribbean destinations saw strong performance driven by North American markets.

Key Changes in Travel Preferences

• Growing preference for urban and safari tourism, outpacing "sun and beach" destinations by 52% growth in 2023.
• Climate change impacts are limiting summer demand in hotter destinations and boosting interest in cooler regions.
• Luxury travel demand recovered faster in Asia-Pacific, attributed to "revenge tourism," while economy class saw slower recovery in the Americas and Middle East Africa.
• Family groups (3-5 passengers) and couples remain resilient segments, with business travel lagging leisure, except in Europe.

Regional Insights

• Americas: Strong rebound with Colombia and Mexico leading, but seat capacity on flights still below 2019 levels; driven by intraregional travel.
• Europe: Business travel recovery similar to leisure, with Greece showing 3% growth; connectivity issues persist in some areas.
• Asia-Pacific: Faster luxury recovery, with Indian and Chinese markets showing strong rebounds; connectivity bottlenecks and high fares slowed initial recovery.
• Middle East and Africa: Saudi Arabia fully recovered to 2019 levels via initiatives like Vision 2030 and Hajj pilgrimages; Africa benefited from improved long-haul connectivity.
