TOURISM ON TRACK FOR FULL RECOVERY

The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) World Tourism Barometer for Q1 2023 shows international tourism is well on its way to returning to pre-pandemic levels, with twice as many people travelling during the first quarter of 2023 than in the same period of 2022.

Overall, international arrivals reached 80 per cent of pre-pandemic levels in the first quarter of 2023. An estimated 235 million people went on holidays internationally in the first three months, more than double the same period of 2022.

UNWTO said Asia and the Pacific had accelerated its recovery with 54 per cent of pre-pandemic levels, but this upward trend is set to accelerate now that most destinations, particularly China, have re-opened.
