In Asia, there are more than half of the best places for traveling this summer, according to a report published on Monday by the MasterCard Economics Institute.
Tokyo and Osaka headed the list comparing the summer flights for the reservation of 2024 and 2025 to find places that feel the greatest growth in travelers.
The ranking shows the constant interest in Tokyo, which occupies number 2 last year.
Paris – Number 3 in the list that displays Falling travelers in the summer of 2024 Caused by the Summer Olympic Games, then Shanghai at number 4.
Beijing, Seoul and Singapore highlight a list of the best 10-rates from two cities in Spain, Palma de Mallark and Madrid, as well as in Brazil Rio de Janeiro-with two less famous places in Asia, NHA TNG Vietnam and Fukuoka in Japan 11 and 13, respectively.
The report shows that interest in visiting Asian cities is mainly due to Asian, European and American travelers.
Asia also heads the summer trip list for travelers in the Middle East, although increasing interest in Thailand is not Japan. The report shows that summer flights orders from the Middle East travel, which most increased for Bangkok and then New York and then Phuket.
Exchange courses – for some
Tokyo was the most visited city in the world in 2024 because travelers seeking value Japanese yenwhich The weakest level against US dollar since 1986 Last year.
The cushioning of the yen was partially canceled – the currency reached 147.98 on Tuesday relative to the green appeal – but this is probably still a significant factor that causes visitors, according to the MasterCard Institute.
Currency fluctuations are important for Asian travelers than others showed.
The report shows that 1% cushioning increased by 1.5%, increasing visits from mainland China compared to 0.2% of Germany, France and New Zealand.
Similarly, the US dollar drop in the United States has led to a greater visit to the United States from Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea and India, shown in the report.
British travelers, however, are largely impenetrable to currency fluctuations. The report shows that their travel models are stable despite their currency falls in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Switzerland and the USA.
“Analysis of Mei shows the trend: Travelers from Asia are usually more sensitive to the shifts of the exchange rate … (this) element that is noticeable in their outgoing travel planning,” the message reads.
Other travel changes
The report also noted that economic and political factors have moved the benefits of traveling significantly ahead of the summer season.
More people go to Saudi Arabia, in particular to the Jeddu and Eriyad, who pushed government efforts to economic diversification and increase investment and business trips to the country, the report notes.
However, the United States says the US has a decrease in international visits, especially among Canadians.
A report published on April 23 from JPMorgan said that foreign trips to the US showed obvious signs of weakening. In February, international air arrival decreased by almost 5%, despite the expectations that the month would see the growth of foreign visitors, said it was said.
In 2024, foreign expenses in the United States reached $ 215 billion, or about 0.7% of the country’s gross domestic product, JPMorgan estimates. Thus, the fall of foreign travelers by 10% will have less than 0.1% on the growth of gross domestic product, the report said.
“However, the downturn can be significantly felt in the field of tourism and educational sectors: foreigners made up 6% demand for tourism in 2023, and more than 10% for hotels and restaurants, as well as 6% of higher education enrollment.”
In this scenario, weakness in the US dollar can attract more to visit, according to the JPMorgan report.
This may be especially relevant among Asian tourists who made up 40% of foreign travel costs in 2023, the report said.
