What’s happening in Asian tourism?

admin — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:49:32 +0000

Tour operators, hotels and airlines are bracing for a rocky 2009 as the global financial crisis hits long haul travel. Asia has been experiencing a travel boom with a massive range of geography from the snow-capped Himalayas to some of the best beaches in the world. But last year saw a drop in numbers. This year, negative growth is expected all round. Let’s put this in context. The United Nation’s World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) showed the loss of tourism business most strongly in the Asia-Pacific region as compared to the Americas, the Middle East, Europe and Africa.

This is echoed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) which is warning that global airlines are facing possible collapse as revenues fall. The consequence is that between 300,000-400,000 jobs are at risk in air transport, travel and tourism sectors. Why is the fall so bad in Asia? The answer is this is not simply an economic problem. Tourism was doing well in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Macao until the news media began carrying stories of political and other problems. There was a major protest in Thailand that shut down Bangkok’s airport for a week. As a result, more than a million tourists cancelled their bookings.

In India, the terrorist attack in Mumbai was directed at the top hotels and the tourists, and the result has been a general drop in travel to all Indian destinations, even those pure tourism areas like Goa – bookings down 25%. Sri Lanka has become a war zone in the public’s imagination and Macao’s visitor numbers have been affected by a cutback in the number of visas issued by China. These destinations are now anxiously courting business through promotional prices. Even the best hotels in the most favored destinations are discounting.

In places like Singapore and Hong Kong, room occupancy is down to around two-thirds and, to maintain their competitiveness, there are a whole range of incentives for those prepared to make longer journeys. In short, there has never been a better time to think of planning a holiday in Asia. Although there will be some security concerns – everyone wants to relax when they are on holiday – the region is once again calm and anxious to rebuild its tourist business.

With support from their governments, all the airlines carrying tourists to Asia are offering cheap air tickets. Because room occupancy rates across the region are way down, there are genuine bargains to be had for both short and long-stay holidays. If you are prepared to invest a little time in researching the market, you will be able to find amazing value. How do we know? Because the regional tourist boards are forecasting 3% growth in numbers over the next three years. The hotel and restaurant trade and the airlines are integral parts of the regional economy. Governments are dipping into their reserves to encourage more tourism. In real terms, there has never been a better chance of finding cheap air tickets than over the next six to eight months.

Big Island, Hawaii Promotes Health & Wellness Travel

Because of the rise in wellness tourism business owners on the Big Island of Hawaii have got together to promote a travel initiative that they collectively hope will prove so successful that it will eventually be adopted by the rest of the state. The Hawaii Island Wellness Travel Association, composed of 120 business owners and holistic professionals, has set up a meeting with both the Big Island Visitors Bureau and Hawaii island County officials to take the initiative further at which they hope to agree marketing strategies, develop effective packaging and adopt a set of rules for health and wellness travel to Hawaii islands, which they regard as a booming business.

Big Island Hawaii

As recently as 2005 almost $50,000 was set aside by Hawaii Tourism Authority to be used to quantify how well wellness tourism could be developed in the archipelago. A leading research company was approached to produce a comprehensive study of the health and wellness tourism market for the state of Hawaii. However, significant progress stalled once the report had been produced, and only now, some two years later, is the idea being re-launched.

One of the most vociferous proponents and advocates of wellness tourism Lew Whitney, co-founder of the Kokolulu Farm and Qigong Center based in North Kohala said: “We’ve been trying for years to persuade the Hawaii Tourism Authority that this (wellness) offers a great opportunity for the whole state of Hawaii and not just the Big Island.” Over the last nine years the Center has offered a range of cancer retreats and meditative healing programs and Whitney admits that it has been a struggle getting the message across to tourism chiefs. However, Whitney highlights that the Center, located on the northern tip of the Big Island, has been successfully trading for almost 10 years, and with little promotional help from the Hawaii Tourism Authority has managed to remain in business, albeit with the help of some charitable contributions.

Indeed, leading research group Mintel produced a comprehensive Market Research document which looked at wellness tourism being offered throughout the world in places as far flung as Japan, Hungary, India, Austria and Thailand. It concluded, amongst other things that markets were expanding as more and more people, of all ages, made their vacation choices based on health and wellness travel demonstrating that that the sector had a bright future.

As more people take to using alternative and natural remedies, tying wellness into hotel deals in Hawaii could herald a bold new initiative that in the long run may well add an extra string to the already well developed tourism bow for the state. (By Adam Singleton)

Mauritius, The Tropical Island Holiday Paradise

admin — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 12:18:11 +0000

For many people, the process of deciding where to go for a romantic beach holiday is almost as much a part of the holiday experience as the holiday itself. Investigating and researching the countless places in the world to go for those 2-weeks in the sun, and the anticipation and excitement that this creates, only adds to the exhilaration that already exists when jetting off on that well-earned vacation.

But with so much of the world now exposed to the rigours of travellers and tourism, it isn’t as easy as it once was to find that luxury beach holiday; that unspoilt haven that many people dream of but rarely experience first-hand. But there is such a place, and that place is the tropical Island paradise of Mauritius island.

As an island nation off the African coast in the southwest Indian Ocean, Mauritius island is a tiny hub of idyllic sandy beaches, lagoons, coral reefs and forested mountains. In fact, if ever a themed tropical island was to be built, Mauritius island would probably be the template on which it was based.

Ile aux Cerfs (French for ‘Deer Island’), is an even smaller tropical island just off the east cost of Mauritius island, and is home to a stunning golf course as well as several beautiful beaches from which various waters sport activities can be enjoyed. Indeed, Mauritius island has some stunning scuba diving sites, with an abundance of sea-life and coral reefs surrounding the island.

Then there is the cosmopolitan town of Flic-en-Flac, with its wealth of shopping centres, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and casinos; not to mention more than 3km of powder-white beaches, making it the perfect location for a romantic evening stroll.

And as a former British colony, English is the first language of Mauritius, making practical issues such as traveling and shopping a breeze. In fact, the island has a charming mix of cultures, religions and cuisine, meaning each day can bring a different experience from the previous, helping to cement Mauritius as one of the top 5-star holiday destinations in the world.

Although the picture-perfect setting of Mauritius island makes it the ideal destination for a relaxing luxury beach holiday in Mauritius, there is also no shortage of activities to suit most couples.

So, as far as tropical island paradises go, Mauritius island is up there with the best of them. Its variety of activities, diverse scenery and vast sandy beaches make it the perfect place for a romantic beach holiday. It truly is heaven on earth.
