In the past decade, data shows that the tourism industry had grown exponentially by 59% and become the fastest growing economic sector worldwide.
In 2019, international tourists’ arrivals estimated 1.5 billion, a huge growth compared to 2009 numbered at 880 million travels. The tourism industry supplied $8.9 trillion to the world GDP in 2019, with 1/10 jobs worldwide relies on tourism, which equals 330 million jobs.
Since COVID-19 struck the entire world, this phenomenon halted international flights and hotels leading to travel restrictions. However, there are reports of COVID-19 competitiveness among Asia Pacific countries that may have shed light on tourists. Japan and Australia were highly competent in combating COVID-19, which may lead to lifted/lighter restrictions for travel to the countries.
