How will travel fare in 2023? Although there is some good news for every sector in the tourism industry, experts say many of 2022's issues will still be around this year.
What a year it has been for the global travel industry. While analysts and industry experts had earlier predicted a return to pre-pandemic days by at least 60% for many markets, only a handful have managed to achieve that.Labour shortage was rampant particularly in the hospitality sector, causing many hotels and accommodations to hold off on opening their properties to full capacity.
Hopefully, MYAirline, Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia would be able to add more flight frequencies soon, especially to domestic destinations.In Europe, the summer travel season kicked off badly, and at times got even worse as the weeks progressed. Worker strikes and staff shortages forced many European airlines to cancel thousands of flights, just to avoid overcrowding and extra long queues at major airports.
Fortunately, most holidaymakers are unperturbed by these challenges, accepting them as the new normals of travel. After all, Covid-19 has taught us how to quickly adapt to new ways of life.Something else that travellers have had to learn to adapt to in 2022 is the constant change in travel regulations and entry requirements. Most countries around the word opened their borders to international tourists at the start of the second quarter of 2022.
South Korea, which also opened its borders on April 1, had such a confusing set of rules that included applying for the K-ETA . Or maybe people just really missed Thai food, Bangkok shopping and the friendly locals, we can't really confirm.
