2022ForewordForewordAtthetimeofwriting,thetravelindustrywiththeexceptionoftheAsiaPacificmarket has all but recovered from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.This is the news we have all been waiting for,and yet the response has been relatively subdued.Why?Because as one major challenge has slowly faded from the industrys consciousness,many new,smaller challenges have taken its place.As ForwardKeys Head of Research,Luis Milln,explains in his 2022 travel review on pages 14-15,the travel sector in 2022 has had to navigate obstacles including escalating geopolitical tensions,airport chaos,Chinas ongoing closure and even existential threats to the aviation industry.The issue of overtourism has also returned with a vengeance in the wake of travel reactivation.On pages 12-13,ForwardKeys Head of Market Intelligence,Juan Gmez,describes what destinations can do to mitigate the impact of overtourism.Wehopeyouenjoyreadingthisreportandfindvalueinitsinsightsandanalyses.Heres to a brighter 2023 for the travel industry.Travel and tourism have seen demand skyrocket as we emerged from the pandemic.Consumer demand is high and with this rebound we see new and exciting trends and opportunities emerging.As peoples lives changed,so did their habits,priorities and interests,and all the while,global geopolitical events and challenges ensure the goal posts are constantly moving.This report provides an insight into those shifts and our responses to them and forecasts the trends for the year ahead.At World Travel Market London our mission is to table the biggest issues impacting the travel and tourism industry,guide the sector towards new horizons through peer-to-peer learning,and offer vast networking opportunities to help deliver those crucial business deals that ensure the industrys future.We look forward to welcoming you!Olivier PontiVice President

travel market developments in 2022,the picture is generally positive,with many destinations approaching full recovery and some even surpassing their pre-pandemic performance.Byregion,AfricaandtheMiddleEastis2022smostresilient,withtheMiddleEast,inparticular,benefitingfrom the resumption of major global events such as the Dubai World Expo,Formula One GPs in various Gulf locations and,above all,Qatars FIFA World Cup.The Gulf Cooperation Council has also seen a comeback in business travel,a segment whose resilience has come as a surprise to many.The Americas,meanwhile,has achieved an impressive level of recovery thanks largely to pent-up demand from the United States outbound market for sun and beach destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean,several of which have seen tourism growth versus 2019.In fact,demand for sun and beaches is a recurring theme in this years travel review,with many destinations in Southern Europe also performing strongly.Turkeys Antalya,for example,is this years stand-out performer by city destination,seeing 66%more tourist arrivals than in 2019.Yet Europe is known for its diversity,and many travellers to the continent have been keen to experience its nature,historyandvibranturbancentresasreflectedingrowingdemand for destinations including Istanbul(-4%),Reykjavik(-14%),Madrid(-22%)and Oslo(-25%).Like Mexico and the Caribbean,Europe owes much of its success in terms of travel recovery to the US,which retains its position as the worlds leading outbound travel market.Theleast-recoveredglobalregionin2022isAsiaPacific,which is to be expected given the late reopening of many of its destinations and Chinas ongoing closure.Nevertheless,AsiaPacific,too,isheadingintherightdirection,driveninitially by pent-up demand from the large international diasporas of countries like Pakistan(-5%)and Bangladesh(-8%)for visiting friends and relatives.Regional sun and beach destinations like the Maldives(-7%)and Fiji(-22%)are also recovering well.Towardstheendof2022,thestagnationofcertainmarketsinthefaceofsoaringinflationrateshascastasmall shadow over what had been a mostly positive year for the industry.Looking ahead to 2023,the travel markets full,global recovery will depend on its ability to overcome this challenge as well as other obstacles associated with geopolitical tensions and a global energy crisis.And of course,no industry recovery will be complete without the return of Chinese travellers.EXECUTIVE SUMMARYRecovery edges closer,but obstacles remain6FORWARDKEYS-THE MOST VISITED DESTINATIONS 2022MethodologyMETHODOLOGYThe

MOST VISITED DESTINATIONS 2022Top 20 country destinationsTOP 20 COUNTRY DESTINATIONSCentral American and Caribbean countries dominate the recovery rankingsTaking a global view of travel recovery in 2022 against 2019 levels,the overall picture is similar to what we saw in 2021 and again this summer,with many of the top-performing destinations representing the Americas specificallyCentral America and the Caribbean.These regions sustained success is owed largely to the open-door travel policy that many of their destinations adopted early in the pandemic,aswellastosignificantpent-updemandfromthe reactivated United States market.Exemplary is the Dominican Republic,which holds firstpositioninthe2022recoverychartreflectingtheyearstop-performing global destinations having experienced a 5%growth in arrivals,helped by a 13%increase in seat capacity,versus 2019.Elsewhere,Europes recovery continues apace,with Turkey the continents top-performing destination having achieved full recovery(0%)versus 2019.Turkey,like neighbouring Greece(-12%),has benefited from clear messagingregarding entry requirements and reopening dates as well as from demand for sun and beach destinations from the US and European markets.Among the top destinations in Africa and the Middle East,those showing the best performance are in the Middle East:Egypt(-15%),the United Arab Emirates(-17%)and Qatar(-25%).The return of major global events like the Dubai Expo and the World Cup has helped to boost travel recovery in this sub-region.Meanwhile,theappearanceofseveralAsiaPacificcountriesamong the top-performing destinations is a welcome development in this years global recovery rankings given the regions more cautious approach to travel reactivation overall.The impressive performance of Pakistan(-5%)and Bangladesh(-8%)is owed to travellers pent-up demand for visiting friends and relatives in their home countries.*Excluded 1 night stays from analysis*Out of top 40 destinations in

Russia after the rest of Europe closed its doors to the country following the escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian war.Elsewhere in Europe,leading tourist cities outside Turkey include urban destinations like Naples (-14%),Porto(-15%)and Athens(-16%),all of which boast a rich offering of culture and history while connecting travellers to nearby sun and beach resorts,for which there has been much demand from the European and US markets.Mlaga(-10%)inparticularhasbenefitedfromsuchdemand.However,Europes natural and cultural diversity has seen alternative destinations attract large numbers of travellers to the continent seeking tourism products other than sun and beach.For example,Reykjavik(-14%)places in the top-fivecitydestinationsonthecontinent,drawingvisitorsfrom Europe and the US who

destinations represent Central America and the Caribbean see Mexicos Puerta Vallarta( 13%)and the Dominican Republics Punta Cana( 12%)is again testament to the success of open-door policies and the demand for sun and beaches.In the Middle East,Cairo(-18%)is recovering well thanks to its diversity as a leisure destination,while Dubai(-15%),which has traditionally been seen as little more than a layover hub,is now establishing itself as a leading tourist destination.Asia Pacifics travel recovery,which is finally beginningto pick up,is being driven by travellers living overseas visiting friends and relatives in their home countries.The regions top-performing cities in 2022 therefore include Lahore( 4%)and Islamabad(-1%)in Pakistan and Dhaka in Bangladesh(-9%).However,certain destinations are performing well as a result of reenergised demand for long-haul leisure travel,namely Mal(-6%)in the Maldives.*Excluded 1 night stays from the analysis*Out of top 100 global

DESTINATIONS 2022MANAGING OVERTOURISMA balancing act that requires nuanced dataBroadly speaking,the success of a destination is judged by the number of visitors it welcomes in a given time frame.In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic,destinations are,in general,more determined than ever to attract large numbers of tourists,which is why this report focuses on the years most-visited destinations.The evolving responsibilities and requirements of the modern DMOIt is the responsibility of the modern destination marketing organisation(DMO)to consider the needs of all stakeholders and balance economic imperatives with social and environmental concerns.The question is how because,clearly,a DMO does not have the authority to decide which businesses are licensed to operate at its destination;nor can it control who lets their flatouttotouristsviaAirbnb,drivinguprentinthearea.Nevertheless,DMOsdohavethepowertoinfluencethegovernmentaldepartmentsresponsibleformanagingsuchmatters.Thekeyhereisdata.Forinstance,wheretouristarrivalfiguressupportthecomplaintsofresidentsandheritageorganisationsregarding overcrowding in a certain area,DMOs can present this information to the relevant authority,which may then impose limits on applications for new tourist-focused businesses and/or holiday rentals in the area.However,more is not always better,and it is important to remember the issues of overtourism many destinations were facing before the global health crisis emerged.In fact,as more and more global regions approach full travel recovery,the topic of overtourism once again occupies a high position on the travel industry agenda.A hard concept to defineAs a concept,overtourism is relative and highly subjective,with one destinations understanding of the term potentially differingsignificantlyfromanothers.Evenwithinasingledestination,what one party considers too many tourists,another may see as the ideal number,or even not enough.Destinations that attract a high number of tourists tend to develop in such a way that visitors are better catered for.For example,popular city break destinations usually have a large offer of chain hotels and restaurants as well as souvenir shops.According to residents and organisations concerned with preserving heritage,these businesses may damage the citys identity and contribute to overcrowding in central areas.Despite this,they generally become an important economic contributor to such an extent that whentouristsarenotvisiting,thecitysuffersfinancially.By Juan A.Gmez,Head of Market Intelligence at ForwardKeys Managing overtourism12FORWARDKEYS-THE MOST VISITED DESTINATIONS 2022Managing overtourismTherearealsoissuesthataDMOcaninfluencemoredirectly.ResidentsofmanyEuropeandestinationscomplainthattheircityisoverrun with groups of drunk and noisy tourists,often celebrating stag or hen parties.This is a common problem in Amsterdam,forexample.Insuchcases,dataontravellerprofilescanbeusedtoidentifythesevisitors,whotypicallytravelinlargegroupsand spend short periods at the destination.Where this type of tourist comprises a large proportion of a destinations audience,the DMO can focus its marketing efforts on promoting other aspects of the destination that attract a different kind of tourist ideally one with higher purchasing power who is more likely to partake in cultural activities.Similarly,wherethedatarevealsthatspecificpartsofadestination are suffering from overcrowding through mass tourism,the DMO can concentrate its efforts on publicising less-visited areas and attractions to distribute tourists social,environmental and economic impact more evenly.However,overtourism relates not only to the profile oftourists and the locations they frequent but also to the time of year they tend to visit.Indeed,unchecked seasonality can cause social and environmental issues due to overcrowding in peak seasons,while in low seasons,it can leave a destination sorely lacking in tourism revenue.Therefore,wherearrivalsdatashowssignificantspikesatcertain periods and considerable drop-offs at others,the DMOshouldshiftitsfocustopromotingasteadierflowof visitors throughout the year.In the case of a traditional beach destination like Mlaga,Spain,for instance,this may mean drawing attention to a less weather-dependent aspect of its offering,such as nearby heritage sites,museums,nature trails or national parks.Implementing the right strategyThe village of Siurana in Catalunya provides a good example of how destinations can manage the impact of tourism.The historic community,which is home to beautiful nature sites and some of the worlds most challenging climbs,has recently refused to be included in the list of most beautiful villages and towns in Spain,adopting a sustainable,quality-over-quantity approach to tourism as it lacks the capacity and infrastructure to support large numbers of visitors.Tourism-focused businesses,such as the local bar,hotel and campsite,agreed with this response.ForwardKeys understands that findingcreative solutions to overtourism is easier said than done,which is why data is so important to the modern DMO.“”Siurana shows how DMOs,village or town planners and local businesses can work together to agree on the best approach for their destination.While this example concerns a small village,the same methodology should be applied at a larger scale to manage overtourism in cities.However,ForwardKeysunderstandsthatfindingcreativesolutions to overtourism is easier said than done,which is why data is so important to the modern DMO.Rather than simply responding to developments and hoping that response proves successful,DMOs need to monitor the situation continually to ensure their implemented policies are making the desired impact and react accordingly if not.For more information on how ForwardKeys can support its clients in managing overtourism,check out the article What lies ahead for travel data analytics and BI at ForwardKeys.13FORWARDKEYS-THE MOST

regarding other threats including escalating geopolitical tensions and industry challenges.A new strain of COVID-19The emergence of a highly transmissible Covid-19 variant,Omicron,initially caused

Russian airspace has increased the cost of travel to Asia at a time when several Asian destinations are reopening to visitors.“”Escalating geopolitical tensionsSwiftly replacing news coverage of the Omicron outbreak were reports on the escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian war,with Russia launching a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.Although the situation in Ukraine had a short-lived impact on travel to Europe,it has nonetheless had far-reaching consequences,the full extent of which is yet to be determined.Intheshortterm,thereroutingofairtraffictoavoidRussianairspace has increased the cost of travel to Asia at a time when several Asian destinations are reopening to visitors.Inthemid-term,inflation,exacerbatedbytheconflict,iseroding consumer purchasing power,while rising fuel

chaosItwasnotlongbeforereportsontheconflictinUkrainemade way for a new story:significant delays andwidespread cancellations at airports in major Western markets.A hangover from the pandemic,during which many airports and airlines laid off considerable numbers of staff,the chaos arose in May ahead of the summer season,when travel demand began to outstrip supply.For people planning holidays abroad,the images that dominated television screens during the height of the disruption made for concerning viewing,and many were deterred from bookingflightsentirely.Slower recovery for Asia PacificAirports in Asia-Pacific have not experienced the samechaos as those in Europe largely because the region has taken a more cautious approach to reopening following the global health crisis and its travel market is consequently recovering at a slower rate.AlthoughChinasongoingabsencefromtheAsiaPacifictravel landscape poses a considerable obstacle to the regions overall recovery,other markets have made bold moves towards full reactivation based on less-stringent policies.Examples include Australia,which began welcoming visitors on 6 July;Indonesia,which opened to vaccinated travellers on 4 February;and Thailand,which scrapped testing as an entry requirement on 1 April.India,which opened to all vaccinated travellers on 27 March,has made a particularly significant contribution to regionaltravel recovery by capitalising on pent-up demand from both the VFR and leisure segments.Challenges ahead for aviationProviding a bleak backdrop to the events and trends that have shaped the

outbound markets progressing slowly or stagnating altogether as 2023 approaches,destinations mightbenefitfromturningtheirattentiontowardsnewsourcemarkets that show high potential.For instance,tourism authorities can use reliable ticketing data to determine which markets are still travelling in large numbers to competing destinations and focus their marketing efforts on drawing some of that demand to their own destination.Another viable strategy is to identify and target higher-yield markets and segments,for instance those that tend to favour extended stays or purchase premium travel services,resulting in a greater economic tourism impact.Ultimately,while 2023 looks set to be another volatile year for the travel industry,destinations that leverage travel intelligence will have the agility and adaptability to ride the storm.Tickets for international departures from the UK vs 2019&UK inflation rateSource:ForwardKeysActualAirTickets|UKOfficeforNationalStatisticsWhat comes

recovery are therefore Southern European destinations,like Greece(-12%),Portugal(-16%)and the regional leader,Turkey(0%),which attracts a diverse mix of travellers from the European Union,the US and Russia.Theothertwocountriesmakingupthetopfivemostresilientdestinations,Iceland(-14%)andNorway(-25%),reflectthegrowing demand for alternative destinations in particular those that offer natural

2019,the sector contributed$3,430 million,equivalent to 20.3%of Albanias GDP,positioning it as one of the main contributors to the countrys economic development.Home to castles,archaeological sites and a pristine coastline,Albania has a lot to offer visitors.Yet the Balkan nation has never held a prominent position on the international tourist map,with its neighbour Greece and other local competitors like Croatia typically attracting many more travellers.However,in recent years Albania has claimed its well-deserved position on the Mediterranean travel landscape by improving its tourism infrastructure and air connectivity and enhancing its marketing efforts to draw more attention to its abundant offering of tourism products.The strategy has proved successful because,until the start of the COVID-19 pandemic,visitor numbers were growing at an incredible pace,far above the global average.Like all destinations,its performance was then severely affected by the emergence of the global health crisis.Interestingly,in 2022,the growth trend picked up right where it left off in 2019 and Albania surpassed the regional average by growing by 5%in arrivals.On the one hand,Albania has managed to capitalise on the increased demand for alternative,less-crowded sun&beach destinations following the COVID-19 pandemic.On the other hand,it has expanded its market access by establishing direct air connections with key markets in Europe and overseas,primarily through low-cost operators.In fact,Albania is one of the few destinations in Europe with a double-digit increase in international seat capacity compared with 2019.What stands out is that Albanias strong growth and post-pandemic performance have not relied on a single source market but several a wise move considering the crisis and resultant border closures and travel restrictions.Albania achieved robust marketdiversificationbytappingintomajorEuropeanmarketssuchastheUnitedKingdom,Germany,ItalyandFranceaswellas attracting interest from the United States and the Middle East.BEST PRACTICES:ALBANIAAlbania:The Mediterraneans dark horseAlbania has shown how,by revamping its tourism strategy and destination marketing plus improving accessibility by air,a lesser-known destination can shine and increase its international arrivals.As 2023 approaches,bringing with it the hope of further travel market normalisation,the outlook for this diverse and unspoilt destination looks

resilient world region in 2022,with the number of international arrivals only 26low 2019 levels.This region outperformed the global result by 23 percentage points in the second half of 2022.Africa in particular has demonstrated impressive resilience,but many of its destinations face ongoing challenges when it comes to connectivity with major markets such as the United States and Europe.Among the locations leading the regions recovery,there is a strong presence of Middle Eastern destinations,including Egypt(-15%),United Arab Emirates(-17%)and Qatar(-25%),among others.The ranking of most-resilient destinations is led by Tanzania,which stood out with a 2%increase over 2019.The strong performance of these destinations is consistent with the recovery of sun and beach travel in the wider region,which,in the second half of 2022,almost reached full recovery,standing at-9%as compared with the same period in 2019.Other destinations recovering well in the region are shopping and business hotspots,standing at-15%and-20%for the year,respectively.This is reflected in the performance ofmajor commercial cities in the Middle East,like Dubai(-15%).Overall,the Middle East is well positioned for further recovery,benefiting from the return of global events like the DubaiWorld Expo,the FIFA World Cup in Qatar and the Formula One GPs in various Gulf locations.Spotlight on:Africa

the Dubai Expo in Q4 2021,the Formula One in Abu Dhabi and Qatars FIFA World Cup in 2022 are choosing Dubai as their preferred hub and base.Medium stays(between 6 and 13 nights)have also recovered strongly,comfortably surpassing 2019 levels in major holiday periods,such us Eid al-Fitr for Muslim tourists and Christmas holidays for European markets.In a further indicator of Dubais growing

tourism and travel to a standstill.Although the health impact of the pandemic has been fairly contained in the Maldives,its economic consequences for the tourism-dependent economy have been devastating.To contain the spread of the virus,the country closed its borders for the first time in history,between 27 March and 15 July 2020.This led to a sudden stop in tourism the main driver of growth,jobs and revenue.But with the virus now contained and more than two-thirds of the countrys population fully vaccinated,tourists have been steadily returning since late 2020.The Maldives has also successfully attracted tourists from new and emerging markets to supplement shortfalls in arrivals from previously high-performing markets like China.India and Russia were the leading markets in
