La région Asie/Pacifique Tourisme s'apprête à enregistrer une croissance de 6% pour 2011 (Asia/Pacific Tourism poised to record 6% growth for 2011
Preliminary results released by the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) show a collective increase of 6% year-on-year for international arrivals into Asia/Pacific1 destinations during each of the months of October and November 2011.
For the first 11 months of the year, South Asia was the star growth performer, followed by Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia and the Pacific, all of which saw tourism demand improve albeit at different rates of growth.
This momentum is expected to continue for the rest of the year and paves the way for an expected full-year arrivals gain of 5-6% in 2011, above the global growth figure of 4%.
The overall international visitor arrivals count to the wider Asia Pacific region - which includes North America - is expected to reach around 430 million for 2011.
