Potential Irish tourists were less reluctant to book holidays, at home or abroad, with an increased feeling of confidence and this fed through to many categories of travel and tourism. Disposable incomes remained low, however, as a result of the...

Market Report, "Tourism Flows Outbound in Australia", Published

LogoTourism flows outbound continued to rise in 2013 up 7%, an increase from the 6% growth experienced in 2012. This growth occurred despite a depreciation of the Australian dollar, which had the effect of making outbound travel more expensive. Those destinations that have driven this continued growth are those that continue to be affordable to Australian holidaymakers, whether because of the expansion of low cost carrier airlines (Singapore, Malaysia), because poor economic conditions at the destination have resulted in inexpensive travel packages (Greece, Italy) or because they are an inherently affordable destination regardless of the exchange rate (Cambodia).

New Report Available: Tourism Flows Inbound in Saudi Arabia

LogoInternational arrivals to Saudi Arabia increased by 11% in 2013, to reach 18 million trips. This was significant growth compared with the review period, when the number of trips witnessed a CAGR of 2%. Saudi Arabia is heavily dependent on religious tourism, as it does not have any other tourist visa, barring family visit visas and business visas. Each year, millions of pilgrims come to the country throughout the year for this purpose. 2013 saw a surge in the number of pilgrims, as the government continued its massive expansion projects at the holy mosques in Makkah, significantly expanding the capacity. This also made Makkah the city with the most arrivals in 2013. In addition, the number of hotels continued to grow in 2013 to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims, thus resulting in the stronger performance of inbound tourism.

Market Report, "Tourism Flows Outbound in Ireland", Published

LogoIn spite of the recovery of Ireland in 2013, depressed economic conditions in the country continued to impact negatively on outbound tourism, with consumers more focused on debt reduction and saving than ever before. In spite of the Irish government's exit from the European bailout fund, this only occurred at the end of 2013, and this meant that for the most part, 2013 was characterised by continued tightening of disposable incomes and further austerity measures by the government. While some tourists felt emboldened to take holidays domestically, the much larger expense of a longer, international holiday remained beyond the reach of a large number of Irish residents, meaning that tourism flows outbound fell somewhat.

New Market Report: Tourism Flows Outbound in Indonesia

LogoContinuous growth of disposable incomes, the increasing number of wealthy individuals and rising income per household continues to fuel outbound trip growth in Indonesia, especially for leisure purposes. Cultural trends such as the rising Korean-Pop culture have also increased outbound trips to South Korea. However, trips to neighbouring Singapore and Malaysia continued to account for the largest number of outbound trips during the year as international flights or airlines as well as frequencies continued to increase along with more affordable ticket prices arising from price wars among budget carriers. Due to the sizeable amounts spent by Indonesians during their trips, international countries have been increasingly marketing their travel and tourism destinations in the country via a range of mediums such as TV advertisements, web banners and printed advertisements in papers and magazines.
