Analyst Opinion

Pakistan's Travel & Tourism market has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, attracting both domestic and international travelers to explore its diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage.

Customer preferences:
Travelers in Pakistan are increasingly seeking unique and authentic experiences, moving away from traditional tourist hotspots to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations. There is a growing interest in adventure tourism, eco-tourism, and cultural exchanges, driving the demand for specialized tour operators and sustainable accommodation options.

Trends in the market:
One notable trend in the Pakistani Travel & Tourism market is the rise of domestic tourism, with more locals choosing to explore their own country. This trend can be attributed to improved infrastructure, increased disposable incomes, and a desire to support the local economy. Additionally, the digital revolution has made travel planning more accessible, with online booking platforms and social media influencing travel decisions.

Local special circumstances:
Pakistan's unique geographical location, nestled between South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, offers a diverse range of experiences for travelers. From the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas in the north to the pristine beaches of the Arabian Sea in the south, Pakistan has something to offer every type of traveler. The country's rich history and cultural heritage also attract history buffs and cultural enthusiasts from around the world.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Travel & Tourism market in Pakistan can be attributed to several macroeconomic factors, including government initiatives to promote tourism, infrastructure development projects, and increased international connectivity through new flight routes. Additionally, a stable political environment and improved security measures have helped boost confidence among travelers, both domestic and international, leading to a positive impact on the tourism industry.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on bookings, revenues, and sales channels of hotels, vacation rentals, cruises, package holidays, and camping.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, the Global Consumer Survey, third-party studies and reports, data from industry associations (e.g., UNWTO), and price data of major players in respective markets. To estimate the number of users and bookings, we furthermore use data from the Statista Consumer Insigths Global survey. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as country-related GDP, demographic data (e.g., population), tourism spending, consumer spending, internet penetration, and device penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied. A k-means cluster analysis allows for the estimation of similar countries. The main drivers are tourism GDP per capita and respective price indices.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.
