The Travel & Tourism market in Southeast Asia is a dynamic and rapidly growing industry that is influenced by various factors.
Customer preferences: Travelers in Southeast Asia are increasingly seeking unique and authentic experiences, driving the demand for off-the-beaten-path destinations and cultural immersion. The rise of social media has also influenced customer preferences, with travelers looking for Instagrammable spots and personalized travel experiences.
Trends in the market: In Thailand, there has been a noticeable shift towards sustainable tourism practices, with a focus on eco-friendly accommodations and responsible travel experiences. The country's diverse offerings, from bustling cities to pristine beaches, continue to attract a wide range of travelers. In Vietnam, the growing middle class has led to an increase in domestic tourism, with more locals exploring their own country. This trend has also been supported by the government's efforts to promote domestic travel and improve infrastructure.
Local special circumstances: Indonesia, with its vast archipelago and rich cultural heritage, has been investing in developing its tourism sector. The country's focus on promoting lesser-known destinations alongside popular tourist spots has contributed to a more balanced tourism landscape. The Philippines, known for its stunning beaches and warm hospitality, has been experiencing growth in adventure tourism. Activities such as surfing, diving, and island-hopping are becoming increasingly popular among both domestic and international travelers.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The economic growth in Southeast Asia, coupled with increasing disposable incomes, has led to a rise in domestic and international travel within the region. Governments across Southeast Asia have been investing in infrastructure development and promoting tourism as a key driver of economic growth. Additionally, the region's strategic location and diverse offerings continue to attract a wide range of travelers from around the world.
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.
