ASIA: The Big Picture
The Shift to Secondary Cities
Asia’s travel boom is moving beyond mega-cities. Destinations like Fukuoka, Da Nang, Penang, and Chiang Rai are outperforming traditional hubs in accommodation search growth, driven by better connectivity, lower costs, and demand for experiential travel . Budget carriers are expanding regional routes between secondary cities, making multi-stop itineraries more practical . Digital border systems—Singapore’s SG Arrival Card, Thailand’s automated lanes—are reducing friction for regional travellers . For B2B operators, the message is clear: diversify itineraries beyond capitals.
