• A new survey of global travel industry experts, conducted by Collinson and CAPA – Centre for Aviation (CAPA), shows an increase in expectation of travel resumption to pre-pandemic levels in 2023, versus expectations from five months ago.
• The impact of travel on mental and physical wellbeing, as well as fears around fraudulent travel and testing documents, are expected to remain key traveller concerns.
• Business and long-haul travel to remain the slowest-recovering travel segments in 2022, while short-haul leisure travel sees the beginnings of a revival in certain locations.
• Optimism is subdued in the Asia Pacific region, as senior aviation and travel experts remain more cautious than their global counterparts.

As the travel ecosystem continues to adapt to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, a newly launched second edition of the ‘Asia Pacific Travel Recovery Report’ from Collinson, a global end-to-end travel experiences, airport services and travel medical company, and CAPA – Centre for Aviation (CAPA), showcases the latest travel industry recovery predictions – including traveller expectations – for the coming year and beyond.

The extensive survey of more than 400 C-Suite and senior managerial level travel industry experts from leading global travel brands reveals that while 37% of respondents are now expecting a ‘full recovery’ to 2019 pre-pandemic levels in 2023 – compared to 35% in the April 2021 survey – optimism that herd immunity would be reached in the US, UK and a few other developed countries has slipped from 33% to 24%. Additionally, concerns around quarantine and fraudulent Covid-19 test results remain a worry for respondents.

The survey was carried out in September 2021 by Collinson in partnership with CAPA – one of the world’s most trusted sources of market intelligence for the aviation and travel industry – to continue the study of the industry’s recovery and predict the new traveller experience.
