• 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.

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.
