In the past year of 2021, many regions saw an increase in tourist arrivals as border closures and regulations loosened up. During the initial year of the pandemic, the tourism industry shrank worldwide due to restricting regulations. Many countries, such as Thailand, who are dependent on Chinese tourism have been impacted greatly. The outbreak of COVID-19 stunted tourist arrivals. However, unprecedented events have led to huge blows to the tourism sectors throughout the entire Asia-Pacific region. Thus, the Asia-Pacific region has experienced increased growth of domestic tourist arrivals. Therefore, citizens of the Asia-Pacific region have higher levels of disposable income which could theoretically be used to travel. Throughout recent years, in connection with developing economies there has been an emergence of a growing middle class. The Asia-Pacific region has both a strong international and domestic tourism market. Easier visa attainment and the establishment of low-cost airlines are just some of the ways Southeast Asia has attempted to stimulate its tourism industry. In order to encourage and maintain their growing levels of tourism, many Asia-Pacific countries have initiated programs in order to keep the influx of both domestic and international tourists high. Not only does the industry provide monetary value to many countries, but it has made a significant contribution to employment. The likes of Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines have all demonstrated GDP growth and revenue due to the tourism industry. Thailand stands in the foreground as the tourism leader of the Southeast Asia region, and has experienced millions of tourist arrivals. In this way, many countries across the Southeast Asia region depend on tourism to stimulate their newly emerging economies. The region alone generates huge amounts of income from the tourism industry. Southeast Asia has fast become a tourist hotspot.
