Tourism Trade Grows In Asia

The tourist trade in Asia is continuing to grow at an impressive rate, according to the Pacific Asia Travel Association (Pata).

Flights to JakartaJet-setters planning to purchase Garuda flights to Indonesia may be interested to learn that a survey on the global online travel market revealed there has been a surge in the number of people travelling in Asia, reports the Independent.

Marcio Favilla, executive director of the World Tourism Organisation, said at a recent Pata conference: "The Asia Pacific is getting a bigger share of the tourism pie."

He noted that 30 years ago, about 70 per cent of travel was within advanced economies.

However, Mr Favilla said that last year there were just six percentage points separating travel in developed and emerging nations.

The expert asserted that "in no time" this will change to a 50-50 split.

Those who purchase flights to Jakarta with Garuda may want to travel to the country in July to witness the Bali Kite Festival, which takes place near Sanur Beach.
