The private sector cannot accelerate recovery and bring back 100 million jobs alone; public-private collaboration is essential. Key principles from international coordination to reopen borders and aligning health & hygiene standards to the implementation of international testing protocols and the promotion of travel; must be adopted. As the sector works hand in hand to achieve full recovery, what learnings have been gained and what more needs to be done to achieve full recovery?

Over the last decade, the Asia-Pacific region has been a driver of Travel & Tourism growth, accounting for 33% of total outbound Travel & Tourism spend in 2019. This growth was put to a sudden halt due to COVID-19, resulting in prolonged international border closures and the loss of over 34 million Travel & Tourism jobs in Asia-Pacific in 2020. As the region first affected by the pandemic, the sector has had to remain agile in its crisis response but rigid in its dedication to maintaining public health, business continuity and jobs. What lessons can the Asia-Pacific region share with the world and what must be done to once again become a driver of Travel & Tourism growth?
