According to the forecast, northeast Asia will be attributed for more than half of the total foreign inbound volume expected by 2020, or 333 million international visitors.
The forecast also predicts that the Americas and Europe will continue to play important roles in Asia-Pacific travel and tourism.
Within the two regions, the Americas alone is expected to generate 13 million arrivals by 2020, driven largely by visitors from north America.
“This last series of predictions again highlights the rapidly approaching need for aggressive and appropriate visitor management processes ,” said Mario Hardy, chief executive officer of PATA.
The study covered 38 destinations within the Asia-Pacific region.
