With tourist hotspots like Phuket and Koh Samui open to international tourists quarantine-free, the darkest days for the hotel and tourism industry may soon be over.
Minor International, which runs more than 530 hotels, resorts and serviced suites worldwide, is also seeing a strong recovery in Europe, the Middle East and China, Heinecke said, pointing out that some regions have returned to pre-Covid levels or higher.
"In Europe, where we just reopened, we're seeing very strong demand. We've seen very steady recovery since January in the Middle East… our Middle East properties are now functioning at pre-Covid levels. We have many countries in the world that are in pre-Covid levels or higher. China is another one," he added.
"One of the trends for sure that we see is much more focus on wellness and immunity, and people concerned about their health," he added.While demand for tourism has rebounded in parts of the world and recovery has been strong, the rate of vaccine rollouts in Asia has been a concern.
