February 3, 2023

SINGAPORE, 3 February 2023: Singapore Changi Airport handled 32.2 million passenger movements in 2022, reaching almost half of the traffic in 2019, before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Aircraft movements, which include landings and takeoffs, totalled 219,000, 57.2% of 2019 levels[1]. Airfreight throughput[2] registered 1.85 million tonnes for 2022, a year-on-year decline of 4.8%.

In 2022, all regions registered strong recovery in passenger traffic, with North America even slightly exceeding pre-Covid levels on a full-year basis and Southwest Pacific, South Asia, and Europe, each reaching two-thirds of 2019 traffic. Closer to home, Southeast Asia has also seen a robust pickup in traffic following the region’s reopening, closing out the year with a new high of two million passenger movements in December 2022, representing over three-quarters of December 2019 traffic.

Changi Airport’s top five passenger markets for the year were, in order, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, India and Thailand. Similar to 2019, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Jakarta were Changi Airport’s three busiest routes in 2022[3]. The Singapore-Kuala Lumpur route is currently the world’s busiest international route based on seat capacity[4].

On the cargo front, cargo flows dipped slightly against the backdrop of global economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures. Changi’s top five air cargo markets for the year were, in order, China, Australia, the US, Hong Kong and Japan.

Strongest traffic in December

Passenger traffic continued to grow throughout 2022, reaching a high in December with 4.62 million passenger movements recorded. This was 72% of Changi Airport’s traffic in December 2019. The busiest week of the year (12 to 18 December) saw more than 1.07 million passengers passing through Changi’s terminals, or 82% of the weekly average in 2019. For the month, aircraft movements registered 25,400, reaching 76% of pre-Covid levels. Compared to December 2021, airfreight throughput fell 17.3% to 153,000 tonnes.

Among Changi’s top 10 markets, South Korea saw passenger traffic grow beyond pre-Covid levels in December 2022, driven in part by additional capacity from Changi’s airline partners, including new airlines T’way Air and Air Premia on the Singapore-Seoul route and Scoot plying the new Singapore-Jeju route.

Enhancing connectivity

In 2022, Changi Airport welcomed eight new airlines. There were seven passenger airlines – Aircalin, Bamboo Airways, Cambodia Airways, Citilink, HK Express, Thai Vietjet Air and T’way Air – and one freighter operator Atlas Air. Four new passenger city links were established for the year – Jeju (South Korea), Nouméa (New Caledonia), Pune (India) and Sibu (Malaysia).

As of the first week of January 2023, 96 airlines operate over 5,600 weekly scheduled flights at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to 143 cities in 48 countries and territories worldwide. This is 82% of Changi’s pre-Covid connectivity.

Strengthening partnerships

With border restrictions lifted and safe management measures eased earlier in the year, CAG also reinstated various industry events to reconnect with trade and airline partners. These include the Let’s Talk Cargo event held on 10 March and the Changi Airline Awards held on 4 May, where CAG took the chance to thank trade and airline partners for weathering through tough times with Changi.

In August, CAG welcomed the partnership between DHL Express and Singapore Airlines to operate five Boeing 777 freighters out of Changi Airport, flying on routes between the US and Singapore via points in North Asia and Australia. The first two aircraft began operations at Changi Airport in 2022, strengthening the Changi air cargo hub by facilitating more express volumes between the USA and Asia Pacific via Singapore.

Call to ban junta ministers from ASEAN meetings

February 3, 2023

JAKARTA, 3 February 2023: To mark the 1 February anniversary of Myanmar’s military coup, civil society groups want assurances that Indonesia, the incoming ASEAN chair for 2023, will not legitimise the Myanmar junta at any cost.

In a press statement released by Civicus on the eve of the ASEAN Tourism Forum that opened in Yogyakarta on 1 February, 22 civil society agencies said a commitment should be made to “disinvite junta representatives from ASEAN meetings at all levels.”

*Myanmar’s Minister of Hotels and Tourism, Htay Aung*.

Just days before the 26^th Meeting of the ASEAN Tourism Ministers convened from 2 to 3 February 2023, the event’s agenda indicated the Myanmar junta’s Hotels and Tourism Minister (MOHT), Htay Aung, was due to attend. The Civicus statement claimed his profile was later deleted from the official website.

The ASEAN Tourism Forum opened on 1 February, coinciding with the second anniversary of Myanmar’s military coup that has waged a terror campaign against the people of Myanmar, Civicus noted.

“Our organisations appreciate the effort of Indonesia as the chair of ASEAN to remove the junta’s Hotels and Tourism Minister from the list of high-level officials. This move is consistent with the effort proposed by the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, in November 2022 to bar Myanmar military representatives from all ASEAN-related meetings, including the annual Summit.”

However, Civicus noted that the “fact that the initial ATF programme for the high-level government meetings still included the representative of the illegitimate junta sends a signal that the message from President Joko Widodo has yet to be carefully mainstreamed and implemented by all sectors and ministries.”

On Wednesday, Myanmar Now reported Myanmar’s powerful military council announced a reshuffle that included the appointment of Htay Aung as the chair of the Anti-Corruption Commission. Aung Thaw, a retired navy officer and former deputy minister of defence under ex-general Thein Sein’s government, takes over the role of Minister of Hotels and Tourism. However, Myanmar Now noted that a one-hour ASEAN Tourism Forum media briefing by Myanmar’s national tourism office, scheduled for Thursday, continued as planned but without any senior officials appointed by the military government in attendance. All 10 countries making up ASEAN traditionally hold media briefings during the ATF, mainly focusing on marketing campaigns and tourism development plans.

The media focus concentrates on the fallout from the military coup. Over the last two years, more than 2,700 people have been killed, and over 17,000 people have been illegally detained, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.

Since the coup on 1 February 2021, over 1.1 million people have been displaced. Towns and villages have been burned or blown away by artillery shelling and airstrikes.

The 22 civil society agencies led by Civicus claimed any engagement with the junta was a breach of the ASEAN Charter.

Tourism is one of the sectors the junta uses to claim legitimacy and is a tool to raise foreign currency to finance the regime. Myanmar’s military junta profits from most tourism activities through direct and indirect ownership and investment. That includes visa fees, insurance, official exchange and when tourists use military-owned hotels and transport.

Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo officially kicked off Indonesia’s 2023 ASEAN chairmanship last Sunday. The country took over the chair from its previous holder Cambodia at the 40th and 41st ASEAN Summit in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on 14 November 2022.

Turning Sabah into a sailing destination

February 2, 2023

KOTA KINABALU, 2 February 2023: Nautical tourism can bring visitors to Sabah who will stay longer and generate more economic benefits for the state’s tourism industry.

State Tourism, Culture, and Environment Assistant Minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai said Sabah needs to capitalise on the prospects of recreational boating given its advantageous location and abundance of waterways.

He said sailing events organised by Sail Malaysia could be a benchmark for the state to develop the potential of the boating sector further and make Sabah a destination of choice for sailors.

Last week a group led by Sail Malaysia managing director Sazli Kamal Basha met Joniston, who chairs Sabah Tourism Board, to present details of the Sail Malaysia Passage to the East 2023 Yacht Rally initiative and to discuss Sabah’s potential as a sailing destination.

“I think we should develop Sabah into a vibrant boating culture because we have received many locals and foreigners participating in recreational boating activities.

“Sabah’s picturesque coastline, pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and stunning landscapes, combined with good marines for boat docking, provide a visually appealing sailing experience,” commented Joniston.

Considering the appeal of such niche interest, he said that Sabah could hold a sailing and boating exposition to draw boating enthusiasts and create revenue for local shops, restaurants, hotels, and other service industries.

“Hosting successful sailing and boating events can enhance Sabah’s reputation as a nautical tourism destination. Such events can generate temporary and permanent employment opportunities for the local community,” he said.

While bringing attention to environmental concerns and bolstering conservation efforts in Sabah, Joniston believed the events could also spur investment in local infrastructure like marinas, piers, and boating facilities.

Meanwhile, Sazli said Sabah offers stunning bays on par with other well-known sailing destinations for mooring boats or yachts.

This, he said, is the case with Marudu Bay, which is accessible to rural destinations where sailors can stay longer and explore the surrounding attractions as well as the local community.

According to statistics provided by Sail Malaysia, the Passage To The East yacht rally saw 386 participants between 2008 and 2022, including 24 repeat participants.

The list of rally stops in Sabah includes Kota Kinabalu, Kudat, Karakit, Pulau Silingan, Sandakan, Kinabatangan, Pulau Tambisan, Lahad Datu, Silam, Bohey Dulang, and Tawau.

The participants were from Australia, Norway, New Zealand, the Netherlands, the United States, France, Sweden, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, among others.

“The rally is a conduit to bring new arrivals to the Sabah. We see a great potential pot because I believe many wish to come here to sail or go boating,” Sazli remarked.

He also mentioned that according to statistics gathered, the average tourist stays for a week, but those participating in the Sail Malaysia programme typically stay for two years.

IHG hires Southeast Asia’s team leader

SINGAPORE, 2 February 2023: IHG Hotels & Resorts has named Patrick Finn as vice president of development for Southeast Asia and Korea.

Based in Singapore, Finn will join Southeast Asia and Korea’s leadership team to spearhead strategic growth initiatives and oversee the expansion of the group’s brands in the region. He brings more than 20 years of hotel development experience to the table.

Myanmar hosts its own travel mart

February 2, 2023

YANGON, 2 February 2023: The Myanmar Tourism Marketing Association is rolling out invites to boost attendance at its Myanmar Tourism Mart due to convene virtually from 15 to 17 February 2023.

The promotion for its travel mart comes just a day before the ASEAN Tourism Forum convenes in Yogyakarta from 2 to 5 February.

This is the first time Myanmar is hosting its annual travel mart virtually, and it probably makes sense considering the array of travel advisories issued that warn visitors not to visit the country.

The mart is organised by the Myanmar Tourism Marketing Association and supported by sponsors and exhibitors from the tourism industry.

“Recent years have been challenging for Myanmar’s tourism industry, but there is still great hope and positivity, and this mart is an expression of that,” said Myanmar Tourism Marketing Chairman Myo Thwin.

The event will feature exhibiting companies from every sector of the travel industry, including destinations, airlines, hotels, travel agencies and cruises in Myanmar.

The registration fee for buyers, trade visitors, and media is free. The mart organisers say they hand out gifts such as hotel stays and balloon rides for participating buyers who commit to a set number of appointments with exhibitors.

The realities on the ground facing travel and hospitality companies are best described as “tough”, with informed sources saying, “only a handful of expatriates and their families are travelling to Myanmar at present.”

But government propaganda would have us believe that over 170,000 foreign tourists visited the country in eight months, from April to November 2022. The Ministry of Hotels and Tourism claims arrivals are double the total in the corresponding period in 2021.

Since the coup on 1 February 2021, more than 2,700 civilians have been killed by the military junta, and more than 13,600 nationals have been arrested and jailed without trial, according to the Assistance Association of Political Prisoners.

Travel and hotel companies worldwide are pressured by democracy activists to distance themselves from the military junta that is linked financially to airlines, hotels, and travel companies.

However, Nikkei Asia reported in its latest assessment that despite “Western governments having imposed sanctions on military-related companies, they have refrained from imposing sweeping sanctions that would leave many unemployed”.

Western countries have no legal restrictions on companies dealing with partners in Myanmar. The door has thus been kept open for global brands to continue ordering products from subcontractors in Myanmar.

HANGZHOU, China, 1 February 2023: China’s outbound and inbound travel markets showed fast and resilient rebounds during the recent Lunar New Year holiday season that rolled in the Year of the Rabbit.

Between January 21 and 26, the year-on-year growth of outbound transaction volumes by Alipay users has surged by 150%, with Hong Kong and Macau being the most popular destinations for mainland consumers, based on the number of transactions during this Chinese New Year period.

Specifically, transactions through Alipay from Chinese mainland tourists to Macau increased by 100%, while that from Chinese mainland tourists to Hong Kong increased by nearly 70%. Alipay currently serves over 1 billion users and has transformed from a trusted payment tool to a digital open platform.

Besides Hong Kong and Macau, Southeast Asian countries reclaimed their importance as one of the most popular destinations for outbound Chinese mainland travellers. The top five Southeast Asian markets with the highest transaction volume by Alipay users during the first six days of the holiday were Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Cambodia.

Japan is one of the top five destinations for Alipay users during the period, along with Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, and Malaysia. Most Alipay cross-border payments took place with merchants such as street vendors and convenience stores, and the highest average spending was seen at duty-free shops across various markets.

On 8 January, China announced its first steps to reduce travel restrictions between the mainland and Hong Kong, lifting quarantine requirements that were in place for almost three years. The Chinese New Year public holiday witnessed a surge in cross-border travel between the mainland and overseas markets as mainland consumers resumed overseas travel and travellers from Hong Kong and Macau piled back to the mainland, mostly for family reunions or leisure activities.

AlipayHK, the most popular e-wallet in Hong Kong, with 3.3 million active users, saw transactions in the mainland and Macau jump 18 times from 21 to 24 January compared to last year.

The number of AlipayHK users that completed a transaction in the mainland and Macau also soared 15 times year-on-year in the same period.

Both Alipay and AlipayHK are e-wallet partners of Alipay+, an Ant Group-owned provider of global cross-border digital payment and marketing solutions, which connects merchants with multiple e-wallets and payment methods.

Currently, Alipay+ has over 15 mobile payment partners globally. Consumers can conveniently use their preferred local payment methods while seamlessly transacting in different markets and enjoy marketing offers by merchants through Alipay+.
