BANGKOK, 12 January 2022: Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s leading hotel operator, is celebrating the first anniversary of Centara Reserve Samui, which introduced a new era of personalised, design-led hospitality to Thailand – and the world – when it opened in December 2021.
The inaugural edition of the new Centara Reserve luxury brand, Centara Reserve Samui, is nestled in a stunning seafront setting at the tranquil end of Chaweng Beach. Crafted for discerning travellers who crave meaningful escapes in exclusive settings, this flagship resort is characterised by bespoke experiences that tell the story of their destination.
The creation of the 184-room and pool-suite property was overseen by AvroKO, the acclaimed architecture and interior design studio which previously worked on projects such as 1 Hotel Central Park in New York, The Waldorf Astoria Bangkok, and The Temple House in Chengdu. It settled on a concept that pulled inspiration from both the colonial aesthetic and the traditional craft of Thai wood carving whilst blending it with contemporary style and grace.
From the moment of arrival in the inviting light-filled lobby, which is crowned with a unique wooden sculpted chandelier, to the soothing suites and pool villas, which feature soft white tones, white-washed oak, antique bronze metalwork and carved wooden screens, every aspect of this elegant resort exudes originality and sophistication. Outdoors, strategically placed pavilions, and alfresco living areas help to frame views of the sparkling sea.
Surrounded by swaying palm trees, the saltwater swimming pool is a spectacular setting to cool off.
With five dramatic dining and social venues such as Salt Society Beach Bar & Kitchen, with its 1,750 pieces of bamboo décor that represent waves, ocean-inspired tableware, and Vitamin Sea, the island’s most talked-about Sunday Brunch, as well as a state-of-the-art fitness centre, yoga pavilion, children’s zone, the world’s first Reserve Spa Cenvaree, and spaces to stage glamorous events and one-of-a-kind weddings, Centara Reserve Samui has taken its place alongside Thailand’s finest hotels.
It is not only the design and facilities that set it apart from the crowd, however; it is the resort’s ability to inspire travellers through storytelling. At Centara Reserve Samui – and all future Centara Reserve properties worldwide – guests will be able to write new chapters in their life story that reflect the heart and soul of their destination through original activities, authentic encounters and memorable moments.
Salt Society Beach Bar & Kitchen is adorned with hanging bamboo to represent the ocean waves.
The success of Centara Reserve Samui is reflected by the honours and accolades it has received in its first 12 months of operations. This flagship hotel was named the “Best New Luxury Resort” in the Luxury Lifestyle Awards and was a finalist in the “Best Luxury Guest Rooms” category in the Gold Key Awards.
“The opening of Centara Reserve Samui in December 2021 marked an important milestone for our company. We have hosted many wonderful visitors in the last 12 months, and their feedback has been excellent. In fact, our internal data shows that guest satisfaction has been continuously positive and reached its highest score in recent months. December marks the start of Thailand’s first full high season without any travel restrictions, so we look forward to welcoming many more experience-seeking travellers to Koh Samui in the coming weeks and months,” said Centara Hotels & Resorts CEO Thirayuth Chirathivat.

SINGAPORE, 12 January 2023: Etihad Airways starts the year with its annual ‘Global Sale’ offering low fares to travellers looking to explore new destinations and visit friends and family.
Travellers can take advantage of special sale fares to select Etihad destinations, with the ‘Global Sale’ running until 17 January 2023, for travel until 31 October 2023.

SINGAPORE, 9 January 2023: that the Air travel recovery continued through November 2022, according to the latest data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Reporting earlier this week on November’s airline performance, IATA said traffic in November 2022 (measured in revenue passenger kilometres or RPKs) rose 41.3% compared to November 2021. Globally, traffic is now at 75.3% of November 2019 levels.
International traffic rose 85.2% versus November 2021. The Asia-Pacific continued to report the strongest year-over-year results, with all regions showing improvement compared to the prior year. November 2022, international RPKs reached 73.7% of November 2019 levels.
Domestic traffic for November 2022 was up 3.4% compared to November 2021, with travel restrictions in China continuing to dampen the global result.
“Traffic results in November reinforce that consumers thoroughly enjoy the freedom to travel. Unfortunately, the reactions to China’s reopening of international travel in January remind us that many governments are still playing science politics regarding Covid-19 and travel. Epidemiologists, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and others have said that the reintroduction of testing for travellers from China can do little to contain a virus already present worldwide,” said IATA’s director general Willie Walsh.
“China’s objections to these policy measures are compromised by its pre-departure testing requirements for people travelling to China. Governments should focus on using available tools to manage Covid-19 effectively—including improved therapeutics and vaccinations—rather than repeating policies that have failed repeatedly over the last three years.”
International Passenger Markets
Asia-Pacific airlines had a 373.9% rise in November traffic compared to November 2021, the strongest year-over-year rate among the regions. Capacity rose 159.2%, and the load factor was up 35.9 percentage points to 79.2%.
European carriers’ November traffic climbed 45.3% versus November 2021. Capacity increased by 25.1%, and the load factor increased 11.6 percentage points to 83.6%, the highest among the regions.
Middle Eastern airlines saw an 84.6% traffic rise in November compared to November 2021. November capacity increased 45.4% versus the year-ago period, and the load factor climbed 16.5 percentage points to 77.7%.
North American carriers experienced a 69.9% traffic rise in November versus the 2021 period. Capacity increased by 45.5%, and the load factor climbed 11.6 percentage points to 81.0%.
Latin American airlines’ November traffic rose 59.2% compared to the same month in 2021. November capacity climbed 55.6%, and the load factor increased 1.9 percentage points to 82.9%.
African airlines had an 83.5% rise in November RPKs versus a year ago. November 2022 capacity was up 48.4%, and the load factor climbed 14.2 percentage points to 74.3%, the lowest among regions.
BANGKOK, 11 January 2023: Tripseed, a Thailand-based ground operator and travel specialist that focuses on sustainable and ethically-led tourism, has announced that they have become the newest member of the Global Collective for Travel.
The Global Collective for Travel is a collaboration between locally owned and operated DMCs worldwide to drive transformational change within the travel industry. The goal is to promote a more ethical model for tourism and provide industry partners worldwide access to a less extractive and more sustainable supply chain that ensures more revenue reaches the destinations that travellers are visiting.
“We are very excited to join the Global Collective for Travel,” says Narissara Wongmahawan, co-founder of Tripseed. “Since our earliest discussions, it became clear that we all share very similar philosophies and values for our businesses. We all align strongly on the high levels of service excellence that we believe our partners and their travellers should receive at all times. Delivering distinctive travel experiences and a more authentic window into our destinations.”
With the addition of Tripseed, the Global Collective for Travel is now present in 10 destinations worldwide, comprising Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Turkey, Cyprus, India and the Himalayas, Morocco, Costa Rica, Spain, and Portugal.
The Global Collective for Travel members work directly with the travel trade ‘boots-on-the-ground’ in their respective destinations, delivering innovative tours and experiences to keep market offerings fresh and exhilarating – a far cry from the standard mass-market fare. They enable travellers booked with partner agencies to forge authentic local connections inside a destination. They promote equality and empowerment for local employees, casual workers such as Tour Guides and Drivers, and other local suppliers.
“Meeting with the Tripseed founders, learning about their work and what they aspire to become tells us there are many people like us who want similar things. Responsible travel, equity for the local community, amazing holidays, and genuine connection with the places you’re visiting. Most importantly, the things they do every day matter and those whose lives they impact matter,” said Tuan Pham, one of the founding members of the collective.
Tripseed is a ground operator and tailor-made holiday specialist based in Thailand. Founded in 2021 by three veterans of destination management in Asia, with over two decades of combined experience designing and operating travel for some of the world’s leading travel agents and tour operators.
HANOI, 12 January 2023: International visitor arrivals to Vietnam during 2022 peaked at 3,440,019, up 98.186% over the 2021 total, according to the latest data from the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism.
Arrivals for December 2022 reached 707.071, up 18,5% over November 2022 and increasing 22.8% over December 2021.

It’s the first time that VNAT has posted a full year’s data with a breakdown by countries since the global Covid-19 pandemic locked down international tourism from March 2020 through to April 2022.
Before the travel lockdown, China was consistently the first or second-highest provider of travellers visiting Vietnam.
However, arrivals from China, mainly family or business-related travel, clocked just 71,862 trips during 2022, according to the VNAT chart, while Korea generated 767,167 trips. Even ASEAN’s outbound travel markets supplied more tourists to Vietnam than China in 2022 – Thailand 162,567 trips, Cambodia 140,461, Malaysia 135,007 and Singapore 128,399. The question Vietnam’s tourism industry will be asking is how long will it take for China to become the top supplier of leisure travellers once more? All eyes will be on China’s Lunar New Year holiday week that starts on 22 January. If forecasts are correct, the recovery of China’s outbound travel market could accelerate within weeks. That will put considerable pressure on Asia’s airlines to reinstate routes and add flights to China much faster than earlier forecasts had opined.

Vietnam’s tourism leaders convened for a timely summit on 9 January hosted by the Vietnam Tourism Association in collaboration with Quang Ninh Province themed “Solutions to attract Chinese tourists to Vietnam” just a day after China reopened tourism.
The summit was attended by Nguyen Trung Khanh, VNAT chairman, Vu The Binh Vietnam Tourism Association chairman, Pham Ngoc Thuy, Quang Ninh Province’s Department of Tourism director, and Hoang Ba Nam Mong Cai City Party Committee secretary.
Pre-Covid-19 era, China was the world’s largest tourism source market delivering an estimated 155 million outbound trips in 2019 with a spend of USD255 billion.
The VNAT chairman spotlighted the ASEAN region’s efforts to exploit the China outbound travel market as it begins recovery after a two-year pause.
China is always the largest tourist source market of Vietnam, with more than 5.8 million visitor arrivals in 2019, accounting for 30% of the total number of international visitor arrivals to Vietnam.
The summit concluded that the “adjustment of China’s policy on pandemic prevention and the lifting of travel restrictions on 8 January 2023 is a positive signal for the tourism industry in the early days of 2023.”
VNAT’s Chairman asked localities and businesses to prepare the best service to welcome Chinese tourists and to ensure pandemic prevention. He said it was vital to build tourism products and services in line with the needs and preferences of Chinese tourists in a post-pandemic era while upgrading tourism facilities, enhancing tourism promotion and developing a promotional website in Chinese.
Chairman of the Vietnam Tourism Association, Vu The Binh said it was important to exploit the opportunities as the China market reopens and ensure the implementation of strict regulations on Covid-19 prevention.
