As travel readies for rebound, tourism stakeholders should assess how to build back better, in ways that boost economies, while promoting more sustainable and inclusive growth, opines Mike Orgill, Airbnb’s director of policy for Asia Pacific.
The past year has been one of many firsts – including usually bustling, world-renowned tourist attractions falling silent for the first time in a long time. Beaches, restaurants and marketplaces stood empty, along with museums and art galleries and other typically crowded cultural centres.
As the excited chatter of human voices returns to these places, we’re reminded of both the powerful connecting force of travel and its ability to breathe economic life into communities near and far. The tourism industry plays a critical role in bringing people together to foster growth that benefits everyone.
