BWH unveils global masterbrand under WorldHotels

October 29, 2026

BANGKOK, Thailand, 29 October 2026: Leading global hospitality enterprise BWH Hotels announced Wednesday a comprehensive transformation, bringing more than 4,000 hotels and 18 brands under a single loyalty programme and global masterbrand, WorldHotels.

The move aims to strengthen portfolio awareness, clarify the experience for travellers and hotel owners, and accelerate growth through a unified platform and enhanced digital capabilities, while delivering a guest experience powered by local expertise.

Grounded in rigorous consumer research and guest feedback, this strategic evolution reflects how today’s travellers discover, evaluate, and book hotels, while preserving each independent property’s local character.

“We have a hotel for virtually every travel occasion, but many travellers only know a portion of our portfolio,” said Larry Cuculic, President and Chief Executive Officer, WorldHotels. “WorldHotels gives us a clearer way to tell our story. By connecting our brands, loyalty program and digital capabilities together under one masterbrand, we’re making it easier for travellers to understand who we are today, while enabling our hoteliers to better compete on a global scale and preserving the independence and individuality of our 4,000 hotels.”

Local Expertise at Global Scale

Unlike many large hospitality companies built around standardised experiences, WorldHotels is building its platform around local expertise. The transformation is designed to scale the knowledge of thousands of independent hoteliers throughout the global network — surfacing neighbourhood insights from on-the-ground hotel teams and making those local experiences easier for travellers to discover across the portfolio.

While individual property identities, signage and iconic flags will remain unchanged, the WorldHotels platform will expand cross-portfolio discovery, strengthen direct relationships with guests and increase visibility for hotel owners worldwide.

WorldHotels Rewards: A Unified Loyalty Programme for 70 Million Members

Central to the transformation is WorldHotels Rewards, a new, unified loyalty program that combines Best Western Rewards® and WorldHotels Rewards, bringing together approximately 70 million existing members. Simple, transparent, and rewarding, the new program introduces three streamlined membership tiers while protecting all current benefits, including status matching, member rates, and points that never expire. Members will retain their existing points value, enjoy additional opportunities to earn points, and gain access to a more connected global portfolio and a simplified rewards experience.

Additional details about the new loyalty programme will be announced on 16 November 2026.

“WorldHotels Rewards was designed with our guests at the heart of every decision. Through extensive consumer research and member feedback, we learned travellers want a loyalty program that feels intuitive and transparent, that recognises them wherever they travel,” said Joelle Park, Chief Marketing Officer, WorldHotels. “By bringing our loyalty program together under WorldHotels Rewards, we’re making it easier for guests to discover the full breadth of our portfolio, find the right hotel for every journey and feel welcomed wherever they stay.”

Enhanced Digital Platform Designed to Scale Local Hospitality

To power this new rewards program and modernise guest engagement, WorldHotels has invested heavily in its digital infrastructure, launching a new website and redesigned mobile app. At the heart of the experience is a proprietary discovery platform built on more than 10,000 hours of insights gathered from hotel teams worldwide.

These insights will help travellers discover hotels, neighbourhoods, and experiences across the portfolio, with a user experience that makes it easy to manage bookings and loyalty activity. By connecting local expertise, loyalty, and digital discovery on a single platform, WorldHotels helps travellers explore more of its portfolio while increasing visibility and direct-booking opportunities for hotel owners.

*WorldHotels brings together local expertise and global reach to help travellers discover more destinations and experiences across its portfolio.*

WorldHotels Collection: Independent, Character-Rich Hotels

As part of this transformation, the portfolio’s upscale and luxury hotels will now be unified under WorldHotels Collection, a global platform for independent properties that preserves the individuality that increasingly drives traveller choice. WorldHotels Collection comprises six categories: WorldHotels Luxury, WorldHotels Elite, WorldHotels Distinctive, WorldHotels Crafted, WorldHotels Backdrop and WorldHotels Residences.

“The future of luxury hospitality isn’t about standardisation. It’s about helping exceptional independent properties compete and grow on a global stage, while remaining true to their identity,” said Ron Pohl, President of WorldHotels Collection. “WorldHotels Collection sits at the intersection of independence and scale, giving owners access to the commercial power, technology and demand drivers of a major hospitality network while maintaining the tailored, local experiences today’s travellers are seeking.”

*Goodwood Park Hotel, Singapore — part of the WorldHotels portfolio, retaining its distinctive heritage and individual identity.*

WorldHotels Collection is expanding in some of the hospitality industry’s fastest-growing categories: WorldHotels Residences combines private homeownership with luxury hospitality services and brand affiliation, while WorldHotels Backdrop connects travellers with distinctive destinations where immersive natural settings and elevated accommodations converge. Together, these platforms expand growth opportunities for developers, owners, and independent operators seeking global distribution and brand recognition.

Indian travellers seek a change of scene

October 29, 2026

SINGAPORE, 29 October 2026: For Indian travellers, the October-to-November festive season is increasingly becoming an opportunity to combine festival celebrations with a change of scene, Agoda reports.

With Dussehra, Durga Puja and Diwali approaching, accommodation search trends on digital travel platform Agoda show travellers looking at a mix of international experiences and domestic leisure breaks.

Based on searches made between 1 August and 30 September 2026 for stays between 15 October and 30 November, Indian travellers most often searched Bangkok, Phuket and Tokyo, while Goa, Puri and Udaipur were the most popular domestic destinations.

Asia leads festival tour itineraries

International travel interest for Indian travellers is led by destinations across Asia, with Thailand, Vietnam and Japan among the most searched countries, recording 55%, 86% and 125% growth in searches, respectively, compared to last year.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, recorded almost 262% year-on-year growth in searches among the top international destinations, followed by Hong Kong SAR, China, at nearly 138%, indicating growing interest across a mix of destinations that offer cultural, culinary and leisure experiences.

At the city or resort level, Bangkok and Phuket in Thailand recorded 65% and 51% growth in searches, respectively, offering travellers a combination of cultural landmarks such as the Grand Palace and Wat Pho along with local food and coastal experiences.

In Vietnam, Phu Quoc recorded 124% growth in searches by Indian travellers, with its beaches, island-hopping experiences and night markets offering a mix of leisure and local experiences. Hanoi recorded a 94% increase, with attractions such as the Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake offering a glimpse of the city’s heritage. Tokyo also recorded 109% growth in searches from India, with the October to November travel window coinciding with its autumn foliage season, when spots such as Shinjuku Gyoen become popular for ‘Kōyō’, Japan’s tradition of enjoying the changing colours of the leaves.

Festive escapes return to perennial favourites

Within India, festive travel trends reflect a mix of leisure, cultural and nature-led getaways. Goa saw nearly 43% year-over-year growth in searches, while Udaipur grew by nearly 29%, reflecting continued interest in established leisure and heritage destinations. Puri recorded 318% growth in searches, followed by Ooty at 166% and Munnar at 107%, pointing to interest in coastal, hill and nature-focused breaks. Varanasi also saw 92% year-over-year growth, adding to interest in destinations tied to India’s cultural and spiritual heritage.

Agoda Country Director, Indian Subcontinent & Indian Ocean Islands, Gaurav Malik shared: “The festive period has traditionally been when travel and celebration come together, but the destinations people are considering reveal that there are now various ways to spend this time. Interest spans beach holidays, city breaks, cultural destinations, and hill station escapes, suggesting travellers choose destinations around the experience they want, rather than simply following a conventional itinerary. For Agoda, this also means helping people discover the right stay and experiences around increasingly diverse ways of travelling.”

PATA posts annual tourism monitor results

October 29, 2026

BANGKOK, 29 October 2026: The Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) released its Annual Tourism Monitor 2026 on Tuesday, claiming tourism in the Asia-Pacific region is nearing full recovery when compared with the post-COVID era

International visitor arrivals (IVAs) across 44 destinations reached 239 million in the early months of 2026, up 2.9% from the same period in 2025 and at 96.3% of the corresponding 2019 level.

With tourism recovery now largely complete at the regional level, growth is beginning to moderate, while performance continues to vary considerably between destinations.

In 2025, the region recorded 700.2 million international visitor arrivals across 46 destinations, reaching 99.3% of the 2019 total. Asia accounted for 74.7% of all arrivals, with 523.1 million visitors, while the Pacific reached 89.4% of its 2019 level and the Americas recovered to 94.2%.

Changing tourism landscape

The latest figures highlight the different paths destinations are taking as the region moves beyond the initial post-pandemic rebound. The USA recorded the most arrivals among the destinations covered, followed by Hong Kong SAR; Macao, China; Türkiye; and Mexico. Thailand and Japan also remained among the region’s leading destinations by arrival volume, while Vietnam and Korea (ROK) recorded particularly strong growth.

Korea (ROK) and Vietnam stand out for combining strong year-on-year growth with arrivals well above their comparable 2019 levels. Korea (ROK) recorded 10.7 million international visitor arrivals (IVAs), up 21.4% year-on-year and reaching 128.4% of its 2019 level. Vietnam recorded 12.3 million IVAs, up 14.9% year-on-year and reaching 144.5% of its 2019 volume.

Their performance contrasts with softer results in several established markets. The USA recorded 27 million IVAs, down 1% year-on-year, while Thailand recorded 15.9 million, down 4.9%. In 2025, arrivals also softened in several major markets, including the USA, Thailand, India and Cambodia.

From recovery to a new growth phase

“The recovery of tourism across Asia Pacific is an important achievement for our industry, but recovery does not mean that the environment has become predictable,” said PATA CEO Noor Ahmad Hamid.

“We are operating in a world where disruption has become a constant – from geopolitical conflicts and natural disasters to economic pressures and changes in travel policies. Our ability to adapt, work together, and respond to changing traveller needs will be increasingly important.”

As the region moves beyond the initial post-pandemic rebound, the focus is shifting from restoring visitor numbers to building sustainable and resilient growth.

Travel facilitation and connectivity will remain important. Visa policies, air connectivity, and other transportation links can quickly influence where people choose to travel. At the same time, higher travel costs and more complicated travel procedures can affect demand.

The report also highlights the importance of diversification. Destinations that can attract visitors from a wider range of source markets and encourage longer stays can better manage changes in demand. For destinations that have already recovered beyond their 2019 levels, managing visitor flows and encouraging travel beyond peak periods and major gateways will become increasingly important.

“Tourism has shown remarkable resilience over the past several years,” added Hamid. “The next phase will require us to think differently about growth. Success will not simply be measured by how many visitors we receive, but also by the value tourism creates for destinations, businesses, communities, and travellers.”

The PATA Annual Tourism Monitor 2026 provides the latest analysis of international visitor arrivals across the Asia Pacific region and examines the trends shaping tourism as the industry moves from pandemic recovery towards a new phase of growth.

The report is available for purchase on the PATA website at www.pata.org/research-q1v63g6n2dw/p/annual-tourism-monitor-2026.

It is also available as a complimentary benefit to eligible PATA members. Access the PATA Info Hub for more information.

IATA: Payment process costly for airlines

By

Newsdesk

-

October 29, 2026

SINGAPORE, 29 October 2026: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has released new data demonstrating the rising cost burden of payment processing.

Airlines worldwide incurred USD24.5 billion in payment costs to process USD1.05 trillion in sales in 2025, a 10.4% increase from 2023.

That far exceeds the overall growth in travel sales over the same period, which rose 7.7% to USD977 billion in 2023.

The average cost per transaction was USD5 per passenger. In comparison, IATA forecasts that airlines will make a net profit of USD4.50 per passenger in 2026.

“The airline industry is hyper-competitive, capital-intensive, and famously low-margin. In such an environment, every cost item needs careful review. The fact that payment transaction costs are increasing faster than industry revenues is unsustainable and, despite significant technological advances, highlights the critical need for greater cost efficiency,” said IATA’s Interim Director General and CFO Sandrine Le Borgne,

Further analysis of the USD24.5 billion cost of payments in 2025 revealed that:

USD20.7 billion (84.5% of the total) covered payment fees and the direct cost of completing each transaction.
USD2.9 billion (11.8% of the total) was related to airline operating costs, including various payment systems, delayed cash flow, staff, and compliance.
USD0.9 billion (3.7% of the total) was lost due to fraud or uncollected sales.

Cards had the highest cost per transaction, with average payment fees of 2.53%, higher than the estimated overall average of 1.97%. The lowest-cost payment option was 0.01%.

IATA is exploring several solutions and guidance that will bring efficiency to payments to airlines, including:

Introduce alternative, lower-cost payment methods for passengers. The 2025 IATA Global Passenger Survey found that 29% of passengers prefer a digital wallet and 8% prefer a local instant payment solution.

IATA Pay and IATA Financial Gateway (IFG) help airlines meet the challenges of changing passenger payment preferences. IATA Pay lets passengers use local instant payment solutions to purchase travel and is rolled out in 34 countries with 38 payment schemes. IFG is a platform that lets airlines and travel suppliers manage, optimise, and control travel industry payments across multiple sales channels in more than 170 countries, using 300-plus payment methods.

Improve transparency on agency card costs. Transparency In Payments lets airlines define their payment policy and framework within the IATA Billing & Settlement Plan (BSP). This lets airlines decide whether to accept an agency card as an alternative to a customer card or other cost-effective BSP options, such as IATA EASY PAY.

Make corporate travel more cost-efficient. Taking the opportunity presented by the industry move to Offers & Orders, IATA is working with airlines and corporate customers to develop a new approach to corporate travel payments, designed to improve payment efficiency, simplify reconciliation, and provide richer data, while giving airlines and their corporate customers greater choice in how payments are managed.

Help airlines evaluate their payment options. IATA has developed the new Airline Payment Framework – Management Foundation, which will help airlines align commercial, financial, and operational priorities to ensure payments support both customer experience and financial performance needs.

“In addition to cost-efficiency, IATA research shows that providing passengers with alternative payment methods could also have a revenue-generating impact. About one in five ancillary purchase attempts are not completed because the initial payment attempt was refused and no other method was offered. Enabling more payment options has the potential to help airlines realise some of this lost revenue,” said Le Borgne.
