DUBAI, 11 March 2022: Registration is now live and free to
attend the Arabian Travel Mart due to take place 9 to 12 May 2022 at the Dubai
World Trade Centre.
Following more than two years of lockdowns travel restrictions that postponed trade events, ATM will reunite buyers, exhibitors and travel trade professionals from all over the world for four days of networking and business sourcing.
Last month the Arabian Travel Mart team released details of
a commissioned report undertaken by STR, a data and hotel analytic specialist.
The report, compiled at the end of 2021, showed hotel development in prime GCC
tourism destinations growing at six times the global average.
It highlighted massive hotel development plans in Makkah,
Doha, Riyadh, Medina, Muscat and Dubai despite the pandemic headwinds that the global
hospitality industry must contend with over the past two years.
Makkah and Doha are both expanding their hotel room
inventory by 76%, followed by Riyadh, Medina and Muscat with 66%, 60% and 59%
growth respectively.
The trend in hotel expansion indicates ATM 2022 organisers
can expect a significant presence at the show’s live event with hotel
participants from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and UAE.
In Dubai, rooms growth stands at 26%, which is still
extraordinary, considering its existing base and following years of continuous
hotel development – it is still more than double the global average.
Arabian Travel Market Exhibition Director ME Danielle Curtis
said, “With the global average sitting at 12%, we are witnessing multiple
GCC destinations growing at six times those rates.”
“These figures coupled with the ongoing relaxation in
travel restrictions will undoubtedly encourage travel professionals throughout
the Middle East and further afield. As such, we are expecting a substantial
increase in the number of participants at the ATM live event this year,
especially Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and the UAE,” she added.
Dubai’s Expo 2020 in Dubai will close on 31 March. The mega event has been the catalyst for accelerated hotel room growth in the UAE, with almost 50,000 rooms still to open across the Emirates. Following closely behind is Doha, with final preparations for the FIFA World Cup 2022 now being put in place. Doha is on track to deliver 23,000 hotel rooms pre-and post-World Cup 2022, adding to the country’s burgeoning hotel property portfolio.

MADRID, 11 March 2022: UNWTO is taking its time deciding
whether to suspend the Russian Federation’s membership after some members
called for a decision last week.
The UNWTO Executive Council deliberated the pros and cons at
Tuesday’s extraordinary council meeting and decided to pass the buck to an
extraordinary UNWTO General Assembly to rule on the Russian Federation’s
membership suspension.
The council’s Tuesday meeting responded to petitions by
Colombia, Guatemala, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia and Ukraine calling for the
suspension of the Russian Federation from membership of UNWTO.
UNWTO’s membership includes 160 member states, six associate
members and over 500 affiliate members representing the private sector,
educational institutions, tourism associations and local tourism authorities.
The 160 member states hold the core voting rights.
In a press statement on 9 March, the UNWTO promised the
“first-ever Extraordinary UNWTO General Assembly will convene in the
coming days.”
The request to oust Russia from UNWTO ranks is a first for
the usually placid and anodyne tourism body following demands for action filed
by several UNWTO members to the Executive Council.
“War is never a solution! Not now, and not ever. But it is
evident that not everybody is committed to this ideal,” said UNWTO
secretary-general Zurab Pololikashvili.
He added: “For this
reason, UNWTO must be loud and clear: If
you are a member, then you commit to our rules. And you must embrace our
values. So, when members go against our goals, there must be consequences.”
He said aggression against Ukraine was inconsistent with the
United Nations Charter and contravened the fundamental aim of the UNWTO as
enshrined in Article 3 of its statutes, which states the “promotion and
development of tourism with a view to contributing to economic development,
international understanding, peace, prosperity and universal respect for, and
observance of, human rights”, as the fundamental principles of the
organisation.
UNWTO said it stands fully behind the resolution of the UN
General Assembly and the vote of the UN Human Rights Council. The sovereignty,
political independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its
internationally recognised borders must be upheld, and the call of the United
Nations for peaceful resolution of the conflict must be followed.
Last week, the United Nations General Assembly voted
overwhelmingly in favour of a resolution demanding that Russia
“immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw all of its military
forces from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognised
borders”. The UNGA reaffirmed the paramount importance of the UN Charter
in the promotion of law among nations.
Also, last week, the UN Human Rights Council condemned the
actions of the Russian Federation “in the strongest possible terms”.
Its members voted in favour of establishing a special commission to investigate
alleged human rights violations, including possible war crimes in Ukraine.
UNWTO closed its statement confirming the final decision to
suspend Russia’s membership in the global tourism organisation was in the hands
of the UNWTO General Assembly, not the Executive Council.
“In accordance with its statutes, the UNWTO General Assembly
alone has the sovereign responsibility to decide on the suspension of
membership of any member state, if it found that the member persists in a
policy contrary to the fundamental aims of the organisation, as enshrined in
Article 3 of its statutes.”
DUBAI, UAE, 11 March 2022: The story of Bayan Al Turabi,
Emirates Flight Training Academy’s first international cadet pilot to graduate,
is one that celebrates women in aviation and highlights the importance of
female role models.
Bayan’s inspirational journey as a cadet at the Emirates
Flight Training Academy is a story of determination and success and a testament
to a dream come true celebrated on International Women’s Day 8 March.
Watch here as Bayan shares her personal story and credits her sister (also a certified pilot) for giving her the confidence to look at a career in aviation.
Growing up in Bahrain, Bayan lived in a house located
between the airport and the sea, and that’s when her love story with travel and
aviation began. Bayan’s family encouraged her and her siblings to aspire for
and achieve whatever they set their hearts on, telling them nothing is
impossible.
When asked about why she decided to become a pilot, Bayan
had this sentimental story to share: “From a very young age, I had an
extreme urge of wanting to explore the world. Since I had never met a female
pilot growing up, considering an aviation career was never an option for me.
Until I witnessed my sister fly a plane as a pilot for the first time, hearing
her voice through the PA presented a new potential to combine my passion for
travel with an established career in flying. Seeing her earn her stripes along
the way inspired and encouraged me to follow in her footsteps.”
“I hope that by sharing my story, I can encourage more
young women to consider aviation as their career too, or at least let them know
that they can reach for their dreams and blue skies if they set their hearts
and minds on it.”
On training at the Emirates Flight Training Academy and what
made it unique, Bayan said: “The training programme at EFTA is different,
as we don’t only train on single-engine piston aircraft, but also on jet
aircraft, which is something not found in most pilot training academies. In
addition to the six fully-motioned simulators, which provide you with a
realistic experience of flying an actual plane, the EFTA instructors also give
us tremendous support as they guide us through our training, shape our skills,
and prepare us as up-and-coming Captains in the long run. I have also developed
lifelong friendships with my cadet colleagues, extending beyond the walls of
the academy.”
Emirates Flight Training Academy vice president Capt Abdulla
Al Hammadi said this about Bayan and the Academy’s efforts in the world of
pilot training.
“EFTA is committed to providing opportunities for all
the ambitious and enthusiastic youth to become pilots. Our academy offers a
world-leading training programme for commercial pilots, which is delivered by experienced
instructors who come from all over the world. It’s not only about our advanced
training methods and technologies but also our inclusive learning environment
that’s open and accepting of all qualified candidates.
“EFTA is proud that our first international student to
graduate is a very competent young female aviator. Bayan is smart, ambitious
and diligent. I believe she has a promising future and lots of potentials to
contribute to the aviation industry. The reality is that the world is facing a
worldwide shortage of pilots, and here at EFTA, it is our goal to contribute to
the global aviation industry by grooming future generations of accomplished and
ambitious pilots from the UAE to the world.”
About Emirates Flight Training Academy
Located in Dubai South, the Emirates Flight Training Academy
was launched by Emirates in 2017 to qualify UAE nationals and international
students to become pilots. The academy combines cutting-edge learning
technologies and a modern fleet of 27 training aircraft (Cirrus SR22 G6
single-engine piston aircraft and Embraer Phenom 100EV very light jet aircraft)
to train cadets with no previous knowledge of flying.
Cadets are trained using simulators, single and multi-engine
aircraft, and are provided with theoretical knowledge of the aviation industry
to facilitate their transition into the airline business. The Emirates Flight
Training Academy underscores Emirates’ commitment as a global leader in
aviation to train and mentor pilots and meet the future talent requirements of
the aviation industry.
The Emirates Flight Training Academy offers more than just
an extensive training programme. Its state-of-the-art facility, which is equal
to 200 football fields, also provides students with incredible amenities. With
36 modern ground classrooms, an independent Air Traffic Control Tower, and a
dedicated 1,800 m long runway, cadet pilots can learn, train and fly
successfully without having to leave the academy’s premises.
SEPANG, Malaysia, 11 March 2022: AirAsia Malaysia
reintroducing fuel surcharges starting 8 March for all its domestic and
international flights.
The reintroduction of the fuel surcharge by AirAsia is to
offset the escalating jet fuel prices, which have now exceeded USD120 per
barrel and still climbing.
AirAsia stopped charging fuel surcharges in 2015. The
airline has instead been absorbing the oil price increase over the years, while
other carriers were already adjusting fares and increasing fuel and admin
charges to counter rising operating costs as early as 2018.
AirAsia Malaysia Fuel Surcharge rates effective 8 March 2022
The fuel surcharges are applicable for new flight bookings
made on and after 8 March 2022. All bookings made before 8 March 2022 will not
be affected.
AirAsia Malaysia CEO Riad Asmat said: “Airlines the world
over are affected by the rising oil prices and the continuous upward spiral
caused by the situation in Eastern Europe and other external factors have made
it imperative for us to reintroduce the fuel surcharge, despite our best
efforts to resist it for as long as we could.
“Since we last abolished fuel surcharges in 2015 when the
global fuel price was as low as USD48 a barrel, we have faced numerous
occasions when the fluctuations have caused other airlines to start imposing
surcharges. However, at AirAsia, we have been absorbing past increases in oil
prices to continue to provide the best value to our guests. Unfortunately, the
current situation where the oil price has shot up more than 160% than what it
was in 2015 has made it no longer sustainable.”
AirAsia has twice removed its fuel surcharge in the past. It
first introduced a fuel surcharge in 2005 and abolished it in 2008, and later
reintroduced it in 2011. In 2015 the jet fuel price was at its high of USD78
per barrel, but AirAsia decided to immediately remove the fuel surcharge as
soon as the price went down to around USD48 per barrel that year.
HELSINKI, 10 March 2022: Finnair reports
improvements in passenger traffic figures year-on-year, but figures remained
close to January 2022 levels due to the Omicron impact.
In February, Finnair carried 443,000 passengers, which was 407.5% more than in February 2021. The number of passengers in February 2022 was 1.8% less than in January 2022 (month-on-month figures are not fully comparable as there were three fewer days in February).
The Covid-19 impact, including the strict
travel restrictions imposed by several countries due to the Omicron variant,
still affected all passenger traffic figures.
It was evident in the North Atlantic and
Asian figures even though travel from both Finland and Sweden to the US.
Thailand opened in November, increasing the number of passengers carried by
Finnair. The impact of the crisis in Ukraine was not yet visible in February
figures.
The overall capacity, measured in Available
Seat Kilometres (ASK), increased in February by 473.4% year-on-year but
decreased by 11.8% month-on-month. Finnair operated, on average, 196 daily
flights (cargo-only included), which was 154.5% more than in February 2021 but
6.2% less than in January 2022.
The differences between capacity figures
compared to February 2021 are explained by the longer average stage length of
flights operated and by the larger gauge of aircraft operated.
Finnair’s traffic, measured in Revenue
Passenger Kilometres (RPKs), increased by 845.6% year-on-year but declined by
14.1% month-on-month. The Passenger Load Factor (PLF) increased by 17.3% points
to 43.9% year-on-year but decreased by 1.2% points month-on-month.
The ASK increase in Asian traffic was
249.2% year-on-year. In European traffic, the ASKs were up by 560.8%. The ASKs
in domestic traffic increased by 119.7%.
RPKs increased in Asian traffic by 951.5%,
in European traffic by 955.6% and in domestic traffic by 172.7% year-on-year.
The PLF was 32.4% in Asian traffic and
25.3% in North Atlantic traffic but both were supported by strong cargo
operations. The PLF was 63.8% in European traffic and 73.6% in domestic
traffic.
Passenger numbers increased in Asian
traffic by 950.7%, in European traffic by 602.1% and in domestic traffic by
167.0% year-on-year.
In North Atlantic traffic, ASK, RPK, and
passenger number growth rates year-on-year cannot be calculated as there were
no passenger flights in February 2021.
BANGKOK, 11 March 2022: The on and off PATA Annual Summit is off again at least until October this year, according to the latest announcement from the Pacific Asia Travel Association.
Repeatedly hit by lockdowns and severe travel restrictions,
the annual summit was first scheduled for Ras Al Khaimah from 15 to 18 May
2019. Then it was rescheduled for dates in March 2020 to enable delegates to
enjoy early bird visits to the Dubai Expo 2020.
That didn’t work out thanks to Covid-19’s global spread, and
neither did rescheduling the dates for an in-person event in March 2021 for the
same obvious reason. Covid-19 had us all locked down.
But we thought the summit had finally settled like a homing
pigeon in the calendar box, 27 to 25 March 2022, just in time to catch the last
moments of the Dubai Expo that closes on 31 March.
Now we are told that is not the case. The summit moves to
dates 25 to 27 October 2022. The only reassuring constant during all the
turmoil of the last two years Ras Al Khaimah remained true to its commitment to
host the summit whatever the year.
Hosted and financially underwritten by the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA), the three-day event will adopt the theme of Reconnecting the World.
The event will comprise conference presentations, leadership
task force sessions, workshops, the PATA board meetings and a travel mart
component. The summit agenda will play out in various locations across the
Emirate, including the Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah, The Ritz-Carlton Al Wadi
Desert and Al Hamra International Exhibition & Conference Centre.
“We are delighted that we will still be organising the
PATA Annual Summit in Ras Al Khaimah this year. It will bring together our
industry network to discuss opportunities and best practices to enable recovery
and sustainable growth,” said PATA CEO Liz Ortiguera.
Most PATA delegates will be pretty relieved to see the
annual summit back, although the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation
has sent energy costs soaring to new heights. If the war widens and oil and gas
taps turn off, it could inflict a catastrophic impact on the tourism industry’s
ability to recover from more than two years of heavy losses caused by the
Covid-19 pandemic and now a war in Europe.
MANILA, 10 March 2022: Busuanga, an island municipality in

DENPASAR, Bali, 10 March 2022: Following on from resuming visa-on-arrival for certain nationalities, Indonesia officially confirmed 8 March, the removal of quarantine for tourists arriving in Bali, Bintan and Batam.
One of Indonesia’s leading destination management companies, Asian Trails, provided a detailed update for tour operators worldwide outlining what is required when entering the three islands from abroad.
Here are the latest rules for entering Bali, Bintan and Batam from abroad. Note that at other ports of entry, quarantine still applies.
Depending on the nationality, visitors must present a B211A visa approval or request a visa on arrival;
Physical or digital evidence in English that shows the visitor is fully vaccinated at least 14 days before departure (no booster necessary);
The traveller must present the PeduliLindungi application on one’s smartphone and fill out the e-Hac Indonesia within the application (the PeduliLindungi app is available for download on Apple and Android devices);
The first negative PCR test taken in the country of origin must not be older than 48 hours before departure. In addition, the test result should ideally be attached in the PeduliLindungi app under the e-HAC section;

The second PCR test on arrival in Indonesia at the airport
remains. The traveller is not allowed to leave their booked hotel room until
the test results are confirmed. Once they have a negative result, they can
travel freely on the island.
A third PCR test is required on day three after arrival to be taken in the hotel. A traveller is allowed to leave Bali, Batam or Bintan and can travel around Indonesia after a third negative PCR test and having completed a four-day stay.
Should the second or third PCR show, a positive result but
the patient is asymptomatic or shows only light symptoms, isolation or
treatment is carried out in designated isolation hotels. More serious cases
will be moved to dedicated referral hospitals.
Commenting on the new rules for the three islands, Asian
Trails managing director Björn Schimanski said: “Overall, while some
restrictions remain, it is again possible to visit Bali and Indonesia without
major hassles after a pause of two years.”
Indonesia announced on 7 March that passport holders from the following countries no longer need to apply for a previously pre-approved visa (Visa B211A) when visiting Bali for tourism purposes.
Instead, a
visa-on-arrival is given after paying IDR500,000 (approx. USD35) upon arrival
at Denpasar International Airport only. The passport needs to be valid for at
least six months, and a return ticket or onward flight outside of Indonesia is
necessary. Covid-19 related documents are still needed.

Meanwhile, Bali has removed the Covid-19 test
requirement for double-vaccinated domestic travellers. Bali’s administration
revoked both the PCR and antigen test requirements for domestic travellers who
have received their second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine effective 8 March.
KUALA LUMPUR, 10 March 2022: Malaysia will reopen its border to international visitors starting 1 April, allowing fully vaccinated travellers to enter the country without quarantine, the country’s Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced Tuesday (8 March).
Visitors must have a pre-departure RT-PCR test result, and
24 hours after arrival in Malaysia, they must test negative (RTK-Antigen under
professional supervision).
Currently, fully vaccinated visitors are limited to entering
Malaysia via the Singapore – Langkawi travel bubble.
Travellers who wish to enter Malaysia need only to download
the MySejahtera tracking application and fill up a pre-departure travel form.
International travellers will no longer be required to apply for MyTravelPass.
Be prepared
Meanwhile, tourism and cultural industry players need to make initial preparations to receive tourists from abroad, Malaysia’s Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukrit told the Bernama news agency.
She said the parties involved should also intensify
promotional activities and be more creative in marketing Malaysian tourism
products and locations to the global market.
“The decision to reopen the country’s borders to foreign
tourists will facilitate the country’s economic recovery after Covid-19,
especially those involving the entire chain of tourism, arts and cultural
industry players in the country,” she said in a statement on the country’s
border reopening Wednesday.
“MOTAC (Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture) remains optimistic that the industry will rise again and be able to make Malaysia popular again among international tourists,” she said.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob
announced that Malaysia would enter the Transition to Endemic Phase as well as
the reopening of the country’s borders from 1 April.
Describing the announcement as great news for tourism
industry players, she said it provided an opportunity for industry players to
revive the international tourism sector after two years of being hit by the
Covid-19 pandemic.
Nancy said her ministry will always provide cooperation and support to all efforts to be implemented by all government agencies involved to succeed in the country’s borders reopening.
