Overseas Arrivals Slip-Sliding toward 2022
Colombia, however, is on course to possible all-time record year for U.S. arrivals. There were no real surprises in the National Travel & Tourism Office (NTTO) monthly posting of overseas visitor traffic to the United States. Published not long after the last issue of INBOUND, the latest data—for the month of October and for the year-to-date in 2021— told us that LATAM country markets once again dominated the Top 15 dominated the rankings. As we’ve pointed out, many of the LATAM countries have had less stringent restrictions on travel. And they’ve benefited from air service that has a strong network of shorter connecting flights to the USA, with some routes taking as little as three hours. (Cartagena, Colombia to Miami is just under three hours.)
Even so, one has to stand back and look for reasons why the numbers look as if they are going to go off the charts for Colombia. It set a record for visitor traffic to the United States in 2019 (944 thousand). And through October 2021, it had delivered a little more than 850,000 travelers to the USA. It is doubtful that Colombia will reach or surpass the record year of 2019, but it should cheer those who market to the country that one of them is actually nearing a record.
Most of the numbers still don’t give a clue as to what to expect in December, as actual air service to key markets to the United States from-and-to long-haul air traffic did not begin until November 8. However, when the data from November are released in late December, we will have actual data telling us if a genuine recovery is under way.

Another Survey: NYC is Travel’s Top City
Expedia Q3 Report Shows New York City is APAC Traveler Favorite …
“Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it: New York, New York …”
(From “New York, New York”—John Kander & Fred Ebb)
A funny thing happened on our way to finding out which destination cities were the favorites of travelers from the Asia Pacific (APAC) region of the world. We learned, or deduced, that more of those who actually booked travel to top destination cities in the world’s four regions—APAC (Asia-Pacific), Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), Latin America (LATAM) and North America (NORAM) from—put New York City in their top ten cities booked.
This is significant because (1) New York is the only city to be a top-ten favorite in all four world regions when AIPAC travelers are booking; and (2) AIPAC nations include China, India, and Indonesia—three of the world’s four largest by population. (3.1 billion out of a total world population of 7.9 billion. https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ )
Top 10 Booked Destinations
Third Quarter 2021
| APAC | EMEA | LATAM | NORAM |
| Seoul | London | Mexico City | New York |
| Seogwipo | Dubai | New York | Las Vegas |
| Tokyo | Paris | Cancun | Los Angeles |
| Busan | Istanbul | Rio de Janeiro* | Orlando |
| Jeju City | Copenhagen | São Paulo* | Chicago |
| New York* | Stockholm | Las Vegas | Cancun |
| Shanghai | Barcelona | Playa del Carmen | Boston* |
| Naha* | Berlin* | Paris* | San Diego |
| Sapporo* | New York | Madrid* | Honolulu |
| London* | Edinburgh* | Los Angeles* | Denver* |
* New Top 10 Destination
Source: Expedia Group media solutions
The data above are contained in Expedia’s “5 Key Trends for Asia Pacific Travelers in Q3.”
Following is a quick summary of the trends discussed in the report, which is authored by Celine Wickerhoff.
1. APAC travelers were cautious about traveling … until borders opened in September. When looking at search data for APAC-based travelers, there’s a marked difference between the first two months of the quarter and September. In July and August interest in travel dipped by 10 percent compared to the previous quarter as a number of travel restrictions were applied across the region.
2. Pandemic developments impacted their destination choices. One of the most noticeable aspects when comparing APAC’s search and booking data is how clearly the impact of COVID developments at the time impacted the trends. Interest in Osaka and Hong Kong made them newcomers to the most-searched list. So did the two major international destinations of New York and London.
3. They booked less time into the future. Mirroring the trend seen globally, and in every region bar LATAM, travelers in APAC booked trips with increasingly shorter lead times: bookings 3 weeks or less prior to travel grew to account for 65 percent of all bookings, up from 60 percent in Q2. This would seem to fit with the idea that the region’s travelers retained a cautious outlook, preferring to plan less time into an unpredictable future.
4. They did book more for November and December, but without the holiday search frenzy.
As highlighted in the global report, considerable interest and booking volumes for the seasonal period encompassing U.S. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve were a notable factor in Q3 in North America and EMEA. Understandably, given the cultural differences in much of the APAC region the dynamic was not quite the same – but still very positive. Bookings from APAC travelers for trips in November and December grew by triple digits compared to the same months in 2020.
5. They didn’t travel as much for business. Based on demand seen on the Egencia corporate travel brand, business travel in APAC went against the global trend and fell back, by 45 percent, in Q3 versus the previous quarter. However, that was still 50% more than in Q3 2020, so progress is still being seen. When people in APAC did travel for business, it tended to be to the big commercial cities of China and India. Of the region’s top 10 most in-demand cities in Q3, five were located in India (New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad) and three were in China (Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen).

Inbound Student Market Stays Strong
Those studying in U.S. manage to get here and stay here despite the pandemic.
The recent release of the much-awaited 2021 Open Doors® Report on International Educational Exchange prompted a reaction among U.S. suppliers and destinations that promote and market the U.S. travel and tourism product that—while not the type of item that caused people to ring bells, pop corks and celebrate—was one that warranted a deep sigh of relief.
According to this year’s (2020-21) edition of the Open Doors study, the million or so student visitors who study and work-study in the USA declined in numbers by just 15 percent (See tables below). Much of the relief was due to that fact that that students from China did about the same, dropping from a total of 372.5 thousand last year to 317.3 thousand for the 2020-21 school year. Were the Chinese student market measured as a country source market, it would rank number four, year-to-date, behind Columbia, Peru and Ecuador.
Of course, once international inbound visitor traffic returns to normal (most analysts are pegging figures to those of 2019, prior to the global pandemic that ravaged international travel from March 2019 until the month of November 2021), the traditional top markets, starting with the UK, Japan, China and Germany, will probably emerge as the top four overseas source markets.
It is probable that many international students—they comprise about 5 percent of the overall student population in America—remained in the United States rather than risk returning home and finding themselves unable to return to the USA, which has come to realize the economic impact of this sector of the international travel market, which the U.S. Department of Commerce has estimated contributes $39 billion annually to the U.S. economy.
Following are the key tables from this year’s 2021 Open Doors® Report, which is a product of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and the Institute of International Education.

Brazil—Closing out 2021 with Confidence
For so much of 2021, the tenor of the coverage of developments in the Brazilian economy and its travel and tourism sector was one of a muted confidence. And as the year comes to an end, one can probably drop the word “muted.” This does not mean that there are not challenges ahead, but it reflects the way in which the nation, in the past decade has dealt with five economic recessions, political turmoil and the failure to field a World Cup winning team since 2002.
In the just released Brazilian Monthly Overview for November (it is project of both PANROTAS and FECOMERCIOSP, the São Paulo-based business and economic research organization, one finds that confidence in the nation’s economy is steady, activity is strong in many sectors of the economy and, provided that the COVID-19 virus has been more or less contained, it will continue to improve.
Certainly, there are concerns. The rate of inflation is a little high, but that might be one of the effects of a national economy whose GDP is expected to grow by more than 5 percent once the year is over (according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development).
Click here to access the PDF of the Monthly Overview.
Meanwhile, Carolina Sass de Haro, managing partner of TRVL Lab—it is a joint project that includes PANROTAS and several other companies—told a session at FÓRUM PANROTAS 2021 held November 29-30 in São Paulo that the profile of the traveler has changed.
According to results of a survey of Brazilians conducted by TRVL Lab:
—51.3 percent of respondents have already combined leisure and business travel;
—48.5 percent will visit tourist attractions in the corporate travel destination; and
—72.8 percent say that they have found effective solutions for remote work.
—With many travelers worried about travel’s impact on the earth, 61 percent of respondents said they favor local suppliers in their purchasing options;
—77 percent of Brazilian luxury travelers prefer WhatsApp to contact their agency;
—79.7 percent use smartphones to research destinations and travel; and
— 73 precent prefer online tools for check-in and check-out.
—Meanwhile, everyone’s experience with COVID-19 shows how fleeting life can be and how tourism can deliver experiences that value life and bring knowledge and learning for 41.6 percent of respondents;
—40.4 percent of businesses believe that travel with associated content and knowledge is a trend;
—56.1 percent of travelers want to live exclusive experiences;
—80.1 percent of business travelers indicating that their trips will be more planned and will have multiple activities;
—54.5 percent saying that the reduction in travel has been beneficial for relationships in their family; and
—49 percent of survey respondents telling us that they do not intend to travel with the same frequency as before the global pandemic.
