      The Worldwide Luxury Travel Industry is Expected to Reach $1,574 Billion by 2028

      by

      The Global Luxury Travel Market size is expected to reach $1,574 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 6.3% CAGR during the forecast period.Exclusive and one-of-a-kind experiences, and highly individualized services, are linked with luxury travel. The sector is being driven by rising expenditure by affluent tourists who want to see undiscovered places and have novel experiences. The industry has been developing as a result of the rising trend of short vacations as well as the worldwide expanding tourist industry.
      Given that spending on art, restaurants, culture, guides, and athletic events by luxury travelers is essential to the local economies of the places they visit, luxury travel plays a significant role in the distribution of wealth around the world. Travelers are searching for flexible schedules that combine entertainment and relaxation in order to build their own special experiences.

      Numerous tourists, especially wealthy ones, are drawn to the growing popularity of cruises, yachts, and small ships. One of the most prominent customers in this market is thought to be High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs). As a result, businesses in the sector have been focusing more on luxury water-based travel, like cruises.
      Additionally, the prevalence of internet research has grown dramatically over time. During the forecast period, high-tech (smart) rooms are expected to fuel demand for luxury lodging and travel, offering guests total control over how they use their accommodations and choose to travel. The industry is expanding as a result of rising internet usage and the availability of social media. Also, the number of travel tales shared on social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, and blogging platforms has multiplied.ADVERTISEMENT
      COVID-19 Impact Analysis
      Worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on every industry. Around the world, the tourism sector has been severely impacted, which has a negative effect on its related industries, including travel agencies, hospitality, tour operators, and all types of transportation services. The remaining people stayed at home out of dread of the virus itself, while almost the whole world’s population adjusted to their way of life under various travel limitations. As a result, the tourism industry virtually stopped.
      Market Growth Factors
      Travel Guidelines and Rules
      Regarding VISA policies, each nation has its own distinct set of guidelines for visitors of various nationalities. Governments are, however, more frequently forcing tourists to get travel insurance in order to get a VISA. To visit countries like France, the United States, Norway, Belgium, Luxembourg, Finland, and Poland, among others, one must have travel health insurance.
      This clause exists to make sure that visitors are adequately covered in the case of a medical emergency due to the high costs of medical care and hospitalization in the host nations. The travel and tourism business has consistently grown during the past ten years.

      Social Media influencing travelers
      Every element of our life, including the way we consume, has been altered by social media. Businesses have been profoundly impacted by these advances, mostly because they have made new marketing methods possible.
      Undoubtedly a component of all of these is tourism, one of the most dynamic economic sectors in the world. People are now encouraged to talk about their travels. Social networking has changed how people make decisions as a result.
      Marketing Restraining Factor:
      Rising cases of chronic diseases restraining people to travel
      The travel sector has been almost paralyzed by the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an effect on the tourism sector because of the resulting travel restrictions and decline in demand from tourists. The spread of the coronavirus has had a significant impact on the tourist sector because several nations have imposed travel restrictions in an effort to stop it.

      China Airlines Sets Another Example for Sustainability in the Airline Industry

      by

      Taiwan-based carrier China Airlines has won extensive recognition for its sustainability philosophy and accomplishments by winning more than 10 national and international awards in 2022 thus far.China Airlines scored another win at the “2022 National Sustainable Development Awards” (NSDA) of the Executive Yuan, emerging from a field of more than 100 businesses and organizations to receive the NSDA award in the corporate category. China Airlines won the award on its first foray at NSDA, thanks to outstanding performances in the sustainable operations, social service, digital innovation, and green procurement aspects. China Airlines became the first airlines in Taiwan to win the award, representing yet another example of excellence in sustainability. Chairman Su-Chien Hsieh accepted the award on behalf of China Airlines.
      During his presentation of the NSDA awards, Premier Tseng-Chang Su encouraged everyone to support the national vision on sustainable development. More than a hundred businesses and organizations registered for the four categories of NSDA this year, these being Education, Business, Non-Government Organizations, and Government Agencies. After a very competitive three-stage judging process, the sustainability initiatives of China Airlines caught the eye of the judges, who presented the airline with the award for the Business category. The award reflected the many successes achieved by China Airlines in implementing the “Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”.
      China Airlines is a longstanding supporter of ESG. Environmental, social and corporate governance are incorporated into its business strategy and integrated with international sustainability initiatives as well. Implementation principles were developed using the UN SDGs and Taiwan SDGs as a reference. Active efforts were made to connect the business with other stakeholders to promote related activities and fulfill their corporate social responsibilities together. This proved to be the deciding factor in the winning of the award this time.
      China Airlines is continuing to employ innovative methods to strengthen its corporate sustainability and competitiveness. It was the first company in the domestic airline and transportation industries to issue a TCFD independent report. China Airlines also answered the call of the SkyTeam for the “Sustainable Flight Challenge” by operating a demonstration flight. The entire A321neo fleet used 10% sustainable aviation fuel for their delivery flights; the goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 has been set to protect the global climate and environment. China Airlines recently partnered with the Yang Ming Spring food and beverage brand, winner of the Michelin Green Star for two consecutive years, to create the “Clean & Green Plant-based Cuisine.” The all-new in-flight menu, promoting low-carbon cuisine as well as quality and diversity in in-flight catering, is yet another demonstration of the airline’s prowess in green sustainability.
      China Airlines has won the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA) for nine consecutive years so far. This included further successes at the TCSA and Global Corporate Sustainability Awards (GCSA) in 2022. This year, China Airlines was chosen by the authoritative Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) as a constituent stock for the seventh time and won first place in the global aviation industry – a truly world-class performance. It also won the Titan Award at the “National Enterprise Environmental Protection Awards (NEEPA).” The winning of the National Sustainable Development Award is proof that China Airlines’ proactive efforts in sustainability have not gone unnoticed. China Airlines continues to promote sustainability initiatives with the goal of creating a more inclusive society.ADVERTISEMENT

      SWISS promotes Swiss innovation and invests in Synhelion

      by

      f.l.t.r.: Dominique Fehlmann (Head of Legal, Business Development & Corporate Responsibility SWISS), Dieter Vranckx (CEO SWISS), Dr. Philipp Furler (CEO & Founder Synhelion), Dr. Gianluca Ambrosetti (CEO & Founder Synhelion)
      SWISS has acquired a financial interest in Swiss-based technology company Synhelion in a further step to help bring solar fuels to market.The investment further underlines SWISS’s firm commitment to sustainability and to helping accelerate the process of bringing solar fuels to market. Switzerland’s biggest airline is putting a particular focus on such fuels in view of their strong scalability. Synhelion’s technology also offers sizeable development potential, and holds many strategic advantages over other technological approaches. To take one example, the Synhelion plant’s inbuilt heat storage facility enables the plant to be operated 24/7 with no need to draw on further renewable energy from the existing electricity grid.
      “Synhelion, SWISS and the Lufthansa Group have been collaborating very constructively on bringing solar fuels to market for the aviation sector for more than two years now,” explains SWISS CEO Dieter Vranckx. “And we are delighted that, with our new financial involvement, we can now make a further substantial contribution to helping Synhelion scale up and commercialize its innovative alternative fuel product.”
      Synhelion will use the funds generated by this latest financing round to expand its solar fuel production plant to industrial dimensions and operate it accordingly. The company has also set itself an ambitious timetable for the scale-up concerned.
      “Our strategic collaboration with SWISS and the Lufthansa Group and the synergies this generates are hugely valuable and enable us to tailor our technology, our products and our business model perfectly to the market,” says Philipp Furler, Synhelion’s co-founder and CEO. “It’s great to see SWISS and the Lufthansa Group underpin their confidence in Synhelion through this investment, and to see them lead the way in the aviation sector by making this key contribution to scaling up our production. And we’re delighted to welcome SWISS to our network of investors.”
      Sustainable fuels essential to achieving aviation’s climate goalsADVERTISEMENTSustainable aviation fuels (SAF) such as Synhelion’s solar fuel are essential to the achievement of the ambitious climate goals within the aviation sector. So helping to bring such fuels to market in sufficient volumes is a top priority. Doing so will require new forms of alliances and collaborations. “In teaming up with Synhelion, we’re not only helping to bring solar fuels to market,” SWISS CEO Vranckx adds. “We’re promoting Swiss innovation, too.” 
      Decades of commitment from the Lufthansa Group
      As a member of the Lufthansa Group, SWISS is further building on decades of experience in trialling and using sustainable aviation fuels. By participating in research programmes, pilot projects and alliances, the Lufthansa Group has steadily accumulated an extensive expertise in SAF technologies and their market development. SWISS and the Lufthansa Group are also evolving specific SAF initiatives for their private customers and corporate clients to further accelerate and finance the refinement of these technologies and bring their products to market in sufficient quantities. The resulting volumes of SAF should help send tangible global signals of demand for such products in the form of long-term procurement agreements. The Lufthansa Group is presently Europe’s biggest user of sustainable aviation fuel.

      BOSTON KICKS-OFF THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BOSTON TEA PARTY’S COMMEMORATIVE YEAR

      by

      Meet Boston, the 250th Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party Board of Advisors (BOA) and Revolution 250, a consortium of organizations working together to commemorate the 250th anniversaries of the events that led to the American Revolution, officially kick-off the 250th commemorative anniversary year of the Boston Tea Party, a momentous event that forever changed the course of American history.The 250th Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, the “single most important event leading up to the American Revolution,” will occur on Saturday, December 16, 2023.  Boston will not only be the FIRST to mark the 250th anniversary of a landmark historic event in the United States’ journey to independence and the founding of a free nation, but also will be the epicenter, and on the world’s stage, in honoring the anniversary of the historic event that is the Boston Tea Party.
      “The Boston Tea Party helped spark the Revolutionary War and is one of the earliest milestones on the path to our nation’s founding,” says Rosie Rios, Chair of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission. “It was a dramatic demonstration of the colonists’ willingness to fight for truths they knew to be self-evident—that we all have the unalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As we approach the nation’s semiquincentennial—the 250th commemoration of when our leaders firmly established those beliefs through the Declaration of Independence—it is crucial that we recognize the vital role the Boston Tea Party played in shaping the America we know today.”
      Boston will be in the spotlight in honoring this historic event officially launching a commemorative year of celebrations today and will be leading the way as America begins to celebrate all major historic 250th anniversaries leading up to 2026, the semiquincentennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States of America.
      According to Martha Sheridan, Executive Director, Meet Boston and 250th Boston Tea Party Anniversary BOA Co-Chair, “The 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party will be a spectacular commemorative event. It will have a profound impact on our industry and the greater Boston economy during a critical time of year. As our nation approaches its 250th birthday in 2026, it’s fitting that Boston should be in the global spotlight as we celebrate the catalytic events that led to American independence, starting with the singular significance of the Boston Tea Party.”
      A multitude of organizations across Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are working together to create a commemorative year of public engagement, dynamic programming, special exhibits, events, installations, and performances. The year will culminate in a grand-scale, live reenactment of the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 2023, slated to be one of the largest theatrical moving performances in the United States. ADVERTISEMENT“The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce and our members are enthusiastic partners and collaborators in the celebration of the Boston Tea Party’s 250th anniversary,” says James E. Rooney, President & CEO of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce and 250th Boston Tea Party Anniversary BOA Co-Chair. “Boston holds momentous history that is pivotal in the country’s journey to realizing freedom. This is a celebration for everyone in Greater Boston – and the country and world – as we commemorate the courage and grit that connects every community to this revolution that changed the course of history.”
