Latest data released by the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) has shown that international visitor arrivals into Asia Pacific destinations increased 6% year-on-year in June 2011. This increase was led by Southeast Asia, which had a growth of 15.5% during June due to the rebound in arrivals to Thailand, strong travel demand within the ASEAN region and an increase in arrivals from China. South Asia experienced a growth of 12% in international arrivals in June due to an increase in European arrivals to destinations such as Nepal, the Maldives and Sri Lanka. Tourism demand to Japan is slowly recovering as Northeast Asia had a 3.7% increase in arrivals for June 2011, compared to 0.6% in May. Southeast Asia's arrivals will continue to be driven by the growing China and India outbound markets, while European arrivals will continue to be the main contributor to South Asia's growth. With the steadily growing low-cost carrier network, Northeast Asia is expected to see an increase in arrivals from Southeast Asia.
