“Great magazine and wonderful inspiration!� Cornelia Chee Singapore
reader profile For 2017, the Asian Development Bank forecasts economic growth in Southeast Asia of 4.6 percent. When it comes to travel, Asia and the Pacific demonstrated renewed strength in 2016 by receiving 9 percent more arrivals during the first half of the year compared to same period a year earlier, the highest growth in the world. This growth is expected to continue throughout 2017 with further expansion in interregional travel. Asian millennials are expected to spend $340 billion on international travel by 2020. Asia does not only offer great tourist destinations, with popular countries such as Thailand and Indonesia and world class cities like Hong Kong and Singapore, it also offers a fast growing outbound tourism market. The luxury-goods industry is driven by “borderless consumers,” which means that the profile of the buyer is more important than their country of residence. Luxury globetrotters have fueled the performance of airport retail which now accounts for more than 6 percent of the global luxury market (Bain & Company). Research shows that the majority of Asian millennials prefer to buy luxury goods abroad or at airports. Travel and luxury shopping are strongly interrelated, especially in Asia. Travel+Leisure Southeast Asia’s target reader group is part of this success story; affluent and brand conscious, our readers have the wealth to indulge their tastes. They have the disposable income that allows them to shop, eat, drink and stay where they want, when they want. Travel+Leisure Southeast Asia reaches out to these high-income frequent travelers through its mix of world-class journalism, photography and lifestyle features, as our 2016 reader survey shows.
