Asian Tourism Corridor - GCC Emerges as Key Driver of Tourism Growth

Travel leaders at the ATM 2026 exhibition affirmed that the tourism corridor between Asia-Pacific and the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has become a key driver for tourism growth, thanks to visa reforms, ease of payment, and improved accessibility. This corridor is vital for enhancing tourist exchange among GCC countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait, and Asian nations like Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore. Projections indicate these reforms will boost travel activity and stimulate tourism investments.
