Aviation Group has called upon governments across Asia to further ease travel restrictions in order to revive the global economy. While most countries have started to reopen their borders for international travel, there are still testing, paperwork and extra insurance requirements which are seen as hurdles for international tourism.
He said, “The majority of the world is now fully vaccinated and a sizable portion has also received booster shots. Data in the region also shows that the chance of hospitalisation from COVID-19 for those fully vaccinated is very small.” Meanwhile, AirAsia Aviation Group CEO Bo Lingam said “It is a sad fact that some of our airfares cost less than the COVID-19 tests required by many countries in Asia, making the overall cost of air travel burdensome for most of the ordinary travellers that we serve. The testing requirements, including the number and type of tests involved, should constantly be reviewed to ensure that they remain relevant, without burdening travellers nor compromising public health.
He applauds countries such as Singapore, Cambodia, Australia and India for leading the way by doing away COVID-19 travel insurance requirements in order to draw more visitors to their respective countries.
