Sunday 7th February, 2010
The Asia-Pacific region's travel and tourism sector has recently undergone a recovery.
Since late 2009, growth has been the strongest in the region since the global economic slowdown.
The Pacific Asia Travel Association has reported that the recovery has gathered momentum, with international visitor arrivals in the region increasing three percent in November.
A full recovery is not expected until 2011, but tourist operators have said they are expecting a boom over Chinese Lunar New Year.
The Lunar New Year begins February 14, and is traditionally a popular time for travel in Asia.
The strongest markets this year for the celebration are Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Macau.
