ICAO: Asean's airports subpar for tourist economy
Asean countries need to accelerate investment in basic infrastructure development to accommodate the 6.5% annual growth in international tourist arrivals, says the head of the ICAO. "Despite Asean being featured as the fastest-growing tourism market in the world, the region still lacks proper airports to support an adequate tourism economy, including Thailand and Indonesia," ICAO regional director Arun Mishra said. With the continuing influx of foreign tourists in recent years, he said all Asean countries should comply with the Asean Open Sky policy or Asean Single Aviation market to increase regional and domestic connectivity and support airlines based in Asean member states to fly freely throughout the region. Promoting the region as an aviation hub is also another crucial element. <br/>
