    Prince Harry Calls on Travel Industry to Put Destinations First

    Prince Harry, founder of Travalyst, called on the travel industry at the Skift Global Forum to measure destination health rather than just traveler value or traditional business performance metrics.

According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, travel and tourism accounts for around 7.3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. His comments come amid a summer of extreme heat, wildfires, and drought that wreaked havoc in popular destinations.

    Sri Lanka Targets 3 Million Tourists, Prioritizes Spending Quality

    Sri Lanka announced at the Arabian Travel Mart that it aims to attract 3 million international tourists over the next 12 months, but is more focused on tourism earnings than visitor numbers. The government targets over $5 billion in tourism revenue. Alexi Gunasekera, consul general of Sri Lanka to Dubai, said the country is going for quality rather than quantity. In 2025, Sri Lanka received 2.36 million visitors and generated about $3.2 billion, or roughly $1,360 per visitor. To reach $5 billion from 3 million visitors, it would need to lift spending to about $1,667 per visitor, still well below destinations like the Maldives at roughly $2,480 per visitor.

    Asia-Pacific Airlines Grow Fastest While Route Networks Shrink

    Asia-Pacific led the world in international traffic growth and load factors in 2025, with IATA forecasting 3.8% long-term annual growth versus 2.5% for Europe and 2.8% for North America. Yet according to DOHOP's whitepaper, it is the only region where the international network contracted, losing 1,017 international routes and a net 228 airport pairs since December 2019, with mainland China alone shedding 293 international connections. The cause is not weak demand but a jammed aircraft pipeline: order backlogs stand at 17,000 planes, nearly 60% of the active global fleet, with a new order taking about 6.8 years to arrive.

The article distinguishes operating from transaction fundamentals: stabilized asset cap rates are around 8.0% to 8.5% and upscale/upper-midscale near 9.5%, both multiyear highs, and nearly 70% of the $18.7 billion in hotel CMBS loans maturing in 2026 carry floating rates.
