After attending the Global Travel Market Outlook presentation at ITB Asia 2024, it's clear that the demand for meaningful, offline experiences are on the rise. Luxury travellers, in particular, are increasingly motivated by the chance to disconnect, step away from screens, and forge genuine connections with new people. Charles Habak from McKinsey & Company highlighted how this shift in priorities is reshaping the travel landscape. Beyond just a passing trend, digital detox has become an essential part of the luxury travel experience, with small-group travel and niche accommodations taking centre stage. Resorts and travel providers are now focusing on creating inviting spaces that encourage true relaxation and disconnection – a refreshing alternative to the constant digital noise.

Here at Holiday Inn Resort Vanuatu, we witness firsthand the journey our guests take to reach our beautiful island. Given recent disruptions to inbound flights to Vanuatu, we wholeheartedly endorse the introduction of additional international flights by key carriers such as QANTAS and Jetstar. This initiative not only allows us to extend our warm hospitality to guests arriving on these airlines but also promises significant advantages for Vanuatu's tourism sector, local economy, and visibility among neighboring countries considering their next holiday destination. Partnering with QANTAS and Jetstar presents numerous benefits, including enhanced international marketing opportunities and access to frequent flyer programs, which would effectively showcase Vanuatu's allure as a prime destination. Increasing flight frequencies between Sydney, Port Vila, and other major Australian cities would offer guests competitive pricing and peace of mind throughout their travel experience. Exploring options for premium and economy services ensures accessibility and choice for a diverse range of travelers. Furthermore, Solomon Airlines has commenced flights from Auckland to Port Vila since June 19 2024, with plans to increase capacity starting October 4 2024. These additions, including the introduction of a third weekly service, strengthen connectivity between Honiara, Port Vila, and Auckland, reinforcing seamless travel between these three countries. Implementing these pivotal changes is crucial to mitigating challenges such as tourism stagnation, investor attrition, and economic downturns.
