We are noticing the growth of business tourism at the beginning of the year! The latest news is already in the post:

🔘 Delta leaves Lyft for Uber and will introduce AI-powered «Concierge» tool
Delta Air Lines will begin a partnership with Uber, under which customers who link their Uber and SkyMiles accounts can earn miles (one mile per dollar spent on UberX rides to and from airports, two miles per dollar on premium rides and three miles per dollar on Uber Reserve rides). The carrier will end its relationship with Lyft, but customers can continue to earn SkyMiles via Lyft rides through April 7, 2025

🔘 U.K. begins ETA requirement for entry for travellers from 54 countries
Travellers now are required to complete an online pre-travel check to enter the U.K. following the continued rollout of the country’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme. From Jan. 8, travellers from 48 non-European countries—those who previously did not require a visa for short-stay visits, including the U.S., Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore—will need to apply for an ETA before arriving in the U.K. The requirement will also extend to travellers from European countries from April 2, with applications for these travellers open from March 5

🔘 India’s MICE industry sees 8% growth, valued at INR 25,000 cr amid technological innovations
India’s MICE industry is supported by its extensive infrastructure, which includes over 1,300 star-category hotels and more than 70 world-class convention centres capable of hosting international summits and exhibitions. Major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai are gaining popularity for their top-tier facilities and strong government support promoting MICE tourism

🔘 Finlandia Hall reopened after extensive renovation
Finlandia Hall, one of Finland’s most iconic event venues, reopened on 4 January. For the first time, it will be open daily to Helsinki residents and tourists, offering dining, accommodation, exhibition space, and a design shop. The venue will also feature a permanent Aalto exhibition in June 2025

If you were to get into the Guinness Book of Records, what would it be for? Write in the comments! In the meantime, we will tell you what happened in the tourism industry from 12/21 to 12/28:

🔘 Turkish Airlines has been included in the Guinness Book of World Records
The carrier emphasises that it has unofficially held the record since 2012. Guinness World Records data showed that the airline currently flies to 120 countries, more than any other carrier. Turkish Airlines adds that the figure does not include the flight to Chile and temporarily suspended routes, which would increase this figure to 131.

🔘 Ritz-Carlton to open in Xiamen, China
Marriott International has signed an agreement with Xiamen Green Development Investment Group to open a Ritz-Carlton hotel in Xiamen, Fujian Province. The hotel will be located a few minutes’ drive from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport and close to a subway station. The Ritz-Carlton will feature 228 rooms, including 35 suites, restaurants, a 25-meter indoor pool, a fitness center and a spa, as well as a large ballroom and four conference rooms with a total area of 1,500 square meters.

🔘 Abu Dhabi hotels welcomed 4.8 million guests in 2024
From January to October 2024, the emirate’s hotels welcomed 4.8 million guests, which is 26% more than in 2023, Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT Abu Dhabi) reported. Travellers from 26 countries visited the metropolis, including India, China, the UK and Saudi Arabia.

🔘 Malaysia extends visa exemption for Indian nationals until December 31, 2026
This move aligns with the country’s ASEAN chairmanship and preparations for Visit Malaysia Year 2026. A similar exemption has been granted to Chinese nationals. The visa liberalisation plan aims to boost Malaysia’s economy and tourism sector.
