Growth is predominantly attributed to the rising number of domestic tourists, government initiatives to promote the country as a tourist destination, and the increased arrival of tourists from Southeast Asian countries, including Thailand, Malaysia, and South Korea. The relaxation of visa policies by the government for Chinese tourists is also a key driver of growth.

Over the forecast period, revenue will increase at a CAGR of 10.5%, from US$36.1 billion in 2017 to US$54.0 billion in 2021. The expected growth is attributed to the rise in revenue of low cost carriers from international routes to Southeast Asian countries, as well as the launch of new direct international routes.
