According to the latest survey by Marriott, 72% of affluent travelers in Asia Pacific, excluding China, intend to increase their spending on luxury travel in the next 12 months. Trust in luxury hotel brands is also on the rise, as travelers look for consistency, select experiences, and higher standards of service.
