Tourists take a selfie in front of the Trevi Fountain, in Rome, Monday, June 20, 2022. (Photo: AP)At a tourism conference in Phuket last month, Thailand’s prime minister looked out at attendees and posed a question with a predictable answer.“Are you ready?” Prayuth Chan-ocha asked, dramatically removing his mask and launching whats hoped to be the countrys economic reset after more than two years of coronavirus-driven restrictions. When the crowd yelled its answer — yes, according to local media — it might have been speaking for the entire pandemic-battered world.But a full recovery could take as long as the catastrophe itself, according to projections and interviews by The Associated Press in 11 countries in June. They suggest that the hoped-for rebound is less like a definitive bounce — and more like a bumpy path out of a deep and dark cave.Some locales, such as the French Riviera and the American Midwest, are contributing to the climb more than others.The human drive to bust out and explore is helping fuel the ascent, packing flights and museums despite rising coronavirus infections and inflation. But economic urgency is the real driver for an industry worth $3.5 trillion in 2019 that the United Nations estimates lost about that much during the pandemic. By some estimates, tourism provides work for one in 10 people on Earth.Many places, particularly those that have loosened safety requirements, are seeing what passes for a go-go summer of sunny optimism and adventure.“They are saying its the summer of revenge travel,” Pittsburgh resident Theresa Starta, 52, said as she gazed across one of Amsterdams canals at crowds thronging to the Dutch capital. “Everything seems so bad all around the world, so its nice to see some things coming back.”“The road to a full recovery is very long, but at least we are back on it,” said Sanga Ruangwattanakul, president of the Khao San Road Business Association in Bangkok.Despite the roaring return of traveler...

(Photo: VCG)Chinas tourism industry is showing strong growth momentum, as hotel bookings on the Qunar.com travel platform for the past week exceeded the same period in 2019 following the reopening of two resorts in Beijing and Shanghai, The Paper reported on Wednesday.This surge in bookings is considered a "multiplier effect" of the reopening of Shanghai Disney Resort and Universal Studios Beijing.Universal Studios Beijing resumed operations on June 25 as the COVID-19 resurgence has largely subsided in the national capital.Shanghai Disney announced on June 28 it will reopen on June 30 following a three-month closure induced by the citys recent COVID-19 outbreak.The resumption of service for the two theme parks will drive a strong rebound in the summer tourism market, according to industry insiders.Statistics from Qunar.com indicate searches for "Disney" rose 655 percent month-on-month on the afternoon of June 28, driving the popularity of Shanghai to nearly double in terms of online traffic.The reopening of Shanghai Disney has also driven the popularity of other scenic spots in Shanghai.Qunar data show there are currently 3,041 theme parks operating normally across the country. From June 1 to 28, the national theme park ticket sales doubled compared with the same period in May.The two resorts are expected to make up about 20 percent of the ticket volume for all theme parks across the country during the summer vacation.Theme parks offer a comprehensive business, which drives other consumption such as transportation, accommodation, catering and fast-moving consumer goods, said Huang Xiaojie, chief marketing officer of Qunar.Hotel bookings witnessed 50 percent growth over the weekend near Universal Studios Beijing since its reopening on June 25.In the past two weeks, the occupancy rate of Huazhu Group hotels has exceeded 80 percent and there is a further upward trend as the summer...
