","protected":false},"content":{"rendered":"Foreign travel and stay sales are on the rise as 2022 winds to a close. After the pandemic-driven slowdown, many countries relaxed entry requirements and lifted travel restrictions, sparking renewed demand for international trips. How is global tourism performing at year’s end?
\nOur agency specializes in e-visa processing for tourists and business travelers. Tracking demand across our portfolio, we’ve identified five destinations driving heavy e-visa traffic—each popular for leisure, work, and religious travel.
\nSouth Korea ranks as a top trending destination thanks to its dynamic economy and growing tourism appeal. Business travelers and companies alike partner with the country, but visitors must secure a Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) before departure for leisure, work, events, or visiting contacts.
Cape Verde shines as a rising star for beach, nature, and cultural getaways—ideal for couples, friends, or families. Travelers need an EASE authorization and must apply no later than five days before arrival.
Côte d’Ivoire in West Africa draws visitors for leisure, visiting friends and family, and business. From modern hubs like Abidjan to traditional villages steeped in history, e-visa requirements apply to most nationalities.
Saudi Arabia remains a go-to for year-end Umrah pilgrimages. Pilgrims and tourists can use an e-visa for tourism, events, or religious purposes.
New Zealand beckons adventure seekers with road trips, forests, and mountain treks across both islands. The NZeTA is required for tourist and transit visits.
