Several Asian countries have presented significant growth in their tourism sectors. The Straits Times reported that Singapore ranked as the second most-visited destination in the Asia-Pacific region by international visitors in 2016. At the top of the list is another Asian city – Bangkok.

The city also topped the global list, with Singapore placing fifth right before New York. In 2017, Thailand became Southeast Asia's second-biggest economy due to strong foreign and domestic tourism receipts and rising hotel occupancy.

Japan is also aiming to strengthen its tourism by focusing and banking on a strong yet untapped tourism strategy – 'anime tourism.' By 2020, Japan is expected to increase its foreign visitors to 40 million with an estimated eight trillion yen in tourist spending.
