The pioneer and industry leader in innovating global airport hospitality services, Plaza Premium Group, is preparing for a major travel surge during the Lunar New Year festive period, as families travel to reunite for the Spring Festival.
During this key travel season, Plaza Premium Group is ready to Make Travel Better through their airport hospitality services that span airport lounges, in-terminal hotels, meet and greet services, and airport dining. All Plaza Premium Group locations and facilities offer a safe, convenient and private airport experience, whilst adhering to the highest health and safety protocols, to keep visitors safe when travelling. To bring luck to travellers in the Year of the Tiger, the Group is presenting Lunar New Year offers across Plaza Premium Lounges, Aerotels and the Smart Traveller loyalty programme.
Plaza Premium Group has already seen an uptick in travellers over the last few weeks, especially in its Asia locations, most notably Mainland China, Taiwan, Macau, Malaysia and Singapore where Lunar New Year is widely celebrated and people are travelling in order to be with their families, including members living overseas. From December 2021 to now, visitor figures to Plaza Premium Lounge in Qingdao, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore have increased up to three times than that of in November 2021. With Singapore being a key international transit hub as well as home to expats from China and Malaysia, Plaza Premium Lounge Singapore and Aerotel Singapore recorded a surge in up to 10% more travellers from Mainland China and 15% more travellers from Malaysia since December 2021 through to now. The numbers already demonstrate a significant increase in travel in the region, especially when compared to October and November 2021. Plaza Premium Group is confident this trend will continue over the coming weeks ahead of Lunar New Year which falls from 1 February to 3 February 2022 and will be further accelerated by the Beijing Winter Olympics which begin on 4 February 2022.

Land travel via high-speed railway in mainland China is also anticipated to a spike in the coming weeks. Plaza Premium Group forecasts that demand for its high-speed railway lounges in Changsha, Guangzhou and Shenzhen will increase by at least 100%, as people travel across the country for both Lunar New Year and the Winter Olympics which will run until 20 February 2022.
