In Bangkok, hotel comparison site PriceChrono lists median room rates at \u20ac73 (US$82) a night for seven-night stays starting Nov. 28 and \u20ac77 for those beginning Dec. 5.<\/p>\n

These are about 14% and 20% higher, respectively, than the \u20ac64 nightly rate for stays starting Nov. 21, before the concerts.<\/p>\n

The South Korean group will perform at Rajamangala National Stadium on Dec. 3, 5 and 6. All three shows are sold out, according to concert organizer Live Nation Tero.<\/p>\n

But the higher rates are also for nights without performances.<\/p>\n

In Singapore, international flight bookings for arrivals between Dec. 16 and 23 are up 62% year-on-year, Amadeus reported.<\/p>\n

BTS will play four shows at the National Stadium on Dec. 17, 19, 20 and 22, according to the Singapore Tourism Board.<\/p>\n

Bookings from the Philippines have risen more than sevenfold, moving the country from ninth to second among Singapore’s source markets for the period.<\/p>\n

Singapore’s hotel rates have risen more modestly, averaging $237 a night during the concert period, up 6% year-on-year.<\/p>\n

Trip.com Singapore general manager Edmund Ong said that searches surged after the tour announcement, followed by a sharp rise in hotel bookings for Dec. 16\u201322., as cited by CNA.<\/p>\n

The surge in searches and hotel bookings was even greater than for previous Taylor Swift and Blackpink mega concerts, according to the travel platform.<\/p>\n

In Bangkok, Airbnb reported a nearly 590% year-on-year rise in searches for stays during BTS’s December concert dates.<\/p>\n

Paul Wilson, Amadeus’s senior vice president for hospitality in Asia Pacific, said K-pop concerts were influencing travel patterns across the region.<\/p>\n

Destinations could use the influx of fans to promote local experiences, encouraging visitors to stay longer and explore beyond concert venues, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Bangkok, hotel comparison site PriceChrono lists median room rates at \u20ac73 (US$82) a night for seven-night stays…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":678351,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[287210,93,61,60,278],"class_list":["post-678350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-bts-concerts-lift-bangkok-hotel-rates-and-singapore-flight-bookings-vnexpress-international","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=678350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/678351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=678350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=678350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=678350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
