Collinson International launches global research report unveiling how businesses can engage with sports and music fans to capture share of growing market spend.

80% of sports and music fans in Asia Pacific (APAC) have travelled by plane to watch their favourite team or artist Sports fans are the biggest spenders globally, with 57% of sports enthusiasts from APAC spending more than US$500 per trip, per person 4 in 5 event travellers from APAC visit new places rather than familiar ones

SINGAPORE, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Collinson International, the owner and operator of Priority Pass and LoungeKey, has released its latest global research report, The Value of Sports and Music Tourism, exploring the travel and spending habits of sports and music event travellers. The new research revealed that sports fans are the biggest spenders globally in comparison to those travelling for music events; 57% of Asia Pacific’s (APAC) sports enthusiasts are spending more than US$500 per trip, per person.

Sports and music tourism is seeing huge growth. In 2023, sports tourism was valued at US$564.7 billion and is expected to almost double in value to US$1.33 trillion by 2032.[1] Similarly, music tourism is expected to see huge growth, forecasted to reach US$13.8 billion by 2032.[2] This is being driven by three main components: events, with more sports and music events, fans have more choice of destinations; exposure, the internationalisation of new and existing sports leagues through TV and streaming has encouraged fans to travel, while music fans are finding it may be more cost-effective to see an artist abroad; and experience, after years of Covid-19 travel restrictions, live fans are back and wanting new, enhanced experiences.  

It is clear that sports and music tourism is booming and event travellers have high aspirations, presenting a huge opportunity for businesses to tap into this growing segment of travellers. In APAC, of those that travel to an event by plane, more than four-fifths (85%) have travelled for sports and 74% for music in the past three years or plan to do so in the coming 12 months. Of these travellers, over half (53%) travel more than once a year with 19% attending three or more events annually.

SPENDING HABITS

Sports fans are the biggest spenders globally, with 57% from APAC exceeding US$500 per trip. Notably, 12% of respondents in APAC spend more than US$2,000 per trip. Globally, the 25-34 age group spends the most overall, with a third (33%) exceeding US$1,000 for sports and 31% for music events.

The typical spend for event travellers globally at airports is US$100 (44%) but this varies considerably with those travelling for basketball (30%), Formula 1 (32%) and the Olympics (31%) prepared to spend US$200 or more. As for those travelling for music, 25% are prepared to spend US$200 or above.

Over 4 in 5 (82%) of APAC sports and music fans have travelled to a new city or country to watch their favourite team or artist and of those, 28% said they have returned to these new cities / countries – with a further 31% planning to return. This presents huge economic growth opportunities for local businesses within these destinations, particularly where repeat business can be identified ahead of time. 

ELEVATED AIRPORT EXPERIENCES

Those travelling to see their favourite sports team or artist are looking for more premium travel experiences, which means they are more likely to take advantage of airport experiences.

More than half (52%) of APAC sports and music fans have used airport experiences when travelling for an event, which includes visiting an airport lounge (34%), gaming lounges (15%), sleep pods (16%) and spas (13%). The top reasons APAC fans visit an airport lounge is to relax and unwind before or after watching their favourite team/artist (58% for sports and 59% for music fans), followed by enjoying food and drink options at the airport (56% for sports and 57% for music). 

The uptake of airport lounges is higher among those spending more money on the trip overall. Globally, those travelling to basketball events (48%), Formula 1 (45%) and the Olympics (44%) are more likely to use lounges, with these fans also spending the most. 

TAILORING CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT AND LOYALTY PROGRAMMES

Around 65% of APAC event travellers participate in customer engagement and loyalty programmes. Many have joined customer engagement and loyalty programmes that offer points/miles (46%) or discounts on flights (50%), tickets (39%) and accommodation (38%). Over a third (39%) of APAC event travellers would choose a payment card that offered exclusive travel benefits such as access to airport lounges, travel insurance (42%), and an event package (42%) that includes flights, accommodation, transfers and tickets.

Airport lounge access is a popular travel benefit through payment cards, particularly for travellers from India (43%), Hong Kong, UAE, Australia (all 41%), Singapore (40%) Germany (34%), UK (33%) and Brazil (32%).

"The growing and global fanbase that will travel to iconic sports and music events is looking for unforgettable experiences and are prepared to spend significantly to make their trip extra special," says Christopher Evans, CEO of Collinson International, owner and operator of Priority Pass. "Fans are by definition synonymous with loyalty. This new research shows the high value they place on travel benefits. Great news for the travel industry and for those businesses targeting frequent travellers providing the opportunity to capitalise on the rise of event tourism by offering the travel benefits fans crave. In return, they will see the advantage of being top-of-mind and wallet with these frequent travellers, boosting engagement, building loyalty, and driving additional cross-border spend."

"Sports and music events fuel wanderlust, taking travellers to every corner of the globe. As the appetite for sports and music tourism grows across Asia Pacific, significant opportunities for businesses are opening up," says Todd Handcock, Global Chief Commercial Officer and Asia Pacific President, Collinson International. "This is particularly true for the travel sector, with Asia Pacific travellers being some of the highest spenders globally; as well as financial services organisations, with the latter witnessing significant shifts driven by technological advancements, evolving consumer expectations, and disruptive competitors. As businesses navigate this changing era, consumer loyalty and engagement emerge as pivotal drivers of growth and competitive advantage. Brands who can unlock the power and influence of sports and music-related rewards will position themselves well to benefit from higher customer engagement and retention."

LONDON, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — There are currently 29,350 individuals worldwide with liquid investable assets of USD 100 million or more, according to the Centi-Millionaire Report 2024 released today by wealth and investment migration advisors Henley & Partners.

This exclusive club has grown globally by 54% over the last decade, with America and China experiencing a centi-millionaire boom, significantly outperforming their European counterparts.

China’s ascent has been the most dramatic, with its centi-population expanding by 108% over the past 10 years — outpacing even the US, whose super-rich ranks swelled by 81% over the same period. In contrast, Europe’s centi-millionaire growth has been anemic, increasing by only 26% over the past decade.

Dr. Juerg Steffen, CEO of Henley & Partners, says the lethargic performance is due to slow growth in major markets such as the UK, Germany, and France. "Pockets of dynamism exist, with smaller European markets such as Monaco, Malta, Montenegro, and Poland seeing their centi-millionaire populations surge by 75% or more. The geography of extreme affluence is shifting. As this elite group continues to grow and migrate, its influence on global economics, politics, and society is likely to be profound and far-reaching."

America’s dominance hangs in the balance

The report reveals that one-third of the world’s centi-millionaires reside in 50 key cities across the world. The US continues to dominate the centi-city landscape, claiming 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in the Top 50 Cities for Centi-Millionaires, and boasting a total of 15 metropolises on the elite list.

New York City reigns supreme with 744 resident centi-millionaires, followed closely by the Bay Area with 675, and Los Angeles with 496 super rich residents.

However, as David Young from the US think tank The Conference Board points out, "existing centi-millionaire growth and migration trends will depend largely on the upcoming US presidential elections where we anticipate drastic differences in fiscal, monetary, economic, and social policies. The results may cause a shift from North America being so attractive, as centis turn to countries that provide greater economic and political security".

Dr. Steffen adds that wealthy Americans have become the firm’s single largest client cohort, with a five-fold increase in investment migration enquiries this year. "We are witnessing a fascinating paradox. On one hand, the US remains the world’s top wealth hub, accounting for over 30% of global liquid investable wealth — a massive USD 67 trillion. Yet, on the other hand, we’re seeing an unprecedented surge in affluent Americans seeking alternative residence and citizenship options."

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris recently endorsed the tax increases proposed by President Biden in his fiscal year 2025 budget — including a new idea that would require taxpayers with net wealth above USD 100 million to pay a minimum tax on their unrealized capital gains. However, as Director of Tax Services at Henley & Partners, Peter Ferrigno, warns, "any proposal that deviates too far from accepted international tax principles of only taxing realized income would lead to people looking very carefully at the US as a place to invest in. Taxing an unrealized gain on the way up looks great, but the optics of handing billionaires tax refunds in the following year when those unrealized gains reverse, looks terrible. Handled poorly, this can look like a bailout for the rich when their stock prices fall." 

Asia’s rising influence as Europe falls behind

Four Asian cities and territories are now among the world’s Top 10 centi-millionaire hotspots. Beijing sits in 5th position worldwide with 347 centis, while Singapore follows closely in 6th place with 336. Shanghai is in 7th place with 322 centi-millionaires and Hong Kong ranks 8th, boasting 320 ultra-wealthy residents.

Both Singapore and Hong Kong are forecast to enjoy exceptionally high centi-millionaire growth rates of over 100% in the next decade and a half (to 2040).

However, London, once considered the financial capital of the world, now ranks just 4th in the Top 50 Cities for Centi-Millionaires with 370 super-rich residents and a lackluster forecast of less than 50% when it comes to centi growth over the next 16 years (to 2040). Finally. Paris claims the10th spot on the latest centi-rich city index with 286 ultra-wealthy residents.

Centi city hotspots to watch

Looking ahead to 2040, several Asian and Middle Eastern cities are poised for explosive growth, with Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Taipei, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi projected to see increases of over 150% in their centi-millionaire communities.

Emerging markets are also set to make their mark. Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and Bengaluru in India are both forecast to enjoy growth of over 150% in their centi-populations over the next 16 years.

Results of subgroup analysis from the pivotal WU-KONG1B study in relapsed or refractory NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins presented at ESMO 2024

Sunvozertinib demonstrated promising anti-tumor efficacy, regardless of EGFR exon20ins region classification, race, region, baseline brain metastasis, prior amivantamab or prior immunotherapy status. The safety profile of sunvozertinib was similar to previously reported results, and clinically manageable.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dizal (SSE:688192), a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing novel medicines for the treatment of cancer and immunological diseases, presented subgroup analysis findings of its WU-KONG1 Part B (WU-KONG1B) study at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress. The results showed promising anti-tumor efficacy of sunvozertinib in relapsed or refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations (exon20ins) across different baseline characteristics, underpinning its significant clinical value for this patient population around the globe.

WU-KONG1B is an open-label, multinational pivotal study to investigate the efficacy and safety of sunvozertinib in relapsed or refractory NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins. The study is currently being conducted across 10 countries and regions in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. WU-KONG1B met its primary endpoint, with the preliminary results featured as an oral presentation at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, demonstrating the transformative potential of sunvozertinib as a single, oral agent to treat EGFR exon20ins NSCLC. Results of the subgroup analysis were presented on September 14 at the 2024 ESMO Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

As of March 22, 2024, a total of 107 patients with at least 33 EGFR exon20ins subtypes were included in the efficacy analysis set. The key findings were as follows:

 Per independent review committee (IRC) assessment, target lesions shrinkage was observed in 92.4% (98/106) of patients.  Per IRC assessment, the best objective response rate (ORR) was 53.3%, including 3 complete response (CR).  By EGFR exon20ins region classification, the best ORR in near loop, far loop, C-helix and unknown were 51.9%, 59.1%, 66.7% and 40%, respectively.  IRC assessed ORR was comparable between different subgroups regardless of race, region, baseline disease characteristics and prior anti-cancer treatment history.

With median follow-up of 7 months, duration of response (DoR) was not reached, and 66.7% of responders were still responding. The safety profile was similar to previously reported results, and clinically manageable.

"WU-KONG1B study enrolled more than 40% of non-Asian patients. The subgroup analysis suggested superior anti-tumor efficacies and well-tolerated safety profiles of sunvozertinib across EGFR exon20ins NSCLC patients with different baseline demographics and clinical characteristics on a global scale. We are intensifying our efforts to advance ongoing global pivotal studies and regulatory submissions of this FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designated asset, making available an effective and safe oral option to more patients around the world." said Xiaolin Zhang, PhD, CEO of Dizal.

WU-KONG28, a phase Ⅲ multinational randomized study, is ongoing to assess sunvozertinib versus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy as a first-line treatment in patients from 16 countries and regions in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. The anticipated data of this study is expected to further improve outcomes of patients in this realm.

About sunvozertinib (DZD9008)

Sunvozertinib is an irreversible EGFR inhibitor discovered by Dizal scientists targeting a wide spectrum of EGFR mutations with wild-type EGFR selectivity. In August 2023, sunvozertinib received approval from NMPA to treat advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins after platinum-based chemotherapies. The approval is based on the results of WU-KONG6 study, the pivotal study of sunvozertinib in platinum-based chemotherapy pretreated NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins. The primary endpoint of the study was the confirmed overall response rate (cORR) as assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC) reached 60.8%. Anti-tumor efficacy was observed across a broad range of EGFR exon20ins subtypes, and in patients with pretreated and stable brain metastasis. In addition, sunvozertinib also demonstrated encouraging anti-tumor activity in NSCLC patients with EGFR sensitizing, T790M, and uncommon mutations (such as G719X, L861Q, etc.), as well as HER2 exon20ins.

Sunvozertinib showed a well-tolerated and manageable safety profile in the clinic. The most common drug-related TEAEs (treatment-emergent adverse event) were Grade 1/2 in nature and clinically manageable.

Two global pivotal studies are ongoing in ≥ 2nd line (WU-KONG1 Part B) and 1st line setting (WU-KONG28), respectively, in NSCLC patients with EGFR exon20ins.

Pre-clinical and clinical results of sunvozertinib were published in peer-reviewed journals Cancer Discovery (IF:39.397) and The Lancet Respiratory Medicine (IF: 76.2).

Priority Pass shares what sports and music fans want from their travel experiences.

•  Over three-quarters (80%) of sports and music fans in Asia Pacific (APAC) travelled to an event by plane in the past 3 years or plan to in the next 12 months

•  The top five sports people travel for globally are football, basketball, the Olympics, Formula 1 and tennis. Rock in Rio, Coachella and Taylor Swift are driving music tourism

•  More than half of event travellers from the APAC region use airport experiences such as airport lounges, sleep pods and spas

SINGAPORE, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — New research titled, The Value of Sports and Music Tourism, published by the owners and operators of Priority Pass, Collinson International, reveals the extent to which people are willing to travel – as well as the amount they’re willing to spend – in order to experience their favourite sports team or music artists in person. With a huge summer of sports and major music events taking place, the research found that amongst those travelling from Asia Pacific (APAC) to attend an event by plane, more than four-fifths (85%) have travelled for sports and 74% for music in the past three years, or plan to do so in the coming 12 months. Of these travellers, over half (53%) travel more than once a year, with 19% attending three or more events annually.

FUELLING WANDERLUST

As the biggest global sport, unsurprisingly football (soccer) has the most loyal fanbase, with 70% of fans in APAC travelling to watch their favourite team. Tennis fans in APAC are the second most likely to travel (28%), followed by those watching basketball (25%), Formula 1 (23%) and the Olympics (22%). In turn, music events attracting the highest number of global fans include Rock in Rio, Coachella and Tomorrowland; with Taylor Swift, Travis Scott, Vasco Rossi and Ed Sheeran featuring as the most popular artists.

When it comes to where APAC travellers will go for sporting and music events, Sydney came out as the top destination (35%), followed by London (21%), New York (17%), Paris (16%) and Dubai (15%).

Sports and music events fuel wanderlust, taking travellers to every corner of the globe. 82% of APAC travellers have travelled to a new city or country for a sports or music event, allowing fans to experience different cultures and locations while indulging their passion for sports and music.

The majority of sports (87%) and music (89%) fans in APAC like to arrive between one and three days before an event, while 85% of sports and 86% of music fans like to stay one to three days after an event. This presents travellers with new experiences and memories, as well as huge economic growth opportunities for local businesses within these destinations.

ELEVATING THE JOURNEY

More than half (52%) of APAC event travellers have used airport experiences, which include visiting an airport lounge (34%), gaming lounge (15%), sleep pod (16%) and spa (13%). The top reasons APAC fans visit an airport lounge is to relax and unwind before or after watching their favourite team / artist (58% for sports and 59% for music fans), followed by enjoying food and drink options at the airport (56% for sports fans and 57% for music fans).  

Globally, the uptake of airport lounges is higher among those spending more money on the trip overall. Interestingly, those travelling to basketball events (48%), Formula 1 (45%) and the Olympics (44%) are more likely to use lounges and it is these fans who also spend the most.

HEY BIG SPENDER

When travelling to see their favourite team or artist, it’s not just about the destination, it’s about the journey too. Sports fans are the biggest spenders, with 57% from APAC exceeding US$500 per trip, per person. Globally, the 25-34 age group spends the most overall, with a third (33%) exceeding US$1,000 for sports and 31% for music events. In addition, just under half (44%) of event fans typically spend US$100 at the airport.

"Whether it’s being in the crowd for the big game or watching your favourite artist at a festival, you can’t beat live events – especially when they’re combined with travelling the world. More than ever, people are travelling domestically and internationally for sports and music and this year marks a special occasion, with a huge summer of major events taking place globally" says Christopher Evans, CEO of Collinson International, owner and operator of Priority Pass. "Our latest global research report reveals that not only are people travelling far and wide for sports and music events, but they also want to enhance their travel experiences to make these trips even more memorable. Priority Pass offers seamless, premium airport experiences that elevate every journey. With airport lounges and travel experiences in over 700 airports across 145 countries, there’s an abundance of choice for wherever the summer takes you."

"In Asia Pacific, we see many travellers seeking to make their journeys as memorable as the events they attend," adds Todd Handcock, Global Chief Commercial Officer and Asia Pacific President, Collinson International. "We understand and relate to travellers’ passion for exploration. By offering premium travel benefits such as access to airport lounges and travel experiences, we ensure that every aspect of our members’ trips (some of which are in the ‘once in a lifetime’ category) are enjoyable, stress-free, and are made that little bit more special with Priority Pass."
