Despite being affected by the emergence of the Omicron variant and the increasing global uncertainty, global tourism is roaring back with a robust momentum unseen since 2021. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, the data shows that during the first quarter of 2022, Europe welcomed almost four times as many international arrivals (+280%) as in Q1 of 2021, with results driven by strong intra-regional demand. In the Americas arrivals more than doubled (+117%) in the same three months.

As a pioneering technology solution provider in the 5G Cloud era, uCloudlink is also spearheading the development of the PaaS and SaaS platform by introducing cloud SIM and hyper-connectivity technology, which is designed to offer uninterrupted, seamless, and high-speed internet connection without limitation. In the future, uCloudlink will collaborate with its wide global partner ecosystem to broaden the uses of our services, solutions, and products, as well as making the world more linked without limits.
