Fida Hussain | Afp | Getty ImagesAs the number of climate disasters increase, more people are being forced to flee their homes, especially in Asia.

According to the World Economic Forum, 10% to 18% of South Asia's GDP is at risk due to climate disasters. Some have nothing to return to, Oberoi explained, as climate change may have hurt their crop production at home. While we are talking and discussing and quibbling, the millions of climate migrants are the forgotten casualties of climate change.

But both are losing ground with Chinese nationals as safety concerns rise among younger travelers. Both countries were the top choices for Chinese holidaymakers earlier this year but fell in the third quarter — Thailand to No. 8 — according to the marketing company China Trading Desk, which gauges Chinese travel sentiment on a quarterly basis. Both countries now lag behind South Korea, Malaysia and Australia in terms of Chinese travelers' next vacation destinations, with Singapore — deemed one of the safest places for travelers in 2023 — rising to the top spot. The World Health Organization and other safety groups have said seafood from Japan is safe to eat, but fears among Chinese travelers have "turned one of their most popular destinations into one of their least popular," Bhatt said.
