Things to Consider
With tourist numbers remaining high, expect crowding at the airport, major attractions, and restaurants during peak periods. When planning a trip, book hotels and transportation in advance and allow extra time when using the airport. Residents should also be mindful of increased road congestion and demand on public services during busy periods.
