In terms of the more recent signals, it's too early to draw any conclusions around it. yes we see some prices going up for example over airline ticket prices with some of the airlines reducing capacity how much that ultimately will impact demand is still uncertain so i can't give you a specific answer on it but lifting this up a little bit and just from a bigger picture outside of those areas that we highlighted in terms of middle east impact outside of those actually travel markets globally have remained very healthy Intra-European travel was up high single digits. Intra-Asia travel was up low double digits. And as we mentioned, our growth in the U.S. was up low teens. So there is very specific areas where we see this impact of the Middle East, but generally we don't see customers globally being cautious. We actually see outside of those areas that are impacted actually travel demand continuing to do very well.

Finally, I want to touch on Asia, which remains a driver of growth for us and is one of our most exciting long-term opportunities. It is the fastest growing major travel market in the world, with industry growth expected to remain in the high single digits over the next several years. And our ambition is to grow even faster than the market.

On flights, we have continued to scale up our offering at Booking.com since launching in 2019, with total company air tickets booked in 2023 up more than 400% over that timeframe, primarily driven by Booking.com. We see this vertical bringing new customers to our platform while delivering a more complete offering to our existing customers, making travel planning and booking easier for them and creating opportunities to provide more value to them.

In terms of why we believe that discretionary spending will continue to divert to travel versus other things, that's obviously a lot of different surveys. There's going to be a whole bunch of things that are independent, third party, what actual people are saying they're going to do, et cetera.
