World tourism organization The United Nations (UNWTO) has published the UNWTO Tourism Review 2018 report. It is a world tourism barometer and looks at tourism trends around the world. Among other things, UNWTO monitors the growth and decline in tourism activity in different countries and regions of the world.
The most popular global tourism destinations
Two regions showed the greatest tourist growth - Africa, by 9% and Europe, by 8%. At the same time, more than half of the tourists from the global international flow (671 million people) rushed to Europe, while Africa received less than one tenth of this figure - only 63 million tourists visited there.
All countries Northern Europe, including the UK, reported an increase in tourist traffic. Travelers who want to enjoy the beauties of Foggy Albion are not even deterred by the terrorist attacks in London and Manchester last year. The weakening of the British pound significantly helped the entry of England into the top ten most popular countries for tourism.
Although many children, as well as their parents, are still afraid to go "to Africa for a walk", the UNWTO study notes a steady increase in tourism in most African destinations that reported their data. For example, in Tunisia, the number of traveler arrivals was 23% higher than in 2017. And sub-Saharan countries are doing well big cities Kenya, Cote d'Ivoire, Mauritius and Zimbabwe. And the most popular island destinations in Africa are Seychelles, Cape Verde and Reunion.
Top 10 most popular countries for tourism
The main mode of transport for all major tourist destinations were aircraft(57%), then cars (37%), water transport(4%) and Railway(only 2%).
The majority of tourists (55%) named leisure as the purpose of visiting another country. Business accounted for only 13% of trips. The purpose of other visits was either not specified or related to reasons such as visiting relatives or observing religious customs.
Interesting Facts:
- According to the report, the total volume of international tourist trips increased by 6.8 percent to 1.32 billion people in 2017. This is the highest number since 2009 and 84 million more than in 2016. And all thanks to the rapid global economic recovery.
- Recovery in demand for tourism from Brazilians and Russian Federation after several years of recession, and the continued growth of India's economy has also contributed to higher profits for many popular tourist destinations.
- Spending on international tourism in 2017 amounted to 1.34 trillion. dollars due to strong outbound demand from both traditional and emerging markets. Nearly 40% of this amount comes from the expenses of those who traveled around Europe last year. They are followed by the Asia-Pacific region (29% of total spending) and the Americas (24%).
- Who is spending all this money? The UNWTO report said that Chinese tourists spent almost a fifth of the 1.34 trillion. dollars - 258 billion dollars. But American travelers were more economical and took only second place, spending $ 135 billion in 2017. The Russians also entered the top ten spenders (+ 30%), ahead of the South Koreans and Italians, but behind the Canadians, Germans, British, Australians and French.
Overwhelming majority international travel takes place within the travelers' own regions (intra-regional tourism). And the world's largest source for outbound tourism still remains Europe. She creates almost half international arrivals in the world. But the Asia-Pacific region is catching up. Currently, one in 4 trips takes place within Asia and the Pacific.
It would seem that we all know the answer to this question. The word “tourist” refers to countries that are interesting for travelling. But we always evaluate this “interestingness” from our own point of view, without thinking that someone may be interested in the country, but someone will not see anything attractive in it.
