International tourist arrivals increased by 7% in the first four
months of 2010, totalling over 258 million arrivals, with
April’s 3% increase marking the seventh month of growth after 14
consecutive months of negative results. The improvement in
overall sentiments during these four months of the year is also
reflected in the rise of the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO)
Tourism Confidence Index. Fifty percent of the experts in the
UNWTO Panel of Tourism evaluated the period of January to April
as ‘better’ or ‘much better’ as compared to 34% for the period
of September to December 2009. Current growth rates suggest that
international tourist arrivals for 2010 may exceed the forecast
of +4%. |
