Tourism Recovery In 2010 Stronger Than Expected, But Likely To Slow Down In 2011 Return to Headlines
The World Travel and Tourism Council's revised figures have shown that the economic recovery has resulted in a faster-than-expected rebound in international travel, particularly in Asian markets. Global Travel and Tourism Economy real GDP growth is now expected to rise by 2% this year, up from an earlier forecast of 0.5%, and will in turn create an extra 946,000 jobs worldwide. However, Travel and Tourism expenditure is still well below the 2008 peak and the pace of recovery in 2011 is likely to be slower than expected. In terms of growth for the regions, Asia is still set to see a growth rate of 4.2%, with China still the main engine of global growth over the next decade. India will enjoy a robust recovery following a slowdown in 2009 whereas Japan's growth will increase gradually, reaching a cyclical peak in 2013.
