According to UNWTO World Tourism Barometer’s August Interim
Update, international tourist arrivals increased by 7% for
the first half of this year. The growth is led by Asia
Pacific and the Middle East, with 14% and 20% growth,
respectively. Asian countries such as Sri Lanka (49%), Japan
(36%), Vietnam (35%) and Myanmar (35%) registered strong
results, propelling Asia to become the second-most visited
region in the world. The positive growth rates, together
with the improving global economy, suggest that year-end
results may exceed UNWTO’s forecast of 3% to 4%. |
