Travel And Tourism Competitiveness Index

[gregybn]

Thailand is 43rd... tied with S. Korea, Slovenia and Chile?

Anybody on this forum been to those places? Why not???

An interesting report... Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index

Where does YOUR favorite country stand?

How the Excited States of Amnesia (#5) beat out Canukland (#7) kinda boggles me?

Anyone been to Chad.. last at #124???

FYI...

The World Economic Forum has launched the first-ever Travel and Tourism Index covering 124 countries around the world.

In many countries, travel and tourism is a critical sector impacting national prosperity and economic growth.

A cross-country analysis of the drivers of competitiveness in travel and tourism will provide useful comparative information for making business decisions and provide additional value to governments wishing to improve their travel and tourism environments.

“The index is not a ‘beauty contest’, or a statement about the attractiveness of a country.

On the contrary, the index measures the factors that make it attractive to develop the travel and tourism industry of individual countries...”

I've been to Slovenia and Chile.

Chile was a holiday a few years back, Slovenia was business last year.

I'd rate them both highly. Chile in particular.
