Why does it matter?

This indicator helps explain differences in tourism demand, activity, capacity, or economic performance between destinations. It is most useful when interpreted alongside related tourism indicators and the reporting context for each country.

Interpretation

Methodology & Data Notes

Transparent by design

TCTI rankings use the best currently available verified or published observation for each country.

The selected records may come from different reporting years or official datasets, so this ranking should not be treated as a perfectly synchronized comparison for one universal year.

The most frequently represented source in this ranking is OECD. Individual country records may use other official sources.
