our company

International tourism recovered strongly in 2010 according to the Advance Release of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) World Tourism Barometer. International tourist arrivals were up by almost 7% reaching 935 million, following the 4% decline in 2009 – the year hardest hit by the global economic crisis. The vast majority of destinations worldwide posted positive figures, sufficient to offset recent losses or bring them close to this target. However, recovery came at different speeds and was primarily driven by emerging economies. According to Tourism 2020 Vision, a long-term forecast and assessment of the development of tourism through 2020 published by the UNWTO, the current slowdown will be compensated in the medium to long term.

By 2020, international arrivals are expected to reach nearly 1.6 billion out of which 1.2 billion will be intra-regional and 378 million will be long-haul travelers. Following a year of global recovery in 2010, growth is expected to continue for the tourism sector in 2011 but at a slower pace. The UNWTO forecasts international tourist arrivals to grow between 4% to 5% in 2011, a rate slightly above the long-term average.
