Tourism Activity

Tourism activity and economic performance, particularly that of the major tourism generating and receiving countries, are closely linked. The purpose of this section is to provide those indicators which are regarded as being most relevant to international movements and spend. In one issue each year there will appear information relating to the global picture and by region, together with some detail on the most significant nations. The databank paper in Volume 1, Number 1 was the first in this category. Throughout the remainder of the year each issue will concentrate on a specific world region — in this case, economic indicators of tourism in Europe are provided and accompanied by a brief commentary. The main sources of data are those statistics published by the World Tourism Organisation (WTO), the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), Eurostat and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Formal definitions associated with the tables presented are often detailed and lengthy and so are not included here. The reader should consult the source material if necessary.

Tourism Activity

Tourism activity and economic performance, particularly that of the major tourism generating countries, are closely linked. The purpose of this section of economic indicators of tourism is to provide those indicators which are regarded as being most relevant to international tourism movements and spend. In one issue each year, there will appear information relating to the global picture, and by the region with some detail on a few selected countries. This is an opener in this category. It is intended that each of the three other issues throughout the year will concentrate upon a specific world region, leading to complete coverage by the journal over a two-year period. Many of the statistics that will be incorporated in this section are published with a significant time lag and, at the time of writing, 1991 was the last year for which all of the statistics were available. The main sources of data are statistics published by the World Tourism Organisation and the World Travel and Tourism Council. Formal definitions associated with the tables presented are often highly detailed and so are not reproduced here. The reader should consult the source material if additional information is required.

Tourism Activity

This research compares tourism competitiveness of two neighboring countries, Romania and Bulgaria, which have many similarities economically as well as from a geopolitical and historical perspective. Despite these similarities, immediately after the 1990s, which marked the fall of the communist regime, the tourism phenomenon in the two countries had divergent evolutions. As the tourism industry in Bulgaria, especially its seaside tourism, underwent unprecedented development, the tourism activity in Romania systematically lost its competitiveness. The factors affecting the appearance and increase of such a difference are of interest to the Romanian seaside tourism. To generate the answer to this problem, we perform a series of comparative analyses with data from the World Economic Forum, in terms of the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report (2011-2015), `the National Authority for Tourism of Romania, and the National Institute of Statistics from Romania and Bulgaria. We identified a series of constitutive elements relating to the success of the Bulgarian seaside tourism and a sequence of deficiencies in the strategic and organizational maneuvers of the tourism activity at the Romanian seaside.

Tourism has become an important industry for most of the economies, especially for non industrialized countries where it represent the main source of income. This paper focuses on the analysis of 14 competitiveness tourism factors for 20 country members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, which represents the most dynamic region in the world according to its participation on the global GDP and international trade, highlighting the performance of Mexico and doing a benchmark with the rest of APEC countries. The authors analyze secondary data from the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index to create clusters and then multidimensional scaling techniques were employed for detecting the more or less effective determinants of destination competitiveness.
