Travel and Tourism

Evidence-based analysis for the travel sector

Free Trial

The travel & tourism industry continues to grow at a rate that is faster than world GDP. Worldwide overnight tourist arrivals now exceed 1.2 billion, an increase of nearly 25% over the past five years. Over that same time period, the total annual economic impact of travel has grown to $7.2tn. Growth has been fueled by new destinations, technology, improved transport networks, and a growing middle class in emerging markets.

Tourism Economics, an Oxford Economics company, specialises in providing actionable data, forecasts, and analysis of travel trends. Our economists work closely with clients to assist in the interpretation and application of analysis to marketing, investment, and policy decisions. We provide consistent and reliable historical data and forecasts for:

Drivers of tourism, including economic factors, demographics, and exchange rates

Travel segmentation, including international arrivals, overnight stays, arrivals by mode of transportation and purpose of trip, and departures

Travel spending by purpose of trip, for domestic or international travel

Tourism economic impact, including GDP and employment

Arrivals and spending by origin market for 190 countries plus regional aggregates
