General Description
|
|
Abstract:
|
The data are from the World Tourism Organization. They obtained data from questionnaries sent to government offices, supplemented with data published by official sources.
International tourism receipts are extremely important for developing nations, contributing to the balance of payments and reducing external debt.
|
|
Purpose:
|
This indicator shows expenditures by international inbound visitors, including payments to national carriers for international transport.
These receipts should include any other prepayment made for goods ans services received in the destination country. They also may include receipts from same-day visitors, except in cases where these are important enough to justify a separate classification. Their share in exports is calculated as a ratio to exports of goods and services.
