International tourist arrival in India grew by 13
percent during the first nine months of 2013,
United Nation World Tourism Organisation
(UNWTO) data showed.
India is among the top 25 largest international
tourism earners.
Other prominent countries that saw double-digit
growth in international tourist arrivals include the
United States (11 percent), Macao (China) (10
percent), Britain (18 percent), Thailand (28
percent), Hong Kong (21 percent), Turkey (13
percent), Japan (23 percent), Greece (15 percent)
and Taiwan (12 percent).
In the first nine months of 2013, international
tourism grew by 5 percent according to the latest
UNWTO World Tourism Barometer.
The number of international tourist arrivals
reported by destinations around the world
increased by some 41 million between January
and September, growing above UNWTO's initial
forecast and creating an important stimulus to
the receiving economies.
International tourist arrivals grew by 5 percent in
the first nine months of the year, to reach a
record 845 million worldwide, an estimated 41
million more than in the same period of 2012.
Growth was driven by Europe and Asia and the
Pacific, both seeing tourist numbers increase by 6
percent.
"International tourism continues to grow above
expectations, supporting economic growth in both
advanced and emerging economies and bringing
much needed support to job creation, GDP and
the balance of payments of many destinations,"
UNWTO Secretary General Taleb Rifai said in a
statement.
"It is particularly encouraging to see the strong
results in many European destinations, where the
tourism sector is, undoubtedly, one of the engines
of the economic recovery," Rifai said.
Among the top ten source markets, Russia led
growth, with expenditure on trips abroad up by 29
percent in the first nine months of the year.
China, which became the number one source
market in the world last year ($102 billion), also
continued to see rapid growth, posting a 22
percent increase in expenditure on outbound
tourism in the first nine months of 2013.
