World tourism confirms its vitality

World tourism flows achieved another positive performance in 2012, growing by 4% and surpassing one billion tourist arrivals during the year. Emerging markets once again generated the most growth, however, tourist arrivals performed well also in advanced economies.

Steady growth to continue

The tourism industry is forecast to maintain its vitality in the next five years and beyond, benefiting from a growing desire to explore the world among consumers across the globe as well as from the rise of middle and affluent classes in the emerging economies.

A multi-channel model for hotel distribution

The hotel sector benefited in 2012 from the growth in international arrivals, as well as in domestic tourism in countries such as China, Brazil and India. A growing trend in this sector is the emergence of a multi-channel model where the mobile channel and meta-search engines play an important role.

Gulf airlines and LCCs drive air transport growth

Air transport saw healthy 5% growth in 2012 in terms of passengers, with the Middle East achieving the highest increase. The Big Three Gulf airlines drove traffic growth in the region and achieved the best performance among world airlines. Low cost carriers continued to be the most successful category.

Online channel to expand globally

Online travel continued its rise in 2012, at the expense of traditional distribution channels. Advanced economies still accounted for the vast majority of online travel sales, but emerging markets are expected to play a major role in this sector within five years.

Shopping and medical tourism grow fast

Online travel and low cost carriers are the most significant success stories among travel consumers, and will continue to achieve strong performances in the next five years. Other rising consumer trends include medical tourism, shopping tourism, mobile travel, rail transport and private accommodation.
