The World Tourism Barometer is a publication of the World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) that monitors shortterm tourism trends on a regular basis to provide global tourism stakeholders with up-to-date analysis on international tourism. The information is updated several times a year and includes an analysis of the latest data on tourism destinations (inbound tourism) and source markets (outbound tourism). The Barometer also includes three times a year a Confidence Index based on the UN Tourism
Panel of Experts survey, which provides an evaluation of recent performance and short-term prospects on international tourism. The UN Tourism Secretariat wishes to express its gratitude to those who have contributed to the production of this World Tourism Barometer, in particular to institutions that supplied data, and to the members of the UN Tourism Panel of Experts for their valuable feedback and analysis.
