Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2008

Switzerland, Austria and Germany still top the rankings

Switzerland, Austria and Germany have the most conducive environments for developing the travel and tourism industry, according to the second annual Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2008. Australia, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Sweden, Canada and France complete the top-10 list.

This year’s Report, under the theme Balancing Economic Development and Environmental Sustainability, places a particular focus on this issue, both through a reinforced environmental component of the Index used to measure travel & tourism (T&T) competitiveness and through topics covered by the analytical chapters. The Report includes an analysis of the rankings of the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI). It also features detailed profiles for the 130 economies covered, together with data tables for each
indicator used in the Index’s computation.
