Every year, WTTC produces reports on the economic and employment impact of Travel & Tourism for 185 countries/economies and 28 geographic or economic regions in the world. These Economic Impact Research (EIR) reports, created in conjunction with Oxford Economics, are a vital tool in helping us to equip public and private sector bodies with hard evidence of the huge value Travel & Tourism brings to the economy, so that their policymaking and investment decisions support our sector.

‍

Each comprehensive report includes:

• Absolute and relative contributions of Travel & Tourism to GDP and employment, international and domestic spending
• Data on leisure and business spending, capital investment, government spending and outbound spending
• Tables ranking the economy or region against other competing destinations  and/or benchmarked against the world average across various metrics
• Charts comparing data across every year from 2014 to 2024
• Detailed data tables for the years 2018-2023, plus forecasts for 2024 and the decade to 2034

WTTC also provides free EIR factsheets for each of the economies and regions.
