Between January and August 2017, destinations worldwide welcomed 901 million international tourist arrivals when compared to the previous year there was 56 million more tourists travelling internationally with 7% growth. These statistics illustrate positive outcomes for the rest of the remaining months of 2017 and is the eight consecutive year of continued solid growth for international tourism. The United National World Tourism Organisation regions illustrate the strongest growth in Africa (+9%) and Europe (+8%), followed by Asia and the Pacific (+6%), the Middle East (+5%) and the Americas (+3%). This strong performance is confirmed by experts from around the world and the last four months of 2017 remain also resilient according to the experts. The UNWTO Secretary General Taleb Rifai stated that “Tourism is a major economic engine and employment generator, contributing to the improvement of livelihoods of millions of people around the world” 1.1 Regional Results In Europe international arrivals grew by 8% and recovered in both Southern and Mediterranean Europe by 12% and Western Europe by 7% following a weak 2016.

    The Case for Responsible Travel: Center for Responsible Travel Transforming the Way the World Travels Trends & Statistics 2017 ***Special edition in recognition of the UN’s International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development The United Nations designated 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, recognizing, in its resolution, “the important role of sustainable tourism as a positive instrument towards the eradication of poverty, the protection of the environment, the improvement of quality of life and the economic empowerment of women and youth and its contribution to… sustainable development, especially in developing countries.”1 This International Year (IY2017, as it is known) comes 15 years after the UN’s designation of the International Year of Ecotourism in 2002. Responsible travel has come a long way, from its original roots in small-scale, nature- and culture-based ecotourism. Today sustainability – environmental, social, and economic – is increasingly recognized as the benchmark for all tourism business, of all sizes, in all destinations, and across all sectors of the industry. In addition, the UN’s 2017 International Year clearly recognizes that sustainable tourism is an important tool for development, most importantly in poor communities and countries. As noted by the UN World Tourism Organization, 57% of international tourist arrivals in 2030 will be in emerging economies.2 And in 2017 and 2018, emerging and developing economies are forecast to grow 4.5 and 4.8% respectively, outpacing the

I have great pleasure in presenting "India Tourism Statistics 2011". The Ministry has been presenting tourism related data on a regular basis and this is the 54th in the series of such publications. This publication contains data on Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs), Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEE) from tourism, domestic tourism, hotel, travel trade and training institutions in the field of travel and tourism. The publication also includes guidelines of the various schemes of the Ministry of Tourism for wider dissemination of the same. During the year 2011, India registered a positive growth of 9.2% over 2010. The growth rate of 9.2% in 2011 for India is very encouraging as compared to UNWTO's estimated growth rate of 5% for the world as a whole in 2011. I am sure that information contained in this publication will be useful for all involved in the travel and tourism industry, including policy makers, administrators and researchers. We would, however, welcome suggestions for improvement in the content and coverage of the publication.
