Tourist Arrivals YoY measures the annual percentage change in the number of international visitors entering a country. This indicator is a vital proxy for the health of the services sector and international trade in services. High growth in tourist arrivals boosts foreign exchange reserves and supports industries like hospitality, transport, and retail. It is particularly significant for economies where tourism contributes a substantial portion of the GDP.
The data is compiled from border control records, visa applications, and airport arrival statistics. The YoY figure compares the current month's total arrivals to the same month in the previous year to eliminate seasonal variations.
