int'l arrivals
According to the WTO, in 2002 the number of international tourist arrivals grew by 2.7% after a decrease of 0.5% in 2001:
  • for the first time, the 700 million mark was surpassed and compared to the previous record year 2000 almost 16 million more arrivals were counted;


  • all regions performed positively except for the Americas, which saw their tourist arrivals decline for the second year in a row: -10% in the period 2001-2002, still feeling the effects of ‘11 September’.
