Located in the number 17 spot on the list of global competitiveness in travel and tourism 2015, China has maintained its competitiveness as important in East Asia tourist destination, according to a report given released today by the World Economic Forum (WEF).
The Competitiveness Index Travel and Tourism 2015 measured 141 economies in terms of its potential to generate economic and social benefits through sustainable industry travel and tourism.
In the evaluation of 2015, Spain topped the world rankings for the first time followed by the tourist destinations of France, Germany, USA, UK, Switzerland, Australia, Italy, Japan and Canada that were located in the first 10 places.
The report notes that the gap in competitiveness between these advanced and emerging market economies is declining.
The natural and cultural resources of China price competitiveness and help it settle at the site 17 of the standings.
But factors such as the concentration of particles in the air and tourist service infrastructure undermine competitiveness.
Other countries in Asia-Pacific with good performance are the most advanced economies in the region: Australia (seventh place), Japan (ninth), Singapore (eleventh), Hong Kong (13th place) and New Zealand (site 16).
Due to the increasing number of international tourist arrivals and middle class in the region, East Asia is one of the most vibrant places of the world, the report said.
“Travelers are becoming increasingly sensitive to environmental issues when selecting their destination and are more informed than ever before thanks to the media and the Internet,” said Roberto Crotti, economist at the WEF.
Crotti added that many countries can still do much more to address the challenges related to travel and tourism, environmental protection, the development of ICT and better promotion of cultural heritage. “This in turn can lead to more competitiveness and employment,” he said. End
