“The Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2011: Focus on Moving beyond the Downturn” was released by the World Economic Forum at the Global Tourism Forum 2011 this month.<\/p>\n
The Travel & Tourism (T&T) Competitiveness Report 2011 measures and analyzes the drivers of T&T competitiveness in economies around the world. The report includes an analysis of the rankings of the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI), which aims to measure the factors and policies that make it attractive to develop the T&T sector in 139 industrialized and emerging economies. It also features a variety\u00a0of essays on key T&T issues by prominent industry thinkers.<\/p>\n
Among the 139 countries, Armenia was given an overall rank of 90 on the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index, up one place from last year.<\/p>\n
Armenia’s neighboring countries fared better: Georgia was ranked 73rd, Azerbaijan 83rd and Turkey 50th. Iran was given an overall rank of 114.<\/p>\n
Among the 42 countries included in the Europe category, Armenia came in 40th, ranked higher than Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Moldova.<\/p>\n
Topping the TTCI list are Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria, Sweden, the United States, the UK, Spain, Canada and Singapore.<\/p>\n
The TTCI is based on three broad categories of variables that facilitate or drive T&T competitiveness: the T&T regulatory framework, the T&T business environment and infrastructure, and the T&T human, cultural, and natural resources. These, in turn, are composed of a number of pillars of T&T competitiveness, including policy rules & regulations, environmental sustainability, safety and security, health and hygiene, tourism infrastructure, price competitiveness, and human, natural and cultural resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
