The second part of the T&T indicators presents

data on international tourist arrivals and interna-
tional tourism receipts over the period 1995 to
2005. In some cases data are missing for particular
years.The graph shows all available data during this
period for each economy.The data were provided
by the UNWTO.

• For the top 10 economies in the overall Travel &

Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI), any variables
on which the economy is ranked 10th or higher are
considered to be advantages. Any variables ranked
below 10 are considered to be disadvantages. For
example, the United States, ranked 5th overall, has
the indicator “airport density” (8th) listed as an
advantage, while the indicator “stringency of
environmental regulations” (21st) is considered as
a disadvantage.

“n/a” is used in lieu of the rank and the value.

In the case of hard data, true ties between two
or more countries are possible. In such cases, shared
rankings are indicated accordingly. For example, in
both Singapore and Switzerland T&T government
expenditure represents 7.5 percent of the total budget.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA), founded in April 1945, is the prime vehicle for
inter-airline cooperation in promoting safe, reliable, secure, and economical air services. Today
IATA represents 250 airlines comprising 94 percent of international scheduled air traffic.
Qatar Airways is one of the world’s fastest-growing airlines, achieving unprecedented growth
averaging 35 percent year on year.
It relaunched in 1997 under the guidance and vision of His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin
Khalifa Al Thani, Emir of Qatar, whose mandate was clear—to create a premium quality airline that
would excel in service and set industry standards, which others could only admire with envy.
Qatar Airways excels in leadership and innovation—it was the first in the world to pass
the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit with a maximum
100 percent compliance in 2003.
Ten years on, under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways
has developed into an award-winning business, achieving a Five Star ranking for superior levels
of service both in the air and on the ground.
Today, Qatar Airways operates more than 70 scheduled routes worldwide with a modern
fleet of more than 50 all-Airbus aircraft.
Royal Jordanian Airlines was established in 1963 upon the initiative of his late Majesty King
Hussein, and has been flying continuously ever since. With a fleet of 25 aircraft, Royal Jordanian
flies to over 50 destinations, serving the widest network of international airports in the Middle
East and Arab World of any airline. Based in Amman, the airline also serves Europe, Asia, and
the United States. With three destinations in the United States, Royal Jordanian also has the
most extensive coverage of the United States of any Middle Eastern airline. It was the first air-
line in the Middle East invited to join one of the three global airline alliances, and will become
460 part of oneworld in early 2007.
Restructured over the past few years, Royal Jordanian operates as a public shareholding
company with no support (direct or indirect) from the Jordanian government. It is on track for
privatization of the core business in 2007, with most of the auxiliary businesses already spun
off successfully. Royal Jordanian has generated a net profit since 2004. Its recent strategy has
created a strong regional network, which supports His Majesty King Abdullah’s vision of Amman
positioning itself as a regional hub.
Silversea is a cruise company reflecting generations of maritime and travel experience. In the
early 1990s, the Lefebvre family of Rome, former owners of Sitmar Cruises, conceived and
organized a unique cruise company pledging to build and operate the highest-quality ships in the
ultra-luxury segment.
Silversea launched its first ship, Silver Cloud, in 1994, followed by Silver Wind in 1995, Silver
Shadow in 2000, and the newest ship, Silver Whisper in 2001. The fleet was purpose-built for
the ultra-luxury market, establishing a new class of smaller, intimate vessels that could slip into
more exotic ports off the beaten path. These elite vessels were specifically designed for fewer
guests, more space, and the highest levels of personalized service, delivered by Italian officers
and European staff.
Taking the company into the future is Albert Peter, Silversea’s Chief Executive Officer. Since
taking the leadership reins in June 2001, Mr. Peter has steered the company to a steady course
of high customer satisfaction, financial stability, and new product innovation.
Swiss International Air Lines is Switzerland’s national airline, serving 69 destinations around the
world from its Zurich hub and from Basel and Geneva international airports. Operating a fleet of
69 aircraft, SWISS is a key player within the Lufthansa Group and the global Star Alliance.
SWISS will remain true to its mission of providing quality air services that link Switzerland with
Europe and the world.
People who fly with SWISS should always feel at home. And, with its core values of
“personal care,” “Swiss hospitality,” and “quality down to the finest detail,” SWISS will
continue to maintain its high market profile as Switzerland’s national airline, committed at all
times to providing first-class service on board and on the ground.
