Country tables, Compendium of Tourism Statistics Data 2014 – 2018 2020 Edition The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), a United Nations specialized agency, is the leading international organization with the decisive and central role in promoting the development of responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism. It serves as a global forum for tourism policy issues and a practical source of tourism know-how. Its membership includes 159 countries, 6 territories, 2 permanent observers and over 500 Affiliate Members. Understanding, for each country, where its inbound tourism is generated is essential for analysing international tourism flows and devising marketing strategies, such as those related to the positioning of national markets abroad. Deriving from the most comprehensive statistical database available on the tourism sector, the Yearbook of Tourism Statistics focuses on data related to inbound tourism ( total arrivals and overnight stays ), broken down by country of origin. The 2020 Edition of these Methodological Notes in English, French and Spanish presents data for 203 countries from 2014 to 2018.
