Trends and Forecasts

I. Arrivals

The total number of tourist inbound trips shall rise from 15.7 million in 2006 to around 19 million in 2012 and 2013. We assume some changes in structure of inbound tourism: in terms of generating countries (chart 2 and 3) as well as in purposes of visits. Leisure and business trips are supposed to grow faster than transit, shopping-oriented and VFR trips (chart 4). Significant growth can be seen in use of commercial accommodation (chart 5).
Consequently, receipts from international arrivals are expected to rise (chart 6).
