Abstract: Tourism activity and economic performance, particularly that of the major tourism generating and receiving countries, are closely linked. The purpose of this section is to provide those indicators which are regarded as being most relevant to international movements and spend. In one issue each year there will appear information relating to the global picture and by region, together with some detail on the most significant nations. The databank paper in Volume 1, Number 1 was the first in this category. Throughout the remainder of the year each issue will concentrate on a specific region – in this case, economic indicators of tourism in the Caribbean are provided and accompanied by a brief commentary. The main sources of data are those statistics published by the World Tourism Organisation (WTO), the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), Eurostat, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and special reports of the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). Formal definitions associated with the tables presented are often detailed and lengthy and so are not included here. The reader should consult the source material if necessary.
