WEF’s Travel and Tourism Development Index 2021 shows uneven after pandemic recovery

The Travel and Tourism Index assesses 117 economies and identifies the key factors in enabling the sustainable and resilient growth of travel and tourism economies. COVID-19 shutdowns have re-emphasized the significant contribution travel and tourism makes to many economies around the world.

However, as the world emerges from the effects of the pandemic, the economies must start to invest in building a strong and resilient environment for delivering the travel and tourism experience and services.

Other than the United States, the top 10 economies on the Travel and Tourism Development Index 2021 are the high-income economies in Europe or the Asia Pacific.
