The changing face of tourism 

Short. Focused. Explicit. Limpid. Crystal clear. Very good recipe. /JR

Isn't it simply because the Chinese have 3x as many people. Some gotta want to travel.

Stronger Dollar is bad argument. Euro is stronger yet there are more tourists in Europe

I'm gonna go to Paris and the South of France 😍😍😍🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

1:55 - WTF?!!

Great news both for the Mexican tourism sector and for Mexican travellers.¡Viva México! :D

This is true. There's Chinese everywhere

Can 'The Economist' please tell us what was meant by the introductory kind of message at the 'last' of the video?!!

That last bit there... 🤔

*@**1:26**: I've read in multiple places that Bangladesh is actually the least visited country in the world, to the extent that even Saharan countries like Mali and Burkina Faso get more tourists.*

Great work experience

when was this video issued? is there a most recent video of the Topic post-covid times?

I have visited most of the countries in the world and according to me India is the best country as people are very nice and kind and a must visit country as she has one of the ancient culture and huge cultural diversity and very beautiful and diverse landscape. People can learn a lot about life by visiting India.

The most interesting places I'd love to visit are not encouraged for us to visit!!😏

Short but concide. Thanks.

very hard to get a visa to US and may not be worth it

As a person who has a bachelor in tourism management, the idea of the strong currency being less appealing to tourists have always been a debate. For example, Canada currently have wayyyy weaker currency than compare to US; yet, when people (American tourists) were surveyed whether they would want to visit Canada in their life time, they would always put visit Canada in their bucket list rather than actually taking the advantage of their weak currency (so, in our lecture, we concluded it was more of values that drive people to travel. Weaker currency of a destination is a plus, but not a significant decision factor.) . Destination Canada data reveals while US market is still the major market driver of the Canadian tourism industry, the number of visitation did not drastically change compare to other countries visitation like China, India and UK.

Tuvalu IS NOT the least visited country in the world. I just got back from Equatorial Guinea and the Central African Republic. The Central African Republic got less than 250 tourists last year and Equatorial Guinea got less than 150. South Sudan and Yemen probably got even fewer than those two.

~50% of Americans can't even afford to take vacation days. Many use their vacation days (if they get any) for sick leave when they get ill. Out of the ~50% that take vacation days, 40% can't afford vacation outside U.S.A, excluding Canada or Mexico. Then it's only about 10% Americans that can afford to go to EU, Asia, South America, etc... There are millions of Americans that haven't even seen the oceans or have traveled out of their states, one of the downside of working two/three minimum wage jobs. Then the rich gets another tax break.

Can I get the name of the background music? plz😊

went to etretat france and counted 53 asians. then i got bored of counting.

France also offers a certain je ne sais quoi ; they are very tolerant of camping and camper-vans. Laissez faire (let things take their own course) is the French way.

lol wtf happened to the great lakes in the map?

Look at the spendings and compare population to the amount of money spent on holidays ^^ The europeans are still the biggest spending tourists in the world despite they aren't the most tourists ..quiet interesting, especially if you compare with the US

Planned to visit Tuvalu

Absolut beeindruckendes Video 😊😊😊 Hat mir sehr geholfen bei meiner Präsi zum Thema Travel Liebe Grüße vom HHG 1:55

For Europeans, there's a lot of great things to see in Europe, so fewer middle class citizens spend hundreds of dollars for plane tickets to America. For less than the cost of a plane ticket to the US and back, they can have a full city break in other EU countries

Very interesting, especially now 😬

Were people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen really travelling to the US in such droves as to have such a profound effect on the US tourism industry? Common sense says no

@0:40 thalaivar rajni 😍😍😍

I prefer this kind of short informative video rather than people speaking too many facts that its hard to remember

in the future, more countries will be easily accessible for tourism

People are comming to Hemsedal. It is best.

well unfortunately now China is experiencing consumption downgrade so maybe they won't account for a quarter of the travelers. In the meantime, I noticed undeniable increase of Indian tourists in the US and Europe, especially in the past 2 years. So I guess maybe India is going to the biggest traveling people by 2030.

!!! SO DISSAPPOINTED!!! The content of the speak is so useful. However, why the official channel like @THE ECONOMIST had a really serious mistake about the national flag of VIETNAM AND CHINA. VIETNAM & CHINA are different and the national flag is one of the country's signature too. Although we have some similarities details on the flag, it's so disappointed when see the vietnamese flag picture and then hear that mentioned the chinese one. I hope that the admin can see my comments and make adjustments. Just imagine we present the UK's flag and mention it's the australian one. Could you feel easy about this? Thanks

I only need 1000$ just to make a round flight from dubai to US.

What! I believe the flag in 0:23 is vietnamese

New York last year had 63 million visitors .

I thought the title said terrorism Silly me

They are also in Europe.

Okay

So the Chinese visit Thailand (staying in Asia), Americans visit Mexico (staying in north America) but Europeans explicitly stay in Europe?

Here they come Tuvalu

❤❤❤❤ Hola 🥰buen trabajo🙌 Amazing job 😍super LIKE 👍🏻Gracias por compartir 🙏Suerte 🫶🏼🙏🫶🏼

Strange map of Europe...

Thank god, I have visa-free access to 178 countries with my passport. 👌🏻

Most of that Chinese travel money is for business of course

When I had visited thailand All I seen are chinese...everywhere 😐

Visit Mexico

Brazil's middle class isn't doing that well

Aime si t'écoutes ça en anglais

That country America full of other countries 🤔

I fight for food What's wrong?

Advertised / Promoted Tourism should end and we should all return to Natural Tourism. What is Natural Tourism, It's when you travel to visit Friends or Family or Traveling for Business

USA are burning and are horribly hot. Why on earth would people go there ? Europe is a lot more interesting place to visit.

留下一句汉语 是时候出口转内销了

VISIT

I will never visit America, not interested to be interviewed for hours on end, denied holiday visa, subject to prejudice and open racism. No thanks I'll spend my money elsewhere

Nice video. Better than the political and social videos that the economist likes to do

Learn Mandarin.

İREM BAKMA

The Economist showing its true colours again; first promoting an Islamic state with the last advertisement for Saudi Arabia followed by this drivel. The Economist pretends to make a statement about tourism but of course ends it with a dig at the USA stating that the 4% decline is due to the travel ban, more visa checks and a stronger US dollar. Obama's travel ban, instigated by Trump is focused on a small group of relatively poor, Islamic countries known for extremism; these countries account for a tiny fraction of tourism dollars yet the Economist put this at the top of the list. Pathetic. To enter the USA, people from many countries require a visa; this has always been the case and checking the visas is a routine role of border/immigration security so to suggest that there are "more" visa checks is a very disingenuous action by the Economist. Surprise, surprise, the USA economy is doing well and the dollar is stronger. This is probably the only real reason that the USA tourism activity is down 4%; a trip to Disneyland costs more this year than last. The Economist has truly lost its focus. So sad.

Why go to the USA anyway. It's National Parks are certainly worth a visit but overall it's just Europe, but louder.

Okay people you know the drill! *Who are the worst tourists?!* _only submissions with examples._

Knowing Trump, he'll probably pass the blame for this!

Travel Bans on people from Muslim countries? Last time I checked, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were not on the travel ban list. Let's not use the Islamophobe label against the Trump admin (I'm not defending him), but saying "travel bans against muslim countries" is a bit far-fetched.

Lol not an economist video without a little US bashing in the end but casually fails to mention that US is still the 2nd most visited country in the world by tourists. The world needs USA to survive and not the other way around.

thank you Trump

Moin Servus moin

😃😃

Thailand is overrated

USA tourism down by 4%

Trump's surely making America 'grate'

It's getting bit too much here in Europe. And by bit too much I mean absolutely ridiculous, it's not sustainable.

They come to Brazil and won't leave. At least in my city

Name one thing any tourist could possibly want to see or do in the US.

France forever first in tourism.

The cryptocurrency has charted a 10-fold rally in the past 11 months, offering a significantly higher return than gold amid the massive inflation-boosting monetary and fiscal stimulus delivered by authorities worldwide to counter the coronavirus-induced economic slowdown. The precious metal reached a record high of $56.000 in February 2021 and has been trending higher ever since. I invested 6BTC and I have been earning 2BTC weekly.

0:23 That's the flag of Vietnam. Please respect!!!!

Time to learn Mandarin

Stronger Dollar she said... guys I'm gonna go and laugh in that corner for a while.

The US is dealing with the Trump Slump. 💯

France is NOT the most "visited" country. That's just manipulation of statistics. More than 60% of the visitors to France are just passing by: from northern Europe to southern Europe, from eastern Europe to western Europe, vice versa... A country with the ugliest 'landmark': unfinished scaffolding called 'Eiffel'.
