How this figure is calculated
Arrivals of tourists from abroad for personal purposes divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Arrivals of tourists from abroad for personal purposes ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Arrivals of tourists from abroad for personal purposes UN Tourism (2025) – processed by Our World in Data
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
