How this figure is calculated
Arrivals of tourists from abroad for personal purposes divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Arrivals of tourists from abroad for personal purposes ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Arrivals of tourists from abroad for personal purposes UN Tourism (2025) – processed by Our World in Data
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
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.
