1997-2006 regional distribution pattern of global international tourism reception

According to the tourist flow and tourism development, the world is divided into six regions, and the World Tourism Organization has six corresponding regional committees. (1) Europe. Europe is the most developed tourism region in the world, with the number of outbound tourists and inbound tourists, international tourism consumption and tourism foreign exchange income ranking first in the world. (2) the United States. The United States has developed tourism, and its development level is second only to Europe, making it the second largest tourist area in the world. Canada, Mexico and Caribbean countries are also developed in international tourism reception. In recent years, Brazil has developed rapidly as a tourist exporting country. (3) East Asia and the Pacific. Tourism in the Asia-Pacific region continues to develop at a high speed, and the tourist flow in the international tourism market gradually moves eastward, which is one of the important characteristics of the development of the international tourism market in recent years and an important trend of the future international tourism development. Japan's outbound tourism fever has developed rapidly and attracted people's attention. There are also the "Four Little Dragons of Asia" and Australia, and outbound tourism has developed rapidly. Following 1997, China's outbound tourism has become a highlight of the international tourism market. (4) Africa. In recent years, the number of international tourists has increased rapidly, but as far as the generation of international tourists is concerned, the scale of this market has yet to be developed. (5) Middle East. After the 1970s, due to the Gulf War and political turmoil, the number of receptionists and foreign exchange income declined, but the development speed has accelerated in recent years. As the source of international tourists, the Middle East has always been valued by the world, because many oil-producing countries in this region are economically rich countries. (6) South Asia. Since 1980s, it has also developed rapidly. Because the level of national economic development in this area is still relatively backward, the overseas tourism market in this area is still relatively low.
