TRAVEL AND COMPETITIVENESS INDEX (2015)

Submitted by christian on Tue, 08/04/2015 - 13:29

The index has been developed in the context of the World Economic Forum’s Industry Partnership Programme for Aviation & Travel, and in close collaboration with its strategic design partner Strategy& and its data partners Bloom consulting, Deloitte, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the UNWTO and the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC).

Still based on 14 pillars, this edition’s new methodology is organized into four sub indexes:

The Enabling Environment sub-index, which captures the general settings necessary for operating in a country:

  1. Business Environment
  2. Safety and Security
  3. Health and Hygiene
  4. Human Resources and Labour Market
  5. ICT Readiness

 The T&T Policy and Enabling Conditions sub-index, which captures specific policies or strategic aspects that impact the T&T industry more directly:

  1. Prioritization of Travel and Tourism
  2. International Openness
  3. Price Competitiveness
  4. Environmental Sustainability

 The Infrastructure sub-index, which captures the availability and quality of physical infrastructure of each economy:

  1. Air Transport Infrastructure
  2. Ground and Port Infrastructure
  3. Tourist Service Infrastructure

 And the Natural and Cultural Resources sub-index, which captures the principal “reasons to travel”:

  1. Natural Resources
  2. Cultural Resources and Business Travel
