Market Forecast & Reviews

Global travel and tourism enjoyed strong growth worldwide in 2006, and forecasts call for additional growth of 4.6 percent for each of the next ten years. There are a number of factors that will continue to strengthen international travel in general and travel to the United States in particular in 2007, helping reverse noticeable declines in arrivals from many key inbound markets from last year. First, strong economic growth in most regions – spurred by continued expansion in China, renewed signs of life in some of the Eurozone's core economies, and low interest rates around the world – will generate increases in business and leisure travel. In addition, the strong performance of a number of major currencies relative to the U.S. dollar has made travel to the United States less expensive for a large number of international travelers.

TIA's Market Forecast & Reviews cover outbound travel and U.S. arrivals from Brazil, Canada, Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom.  The reports focus on economic, political, social, and travel conditions both within their country of focus and globally.
