Statistiques du tourisme

 Le système des statistiques du tourisme fait partie intégrante du système statistique national. Il fournit des informations statistiques fiables, cohérentes et appropriées sur les aspects socioéconomiques liés au tourisme, qui sont intégrées aux statistiques économiques et sociales se rapportant à d’autres domaines et à différents niveaux territoriaux.

With new situations emerging from the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, some clarifications need to be made to the UN statistical standards on tourism to maintain as far as possible data consistency and international comparability

UNWTO systematically gathers tourism statistics from countries and territories around the world into a vast database that constitutes the most comprehensive statistical information available on the tourism sector. 

The United Nations recognizes UN Tourism as the appropriate organization to collect, to analyze, to publish, to standardize and to improve the statistics of tourism, and to promote the integration of these statistics within the sphere of the United Nations system

Tourism is a social, cultural and economic phenomenon which entails the movement of people to countries or places outside their usual environment for personal or business/professional purposes. These people are called visitors (which may be either tourists or excursionists; residents or non-residents) and tourism has to do with their activities, some of which involve tourism expenditure.
