Northern Ireland's Excellence. Author: Excellence Publications. Published: 01 Oct 2003.
As
a result of discussions with the Office of the First Minister of Northern
Ireland it was agreed that there was the need for a quality publication to
promote all that is best about the new Northern Ireland to a national and
international audience.To date any publication has either been historical
(primarily concerned with the last thirty five years of the Province's
history), geographical or statistical and whilst these publications were
important in their own right there wasn't a publication that told the reader
of the "excellence" that has emanated from Ireland and Northern Ireland, for
example; the way Northern Ireland is governed in light of the Belfast
Agreement, the ways in which people of Irish heritage have helped shape the
great nations of our world and the work of the north/south bodies,
Intertrade Ireland, Tourism Ireland and The Loughs Agency as examples.

General
Guidelines for Using Data on International Air-Passenger Traffic for Tourism
Analysis.
World Tourism
Organization (WTO), International Air Transport Association (IATA). Dec 2002.
These guidelines aim to provide advice
for the use of international air passenger traffic data in the analysis of the
tourism market sector, in market research and surveys as well as other
statistical exercises. The data can be used to complement passenger arrival
numbers with basic characteristics such as country of residence, visitor
typology, purpose of trip, main form of accommodation used, and main
destination, as well as to help gauge the size and behavior of the main
tourist-generating markets. This type of data is derived from administrative
controls and the maintenance of comprehensive records of flight arrivals and
departures. Paperback, 74 pp.

events are two forces which can have a major socio-economic impact upon the

International Olympic Committee and the World Tourism Organization. The
report seeks to analyze the challenges and future trends in the growth of

Tourism Market
Trends.
World Tourism
Organization (WTO). Jan 2003.
This publication is part of a series
of annual reports which analyze trends in international tourism. It focuses
on regional and subregional tourism trends in 2001 in Africa as a whole, and
by individual country. It looks at arrivals, receipts, hotel capacity, and
major source markets. The year 2001 is regarded by tourism experts as the
worst year in living memory, and Africa was the only region in the world to
improve on its previous year's level of tourist arrivals, by registering a
4.3 per cent growth increase. Generally, tourism to the continent is
influenced by its own immediate problems rather than world developments,
with the domestic instability in a single country having negative effects on
perceptions of the region as a whole. It is hoped that joint programs, such
as the New Partnership for Africa's Development (Nepad) initiative (by which
African governments have pledged to promote transparent democratic
governance, human rights and the prevention of conflict) will help encourage
tourism to the region. Paperback, xxvi + 256 pp.

Americas.
Tourism Market Trends.
World Tourism
Organization (WTO). Jan 2003.
This is part of a series of annual
reports which analyze trends in international tourism, with a focus on
in-bound tourism. It looks at regional and subregional tourism flows and
earnings through 2001 in the North America, the Caribbean, Central and South
America by region as a whole, by subregions and by individual country. Data
is given for arrivals, receipts, hotel capacity and major source markets.
Growth in international tourism arrivals in the region for the first eight
months of 2001 was 0.3 per cent, due mainly to intensifying global economic
problems, especially in the United States. Following the September 11
terrorist attacks in the United States, arrivals were badly affected, and
for the year as a whole the region recorded a decline of six per cent. The
United States bore the brunt of the downturn, and finished the year down
10.7 per cent, its worst recorded decline. Paperback, xxvi + 336 pp.

Asia and the Pacific.
Tourism Market
Trends.
World Tourism
Organization (WTO). Jan 2003.
This is part of a series of annual
reports which analyze trends in international tourism. It focuses on
regional and subregional tourism flows and earnings through 2001 in Asia and
the Pacific as a whole, and by individual country. It looks at arrivals,
receipts, hotel capacity, and major source markets. Overall, this region
continued to show significant growth in its international tourist market
during 2001, although it suffered a similar decline in the months following
the September 11 terrorist attacks as the rest of the world. It recorded the
highest growth rate in 2001 in international tourists arrivals compared to
any other world region (five per cent growth compared to a fall of 0.6 per
cent globally), a fact even more impressive in the light of the 12.3 per
cent increase during the previous year. The East Asia and Pacific region
recorded the most significant growth of 5.5 per cent, with 115 million
tourist arrivals to this area alone. Paperback, xxvi + 257 pp.

Europe.
Tourism Market
Trends.
World Tourism
Organization (WTO). 2002.
Part of a series of annual reports
which analyze trends in international tourism, this publication focuses on
regional and subregional tourism flows and earnings through 2001 in Europe
as a whole, and by individual country. It looks at arrivals, receipts, hotel
capacity, and major source markets. Key Findings: Although Europe has the
world's highest level of intraregional tourism, tourist arrivals from
outside the region were badly hit by global events during 2001. The level of
International tourist arrivals declined at a comparable rate to the global
trend, largely due to the effects of the world economic downturn and
exacerbated by the fall in international travel following the September 11
terrorist attacks in the US, and the foot and mouth epidemic. Northern
Europe ended the year with Europe's worst result, down 5.9 per cent; with
Britain down 9.4 per cent and estimates of £2 billion in lost international
tourism revenue. Paperback, 359 pp.

Middle East.
Tourism Market
Trends.
World Tourism
Organization (WTO). 2002.
This is part of a series of annual
reports which analyze trends in international tourism. It focuses on
regional and subregional tourism flows and earnings through 2001 in the
Middle East as a whole, and by individual country. It looks at arrivals,
receipts, hotel capacity, and major source markets. During 2001,
international tourist arrivals to the region decreased by 2.5 per cent,
largely due to the global economic downturn and the uncertainty caused by
the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, reflecting a
general fall in world tourism by an average of 0.6 per cent. However, the
region's average annual growth of 9.5 per cent during the past five years
has been the highest of all WTO regions, and more than five points above the
world average. Egypt is the region's main destination for international
tourists with 4.5 million visitors during 2001. Paperback, xxvi + 131 pp.

reports by the World Tourism Organization which consider trends in the

worldwide in 2001 which complements the five regional volumes in the series.

tourism. The report also contains in-depth analysis of three tourism topics:
the international meetings market; a case study of activities to promote
Hong Kong as a convention and corporate events destination; and ecotourism.
The statistics have been supplied by the individual countries and
comparability is not assured due to variations in data collection methods.
The report notes that 2001 was the worst year for tourism in living memory,
due to the downturn in the world economy and the events of 11 September.
