united Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) is optimistic and foresees that global tourism is to grow from 2 to 4 percent in 2013. Although this is a moderate increase compared to last year's, it is still positive data taking into account the current economic scenario. UNWTO has also predicted that international arrivals would grow by 3-4% to cross the mark of one billion for the first time this year. According to UNWTO, emerging countries in Asia and the Americas, in particular, will contribute to this year's increase, whereas growth in Europe and North america is expected to continue at a more moderate pace.Even UK tourism shows signs of recovery with Grant Hearn, Travelodge CEO stating: “Our report confirms UK tourism has successfully weathered the recession and outperformed other key sectors, which is great news. However, as one of Britain's biggest business sectors it deserves the chance to unlock its true potential. We have a real opportunity within our grasp which can play a significant part in helping our economy to recover; our lack of immediate action is costing jobs, growth and investment.” With ITB Berlin and IMEX Frankfurt knocking at the door, travel trade enthusiasts are hoping that the European tourism industry crosses the hurdles that lay ahead in front of them.
