According to the reports on global tourism trends in 2012, issued by the UNWTO’s, India recorded a slight increase of 5.4% during 2012 in comparison with 9.2% in 2011 and 11.8% in 2010. The nation’s share of the global treasure was just around 5.5% of total tourism receipts.
India's performance was placed at low standards compared to other BRIC countries. Where India was recording very slow pace in arrival of foreign tourists, on the other hand, China recorded a rise of 31% in spending whereas Russian Federation reported an increase of 28% and Brazil was third at 15% during the period, according to the released report. Chinese international tourists came up as the top spenders, recording more than $100 billion in 2012.
In the first half of 2013, the Chinese spent 31% more, the Russians spent 22% more, and Brazil, who is outside of the top 10 list, came back with a 15% growth rate, according to the published reports.
Still, in the initial half of 2013 India was not able to find a place in the top 10 spenders, which is assumed to be due to the fall of rupee. China kept itself ahead as a tourist destination as well. China recorded an arrival of more than 50,000 foreign tourists who spent over $50,000 million while India received 6,649 tourists who spent about $17,971 million. Even with the low economic decline, Southeast Asia witnessed a good boost of around 12% in tourist while the region grew by about 7% in 2012.
According to the published report, an increase of 5% in foreign tourist arrivals worldwide was recorded during the first eight months of 2013. This was chiefly because of the growing traffic to Europe and Southeast Asia, and even because of a revival in North Africa and the Middle East.
