Featured publications include: Asia Pacific Tourism Forecasts 2009-2011 This report is one of the SIC’s flagship publications and provides detailed forecasts of travel demand across the Asia Pacific region.

Realising China’s Tourism Potential Realising China’s Tourism Potential, produced by PATA in cooperation with Visa International, takes an in-depth look at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in developing six key market segments. Through a combination of industry insights and secondary research, this study provides both domestic and inbound tourism businesses and tour operators with invaluable perspectives on the future of tourism in China (PRC). Total Tourism: India For a country of some 1.1 billion residents, India produces an amazing number of international travellers each year. The sub-continent has become a significant contributor to Asia Pacific's international arrivals count, appearing in no less than 29 of the region's country inbound numbers in 2005 when aggregate volumes of Indian arrivals reached almost 2.5 million across the region. Hong Kong Outbound Tourism - a PATA Snapshot The travel and tourism industry worldwide is fiercely competing for a share of the outbound travel markets from the Asia Pacific region, in particular from China and India, countries that have populations that number in the billions. Hong Kong, with a population of only 6.9 million, may not at first glance be considered as a potential market in the same league. Despite its relatively small resident volume, Hong Kong has strengths that are worthy of attention. After all, this relatively small enclave still managed to generate in excess of 70 million outbound trips last year - and not all to China either. In this report, we give you a snapshot of the relatively small but none-the-less influential Hong Kong outbound tourism market. Total Tourism: Russia As poets and politicians have recorded through history, Russia is a fascinating country - and all the more so because of its years behind the Iron Curtain, shrouded in mystery. With a population of over 144 million, comprising as many as 160 different nationalities, Russia covers an area of more than 17 million square kilometres - and no less than 11 time zones Further Industry Research - Bibliography |
