There were 25m more international tourist arrivals in the first six months of this year than in the same period last year, estimates the UN’s World Tourism Organisation. The number of overnight visits rose by 5%, to almost 500m. Emerging markets led the growth, with an increase of 6%; arrivals in developed countries rose by 4%. Travel to Japan rose fast, boosted by a weaker yen. The world’s most popular destination, France, has seen little growth in trips this year, but a recovery in tourism has been a rare bright spot for crisis-hit Greece. Although arrivals in China fell by 4% in the first half of this year, the Chinese are the biggest spenders abroad ($102 billion in 2012) and their spending is up by 30% in 2013.
