TOURISE and Oxford Economics Forecast 2 Billion International Arrivals by 2030

The new white paper urges visa openness, traveler‑centric rules with forward‑looking infrastructure to build a resilient, data‑led tourism economy.

Overview

  • Unveiled at the inaugural TOURISE Summit, the report "Growth Amid Uncertainty" serves as a roadmap for policymakers, destination leaders, and industry stakeholders.
  • The analysis projects international arrivals rising from about 1.5 billion today to roughly 2 billion by 2030.
  • Adam Sacks of Tourism Economics emphasizes that effective resilience begins with clarity derived from robust data, reinforcing evidence‑based planning.
  • Recommendations prioritize open visa regimes, traveler‑focused policies, and infrastructure investment to capture a forecasted 40% increase in global travel demand by 2030 for prepared destinations.
  • The outlook attributes part of the growth to a shift toward experiential, culturally authentic travel that lengthens stays and lifts per‑trip spending.
