- Tourism is one of the biggest industries in the world-and it's rapidly changing. Chinese travellers have overtaken Americans as the biggest spenders and nearly all regions are welcoming more tourists. Except one.

Isn't it simply because the Chinese have 3x as many people. Some gotta want to travel.
Well no it's not simply because they have a larger population, becuase they have always had a larger population. In 1960 they had 3.6x the US' population but wouldn't have been anywhere near the biggest travelers as 90% were peasants and at the time they were having humanity's deadliest famine(30m, maybe 45m, dead in 3yrs from starvation(that like if everyone in Belgium, the Netherlands and Scotland starved)). But now 30% of China is 'middle class'(and no one's a peasant) which is 414m people, 100m more than the US population, 100m less than the EU population(and those are total population, not just middle class people.)
Mr EHEHE, parts of china are not toxic. What you're talking is big cities like shanghai, beijing, guangzhou, hong kong. www.topchinatravel.com/pic/china-tour-pic/jiuzhaigou/jiuzhaigou-12.jpg
Yes, it is that China has so many people, as the video explained. Only 7% of Chinese own passports

Stronger Dollar is bad argument. Euro is stronger yet there are more tourists in Europe
That’s because Europe is close to tourists, whereas the US is very far. The further destination, higher ticket price.
1:55 - WTF?!!
haha interesting.
what is it?
Alexander Blanchard
They put the introduction kind of speech at the end.
I'm gonna go to Paris and the South of France 😍😍😍🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
South of France is nice though. Paris probably must be ✓off but you either have to move there to 'take in' the city or you need to narrow down the list of things you want see to not more then two per day or else you run around like a headless chicken.
Visit Lyon and the french alps instead!
Ok ;)
Paris is crap.
/Frenchie
europeans travelling with european union should not be considered 'international tourist' but instead some american person from california going to texas,or a chinese citizen from hunan flying to gansu.
This is true. There's Chinese everywhere
为了证明你说的是真的，我在这里留下一句汉语

Hi
您好
Jing Li Haha yeah IKR
Great news both for the Mexican tourism sector and for Mexican travellers.¡Viva México! :D
~50% of Americans can't even afford to take vacation days. Many use their vacation days (if they get any) for sick leave when they get ill.
Out of the ~50% that take vacation days, 40% can't afford vacation outside U.S.A, excluding Canada or Mexico.
Then it's only about 10% Americans that can afford to go to EU, Asia, South America, etc...
There are millions of Americans that haven't even seen the oceans or have traveled out of their states, one of the downside of working two/three minimum wage jobs.
Then the rich gets another tax break.
Joseph Smith a lot of us citizens travel within the usa, sometimes tyey don't need to go overseas
Why do you need to travel outside when you are in the USA? It has everything. Wish I could visit USA
Joseph Smith Imagine most people in the world had money. Travel industry would boom. It is important to improve living conditions of people around the world. It pays off.
While I don't necessarily disagree with your rhetoric, I feel like you pulled these numbers out of your ass.
That last bit there... 🤔
I thought "WTF?". If you ignore the progress bar, it seemed that the video is on 'Repeat' mode and will start all over once again! Very silly error from 'The Economist'.
*@**1:26**: I've read in multiple places that Bangladesh is actually the least visited country in the world, to the extent that even Saharan countries like Mali and Burkina Faso get more tourists.*
You know it's a muslim country all are conservative It's no safe and free for western people.
I have visited most of the countries in the world and according to me India is the best country as people are very nice and kind and a must visit country as she has one of the ancient culture and huge cultural diversity and very beautiful and diverse landscape. People can learn a lot about life by visiting India.
Great work experience
Short but concide. Thanks.
Can 'The Economist' please tell us what was meant by the introductory kind of message at the 'last' of the video?!!
definitely an error.
Somebody messed up.
As a person who has a bachelor in tourism management, the idea of the strong currency being less appealing to tourists have always been a debate. For example, Canada currently have wayyyy weaker currency than compare to US; yet, when people (American tourists) were surveyed whether they would want to visit Canada in their life time, they would always put visit Canada in their bucket list rather than actually taking the advantage of their weak currency (so, in our lecture, we concluded it was more of values that drive people to travel. Weaker currency of a destination is a plus, but not a significant decision factor.) .
Destination Canada data reveals while US market is still the major market driver of the Canadian tourism industry, the number of visitation did not drastically change compare to other countries visitation like China, India and UK.
Good points but If you have a family of five and an average income, that trip to Disney Land may now be too expensive. Our personal economics dictate spending patterns.
Also remember that the cost of living (i.e buying food, going to restaurants, staying at hotels) are also more expensive in Canada than in other parts of America. The weak dollar isn't weak enough to give a financial benefit for Canadians.
John Alexander if expensive, even developing country had it too
Planned to visit Tuvalu
France also offers a certain je ne sais quoi ;
they are very tolerant of camping and camper-vans.
Laissez faire (let things take their own course) is the
French way.
Tuvalu IS NOT the least visited country in the world. I just got back from Equatorial Guinea and the Central African Republic. The Central African Republic got less than 250 tourists last year and Equatorial Guinea got less than 150. South Sudan and Yemen probably got even fewer than those two.
when was this video issued? is there a most recent video of the Topic post-covid times?
Absolut beeindruckendes Video 😊😊😊 Hat mir sehr geholfen bei meiner Präsi zum Thema Travel
Liebe Grüße vom HHG 1:55
Very interesting, especially now 😬
Can I get the name of the background music? plz😊
The most interesting places I'd love to visit are not encouraged for us to visit!!😏
Look at the spendings and compare population to the amount of money spent on holidays ^^ The europeans are still the biggest spending tourists in the world despite they aren't the most tourists ..quiet interesting, especially if you compare with the US
People are comming to Hemsedal. It is best.
lol wtf happened to the great lakes in the map?
went to etretat france and counted 53 asians.
then i got bored of counting.
john pardon so many that u have visit bro?
For Europeans, there's a lot of great things to see in Europe, so fewer middle class citizens spend hundreds of dollars for plane tickets to America. For less than the cost of a plane ticket to the US and back, they can have a full city break in other EU countries
@0:40 thalaivar rajni 😍😍😍
in the future, more countries will be easily accessible for tourism
very hard to get a visa to US and may not be worth it
RPDBY in my case it costed 60$ for a visa and 1000$ for the round flight.
It's easy to get a VISA if you're from certain nations, not so easy if you are from certain other nations.
yeah i want to come back alive and with no gun wounds
You have to buy your Visa?
Were people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen really travelling to the US in such droves as to have such a profound effect on the US tourism industry? Common sense says no
Perception is to blame I guess
Maybe including Saudi Arabia, India, Qatar, Bahrain, Indonesia, etc will give you the correct figure.
Those countries are not banned
well the rest of the world decided that the US was just too unfriendly and decided to cut back on their tourism. Donald Trump is deeply disliked across much of the world
Not to mention that several countries have issued travel advisories to tourists visiting the US that interactions with police can be extremely dangerous - particularly for people of color.
I prefer this kind of short informative video rather than people speaking too many facts that its hard to remember
They are also in Europe.
Okay
What! I believe the flag in 0:23 is vietnamese
Here they come Tuvalu
Strange map of Europe...
I only need 1000$ just to make a round flight from dubai to US.
well unfortunately now China is experiencing consumption downgrade so maybe they won't account for a quarter of the travelers. In the meantime, I noticed undeniable increase of Indian tourists in the US and Europe, especially in the past 2 years. So I guess maybe India is going to the biggest traveling people by 2030.
No, they will grow but still, China is far wealthyer
I feel like Indian immigration/not tourism to the US and Europe has been growing exponentially in the last 2 years.
New York last year had 63 million visitors .
Sam DeLuca good for you
Yeah that's where most tourists to the US go. They look ad adverts in Times square, go up the Empire State and realise the NY skyline looks shit without the Empire State, then they eat a pretzel and then they go home
SamuriLemonX18 LOL you just described my visit to NY with terrifying accuracy. Fuck you 😂
❤❤❤❤ Hola 🥰buen trabajo🙌 Amazing job 😍super LIKE 👍🏻Gracias por compartir 🙏Suerte 🫶🏼🙏🫶🏼
Most of that Chinese travel money is for business of course
Jonathan Allen what u talking about ? 100 million Chinese people going abroad for business lol what kind of business u can offer to 100 million people each year lol . It's luxury shopping trip lol
VISIT
Visit Mexico
!!! SO DISSAPPOINTED!!!
The content of the speak is so useful.
However, why the official channel like @THE ECONOMIST had a really serious mistake about the national flag of VIETNAM AND CHINA. VIETNAM & CHINA are different and the national flag is one of the country's signature too. Although we have some similarities details on the flag, it's so disappointed when see the vietnamese flag picture and then hear that mentioned the chinese one.
I hope that the admin can see my comments and make adjustments. Just imagine we present the UK's flag and mention it's the australian one. Could you feel easy about this?
Thanks
Learn Mandarin.
Marilyn Avila or they can learn English
yep
Thezebraherd they don't need to if they don't need you financially.
是的哈哈
Zhao Wei Why did you learn English then?
That country America full of other countries 🤔
So the Chinese visit Thailand (staying in Asia), Americans visit Mexico (staying in north America) but Europeans explicitly stay in Europe?
yes
Brazil's middle class isn't doing that well
They're doing better than the majority of Brazilians.
I thought the title said terrorism
Silly me
Thank god, I have visa-free access to 178 countries with my passport. 👌🏻
Aime si t'écoutes ça en anglais
Ui
When I had visited thailand All I seen are chinese...everywhere 😐
Are you sure that they weren't Thai?
I fight for food
What's wrong?
USA are burning and are horribly hot. Why on earth would people go there ? Europe is a lot more interesting place to visit.
Rising temperatures are global...
Having two eyebrows is superior to having one, yet we have your avatar. Guessing you're French...Texas is bigger than France is. Can you not grasp the scale of the US, and that many regions are not hot?
0:03 the number of people going on holiday has soared. 去度假的人数猛增。

0:30 nationality n. 国籍；
0:40 The number of Indian travelers is on the up with countries such as Jordan, Australia and Israel making It easier for Indians to get visas. 印度游客的数量正在上升，约旦、澳大利亚和以色列等国家使印度人更容易获得签证。

Nice video. Better than the political and social videos that the economist likes to do

I will never visit America, not interested to be interviewed for hours on end, denied holiday visa, subject to prejudice and open racism. No thanks I'll spend my money elsewhere
Why go to the USA anyway. It's National Parks are certainly worth a visit but overall it's just Europe, but louder.
lol
Aaand fatter
and less history.
and less friendly
Ron Maple very different?

Okay people you know the drill! *Who are the worst tourists?!*
_only submissions with examples._
Dear Mr. _-isaiah-__ deringer;_ Asians
Chinese tourists
+Samir Sehgal there's 3 billion of us. Please be specific.
It's a debate between American and Chinese tourists.
Both worst and best are Asians. Best: Japanese, worst: Chinese.
😃😃
The Economist showing its true colours again; first promoting an Islamic state with the last advertisement for Saudi Arabia followed by this drivel.
The Economist pretends to make a statement about tourism but of course ends it with a dig at the USA stating that the 4% decline is due to the travel ban, more visa checks and a stronger US dollar. Obama's travel ban, instigated by Trump is focused on a small group of relatively poor, Islamic countries known for extremism; these countries account for a tiny fraction of tourism dollars yet the Economist put this at the top of the list. Pathetic.
To enter the USA, people from many countries require a visa; this has always been the case and checking the visas is a routine role of border/immigration security so to suggest that there are "more" visa checks is a very disingenuous action by the Economist.
Surprise, surprise, the USA economy is doing well and the dollar is stronger. This is probably the only real reason that the USA tourism activity is down 4%; a trip to Disneyland costs more this year than last.
The Economist has truly lost its focus. So sad.
keep living in your 'Murrica world pal. Much of the world hates Donald Trump and perceives the US to be an unfriendly nation full of crazies. THATs why tourism is dropping. You think if you have an arrogant, bombastic ignoramus as a leader, who is openly hostile to others, that even if their own countries aren't banned from going to the US, people will not be put off? There are so many other/better places to visit.
Then why didn't the Economist simply state your version of the facts? Also don't jump to conclusions; I was addressing what I consider to be a deliberate and disingenuous move by the Economist. You assume any one that comments on this is by default a fan of everything USA. Not the case.
A good question but for most people, trade and tourism are not the same. Trumps trade issues are business/industry related based on comparing trade of goods and services between countries. The tourist trade is a different issue; I'm sure that no country has any issue with masses of Chinese tourists spending lots of cash. It would be my bet that the majority of the Chinese people could not care less about trade wars. I guess we will have to wait and see.
The Saudis are very different; the recent spat with Canada is escalating into a very serious trade and business war. Cancellation of contracts, withdrawal of funding for projects, recalling students studying in Canadian Universities. A directive from a conservative and harsh government will have immediate impact on all business relations. Canada really screwed-up very badly.
They're simply stating facts, you moron. Go crawl back into your neanderthal hole.
Dmn8719 lol, FACTS? THOSE ARE SOME BIAS FACT YOU MORON MONGREL
ISLAMIC COUNTRY LIKE WHAT? INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA ARE MAJORITY MUSLIM, YET THEY STILL CAN'T VISIT AMERICA, WHY ARE U SO HARD TO THINK LIKE THAT?
thank you Trump
Knowing Trump, he'll probably pass the blame for this!
Trump's surely making America 'grate'

Thailand is overrated
YouCan'tAlwaysGet WhatYouWant Yes but good for those who are looking for sex.
@@MrSivansuresh If you're White and rich then it's a must! If you're black then it'll be a huge failure. Same goes for other Asian countries.
@@jesuschrist1650 If you are an Indian then.....stay back in India.
Lol.
Every nation which receives many tourists is overrated. Why? Because in response to their tourism surplus, a bunch of cottage, tourist specific industries emerge and strip the ability to have a genuine, immersive experience as an outsider. You get funneled through their tourism industry in France, US, Australia, Japan, UK, Spain, Italy, Germany etc,etc and it fucking blows for the most part. You have to go obscure to have real moments...Albania, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Bolivia etc.
Travel Bans on people from Muslim countries? Last time I checked, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were not on the travel ban list. Let's not use the Islamophobe label against the Trump admin (I'm not defending him), but saying "travel bans against muslim countries" is a bit far-fetched.
Name one thing any tourist could possibly want to see or do in the US.
shoot up a building maybe? The country is known around the world for lots of guns.
Walt Disney World
Florida Keys
New York City
Los Angeles
Las Vegas
The North Carolina Outer Banks
Cape Cod

Niagara Falls
Miami Beach

LngVly22
LoL. Never been out of the country, huh?
LngVly22
LoL. Now I know you're just making shit up when you compare the culture and cleaniness of say Paris, Tokyo, or Beijing to a shithole like Los Angeles.
Some things have to be set clear. There is at least one beautiful place to visit per state in the US, and this is coming from a Mexican. And second, there is not a single beach in the US that can compare to the average Mexican beach. And the cultural gap is huge.The US has basically no traditions, food, and very little history. The landscape in both countries is equally impressive. I don’t really see the inferiority of Mexico as a tourist destination. Don’t compare these two countries. Both are great in their own way.
Lol not an economist video without a little US bashing in the end but casually fails to mention that US is still the 2nd most visited country in the world by tourists. The world needs USA to survive and not the other way around.
They come to Brazil and won't leave. At least in my city
0:23 That's the flag of Vietnam. Please respect!!!!
It's getting bit too much here in Europe. And by bit too much I mean absolutely ridiculous, it's not sustainable.
USA tourism down by 4%
jim stark It’s still the 2nd most visited country in the world and the only reason it’s not first is because France counts people moving from north europe to south and vice versa as tourist.
France forever first in tourism.
The cryptocurrency has charted a 10-fold rally in the past 11 months, offering a significantly higher return than gold amid the massive inflation-boosting monetary and fiscal stimulus delivered by authorities worldwide to counter the coronavirus-induced economic slowdown. The precious metal reached a record high of $56.000 in February 2021 and has been trending higher ever since. I invested 6BTC and I have been earning 2BTC weekly.

Stronger Dollar she said... guys I'm gonna go and laugh in that corner for a while.
Why? Are you not aware of that fact, or do you simply have no idea what that means with regards to its impact on tourism?
"longest bullrun in the history of the US"
economy and GDP are rising, unemployment going down. but yeah, trump's the bad guy
The US is dealing with the Trump Slump. 💯
France is NOT the most "visited" country. That's just manipulation of statistics. More than 60% of the visitors to France are just passing by: from northern Europe to southern Europe, from eastern Europe to western Europe, vice versa... A country with the ugliest 'landmark': unfinished scaffolding called 'Eiffel'.
Spartan You need to keep those saltiness levels in check
So salty my eyes hurt.
So when they make a stop in France, they aren't visiting? Do you need me to post a dictionary definition of the word "visit"?
Dont know about the entire France, but Paris is soooo overrated & the people are rude. London is better
