As part of a series of annual reports which analyse trends in international tourism, this volume focuses on regional and subregional tourism flows and earnings in 2003 in the Americas as a whole, and by individual country. It looks at arrivals, tourism accommodation, outbound tourism, receipts and expenditure for international tourism.

The exponential growth in international tourism arrivals seen over recent decades wouldn't have been possible without the innovation and expansion of the air transport industry, which today accounts for more than half of cross-border tourist arrivals worldwide. Over the next twenty years, growth in international arrivals is forecasted at 3.3% annually. However, for this to happen, policy makers, Official Tourism Organizations (OTOs), airlines, airports and tourism service providers will have to develop and intensify their relations. This report outlines how such partnerships are taking shape around the world. The report explores some of the following areas: •Where UNWTO stands on aviation policy today •Which comes first: capacity growth or route demand? •Why 'buying' demand doesn't always work •How the low cost revolution has changed tourism in Europe and beyond •How airlines have fuelled the growth of tourism in the Middle East •How airports, airlines and destinations can work together in areas as diverse as promotion, infrastructure development or simply cutting delays The fifth in the series of AM Reports, this "Global Report on Aviation" was published by UNWTO in collaboration with ASM (a division of UBM Live), and Everis Tourism. UNWTO would like to thank all Affiliate Members and other selected partners who contributed to this report.

This paper prepared by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in collaboration with its Affiliate Member CEGOS and benefitting from International Labour Organization (ILO) contributions within the framework of the 9th Meeting of Tourism Ministers of the G20, presents the emerging realities resulting from the transformations affecting the current and future of work in tourism. It aims to provide recommendations to G20 countries to position tourism in the G20 Agenda, adapt the future of work to new realities and ensure their alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda."
