World tourism got off to a surprisingly sound start in the first four months of 2008, although uncertainty over the global economic situation is affecting consumer confidence and could hurt tourism demand.
Whatever be the case, the year 2007 remained a good year for tourism, as international tourist arrivals reached 903 million, up 6.6 per cent on 2006, with France holding onto its first position ahead of Spain and the US, the World Tourism Organization data released some time back shows.
Sadly, however, out of the 50 most visited countries, India ranked 42nd, with only 5 million international tourist arrivals last year.
