Previous Year Question

The Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) was released by the World Economic Forum.

The TTCI was designed to assess the factors and policies that enable the competitiveness and sustainable development of the Travel and Tourism sector across different countries.

It covered several tourism-related dimensions, including—

Business Environment, Safety and Security, Health and Hygiene, Human Resources, ICT Readiness, International Openness, Price Competitiveness, Transport Infrastructure, and Natural and Cultural Resources.

The WEF began publishing the TTCI series in 2007. The Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2019, relevant to the period of the question, was also released by the World Economic Forum.

Current Status

The TTCI is no longer published under its old name.

The World Economic Forum evolved it into the Travel & Tourism Development Index (TTDI). The TTDI was first introduced in 2022 as the 2021 edition.

The latest available edition is TTDI 2024, released by the World Economic Forum on 21 May 2024. It is a direct evolution of the TTCI and places broader emphasis on the sustainable and resilient development of the tourism sector.

Thus—

Old name → TTCI
Current name → TTDI
Publisher of both → World Economic Forum
