UNWTO prepares for next ‘Barometer’ edition

UNWTO has now started the preparation of the forthcoming issue of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer. The organization very much appreciates the commitment of tourism operators to participate in the UNWTO Panel of Tourism Experts and hopes to count again on the sector’s valuable cooperation.
UNWTO would like to ask readers to please complete the attached regular questionnaire regarding the evaluation of tourism performance in the last four months as well as in the same upcoming period of time.

The response to the questionnaire will of course be confidential. Reference to the participation of your organisation or company will only be made generally. As a token of appreciation for your cooperation you will usually receive a complimentary copy of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer by email. See for further information and sample copies of the previous issues <mkt.unwto.org/barometer>

Given the short term perspective of the report, UNWTO’s Barometer team would very much appreciate it if you could send your reply as soon as possible, and by 31 August at the latest, preferably by email, to <barom> or by fax to (+34) 91 567 82 17 / 91 571 37 33. If you have any question concerning the questionnaire or the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, please contact Mr. Michel Julián at tel. (+34) 91 567 81 96 or at the above email address or fax number.
