Tourism growth set to increase - The National

The number of tourists visiting the Middle East is expected to grow by up to 5 per cent this year, following an 8 per cent decline last year, a new report issued yesterday showed.

The forecast from the UN World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) includes a prediction that the number of international tourist arrivals worldwide will reach one billion this year.

"The Middle East is forecast to start to recover part of its losses from 2011," the UNWTO said. It is projecting flat to 5 per cent tourism growth for the region.
