About This Statistic
International outbound tourists are departures by residents from their usual country to another country for a purpose other than paid work in the destination. The measure counts trips rather than unique travelers.
The 2019 reference year is used because it offers substantially broader same-year coverage than later pandemic-affected releases in this series. Every imported value is an explicitly published 2019 observation.
Methodology
World Bank indicator ST.INT.DPRT from UN Tourism's Yearbook and Compendium. The measure counts outbound departures, not distinct people. Only non-null 2019 country observations are used; aggregates and missing values are excluded and no interpolation is performed.
