Inbound and outbound tourism in the European Union - Issue number 5/2006 - Products Statistics in Focus

This volume of 'Statistics in Focus' deals with inbound and outbound tourism in the European Union, EFTA and Candidate countries. It examines some major aspects of this phenomenon country by country, especially the number of inbound and outbound nights and arrivals, the main holiday periods and the favourite destinations of outbound tourists from the EU countries. All information presented in this volume of Statistics in Focus will soon be complemented by two new Eurostat publications, entitled 'Pocketbook on Tourism' and 'Panorama on Tourism'. These two upcoming publications cover detailed information available in Eurostat's free dissemination database. This information is presented in form of tables, graphs and analytical texts. Both publications cover data for a longer period. The 'Pocketbook' is written and designed for the broad public, while the 'Panorama' is intended for the specialised user. The 'Panorama' publication will also include a CD-Rom containing most of the data in Eurostat's database on tourism and some general economic information related to tourism for the EU-25, EFTA and Candidate countries.
