ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 3 BRAZTOA YEARBOOK 2014 EDITORIAL It is well known that challenges make us grow, sharpen our perceptions, and require us to use more of our creativity. 2014 was a challenging year, and, therefore, provided rich experiences to all of us in the travel market, as well as in other areas. Early in the year, we worked with all eyes on Brazil due to the World Cup and the elections. However, we were faced with customers showing atypical, fearful behavior, because of political uncertainty and economic instability. We used our know-how and market expertise to attract the discouraged tourists, and showed them that there were too excellent travel opportunities in periods not yet explored by them. We started in 2015 confirming that, even during the crisis, people do not stop traveling. What actually changes is the profile of the tours, which end up being customized to fit each person’s financial possibilities. The higher value of the US dollar, a trend that started in 2014 and is still true today, is a good example of that. Many customers who traditionally travel abroad have been choosing to explore some of the beautiful Brazilian destinations. Other travelers changed their itinerary to prioritize Europe, which currently has a more stable and favorable currency, compared to the US dollar. Our many maneuvers enabled us to end 2014 with a higher growth rate than the Brazilian GDP, which had a 0.1% increase. In short, this scenario leads to 2015, a year in which operators will make every effort to use innovation, creativity, better relationships with the distribution network and the consumer, to achieve positive reSouthts for everyone involved in the tourism production chain. “Overcoming,” “hands-on”, and “optimism” are our watchwords.

Therefore, its actions focus on developing, promoting, and supporting such market. Among our activities, we highlight the following: THE BIGGEST TRAVEL SALES EVENT IN BRAZIL Turismo Week is an integrated event involving members, suppliers (hotel chains, airlines, among others) and destinations, with the purpose of providing the market, for a limited time, promotional prices for travel packages in Brazil and abroad on the off-season dates available throughout the year. This event takes place at least twice a year. For 2015, in addition to the travel sales events for multiple destinations, we will have theme weeks dedicated to specific destinations or segments. The initiative has the website www.turismoweek. com.br, where special offers are published, a Facebook fan page with approximately 50,000 followers, and an advertising campaign aimed at trade and final customer, funded by sponsors and participating members. BRAZTOA is a pioneer in implementing sustainability into its agencies and the production chain of leisure tourism. The concept is a vital part of its activities and projects, and BRAZTOA promotes trainings, workshops, and reference publications to demonstrate its benefits and show companies how they can incorporate sustainability to their management. With the most important award in the country for sustainable tourism it recognizes and gives visibility to the best initiatives of the industry. The BRAZTOA Sustainability Program is a partnership with Travelife (the European requirements were customized to the Brazilian tour operators and the local context) and is approved by the Global Partnership for Sustainable Tourism, an international member organization of the United Nations. 8 Winners of the 3rd BRAZTOA Award for Sustainability TOP Sustainability: PARQUE DOS SONHOS FARM RESORT HOTEL BRAZTOA Associates: 1st CVC BRASIL 2nd AMBIENTAL 3rd MGM OPERADORA 2nd ATIVA RAFTING E AVENTURA 3rd MAIOBA TURISMO 2nd SOFITEL GUARUJÁ JEQUITIMAR 3rd MABU THERMAS GRAND RESORT 2nd CHÃ DE JARDIM COMMUNITY 3rd AOKA 2nd SEBRAE PIAUÍ 3rd CITY OF CAIRU TOURISM BUREAU Tour operators: 1st VENTO SUL TURISMO Accommodation facilities: 1 st PARQUE DOS SONHOS FARM RESORT HOTEL Trade partners: 1st AVENTURAS PARK Institutional partners: 1 st COSTAS DOS CORAIS CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU 9 BRAZTOA YEARBOOK 2014 BRAZTOA The initiatives of the BRAZTOA Sustainability Program are made possible thanks to our valuable partners, who recognized the importance of sustainability for society and believed in BRAZTOA and its members’ commitment and efficiency. SPONSORS INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS MEDIA CONSULTANCY Consultoria em Sustentabilidade SUPPORT LOCAL SUPPORT FOR THE 3RD BRAZTOA SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM Since 1990, BRAZTOA has been holding events for tour operators that are 100% focused on business, training, and trends. Such activities are essential to the professionals of the industry. These are business trips in which BRAZTOA connects its members to destinations and strategic suppliers worldwide in order to expand, diversify, and improve the range of travel offers. Two big events take place in São Paulo, with international reach: in the first half of each year, in partnership with WTM Latin America, and in the second half, in partnership with ABAV. Meetings have been held in Portugal, Argentina, Canada, Las Vegas, Catalonia, Uruguay, Belgium, and London, and there will be meetings in Thailand, Colombia, and Fort Lauderdale in 2015. Two regional meetings occur at ECB Rio de Janeiro and ECB Porto Alegre. 10 MEMBERS The organization has 91 members and it is growing consistently towards becoming highly representative in the different markets of the country.

Agencies include all legally established companies in the country specialized in providing travel service operations, such as trips and tours, organization and execution of programs, routes, itineraries, inbound services, transfers, and assistance to travelers. Representatives are corporations legally established in Brazil that act as representatives to foreign travel service companies; and Collaborators are also companies legally established in our country that promote and/or market travel products and services. The Guests category is the newest, and it includes companies from different travel sectors that have been invited to join the organization through a referral by an associate. PRODUCTION CHAIN OF LEISURE TOURISM The production chain involved in tourism is very complex and, according to the World Tourism Organization, impacts and is impacted by 52 economic sectors. This entanglement is made up of a series of integrated operations carried out by the companies of these different sectors, with a high level of dependency between the parties and the common goal of promoting and supporting domestic and international tourism. The vital role of the tour operators in the production chain Tour operators play a vital role in the tourism production chain due to their basic initiatives that move and conduct the entire chain; whether by their relationship with the SUPPLIER NETWORK to build the packages, or by the DISTRIBUTION of such packages by their branches or other outlets.

The global economic scenario in the year under review determined the flow of money and goods between nations and influenced the travel and tourism market. Chart 1 summarizes the reSouthts and expectations of the main global economic blocks, in which there is 3.3% increase in global wealth. Emerging countries outstand with a strong growth, 4.4% , and China, 7.4%. The United States led the growth of developed nations, with an estimated performance of 1.8%, according to the International Monetary Fund.

The risk of deflation in developed countries continued, while inflation had a slight advance in developing countries. The Chinese economy continued to slow down with a consequent reduction in the global demand for goods and services. The slow recovery of the Eurozone economies remained, and the Euro was devalued against the US dollar. The increased conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe also affected the world trade. 1 Except Brazil, that grew only 0.1% in 2014. 2 World Economic Situation and Prospect – 2015 , United Nations,New York, 2015. 14 The close relationship between the dynamics of the world economies and the travel market is evident, especially in the “leisure” segment, which depends greatly on employment and income available to families for travelling. In turn, international travel, in the same period, has kept its growth rate, according to the UNWTO3. International tourist arrivals reached 1,138 million in 2014, an increase of 4.7% over the previous year, according to the data gathered by the institution.

When it comes to passengers transported by airlines in 2014, IATA - International Air Transport Association has recently declared that the low oil prices and more routes available have benefit consumers with moderate airfares, boosting the growth of the sector.4 3 United Nations World Travel Organization. 15 BRAZTOA YEARBOOK 2014 ECONOMIC SCENARIO AND TOURISM INDUSTRY IN 2014 The economic reSouthts reported by the IATA members for the year in question are shown in Box 1.

The International Air Transport Association reinforces the idea that the world economic development represents a significant boost in air transport, since more connections between cities allows the flow of goods, people, capital, technology, and ideas to generate broader economic benefits and reduce air transport costs. Additionally, economists specialized in tourism claim that the overall behavior of the economy influences travel decisions, especially for families5 (elastic demand), but also public and private companies, who base their decisions on the necessary investment for their economic activity or services provided to their specific demands (customers). 4 During periods of crisis, trips can be postponed. 16 In the domestic perspective, 2014 had two major events that affected the social, political and economic scenarios in Brazil. First, hosting the World Cup, which generated high expectations to all economic agents. Second, federal and state elections in the country, a moment of increased debate, with political and economic uncertainties surrounding the future of the nation. In the sports arena, the reSouthts of the event were positive, that is, soccer games and Brazilian and foreign supporters were the life of the party. Air travel in the country during the period (June and July/2014) had a 3.22% increase in revenue per mile, while the international market showed a 5.26% growth. The final weighted average of the World Cup was a demand growth of 3.69% in air transport. To BRAZTOA tour operators, according to partial data collected by Datatur, the first semester was very promising in terms of sales and exceeded expectations for the period. However, during the World Cup itself, domestic and international leisure travels showed poor performance compared to the same period of the previous year. The survey conducted by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation for the first half of 2014 showed that tourism companies sales was 11.1% (INCREASE?) compared to the same period in the previous year, with emphasis on accommodations, inbound tourism, air transport, and parks and attractions. “Tour operators were frustrated, especially between April and June/2014, because sales did not increase as predicted. Additionally, the reduced demand for domestic destinations and the stable demand for international destinations led to layoffs after the first quarter of the year. In the version of the survey carried out by FGV in July/2014, the investments previously made by the companies, the stronger international demand, and the favorable exchange rate were considered the most important factors that contributed to sales expansion. On the other hand, services contracted directly over the internet, higher financial costs, and excessive bureaucracy were considered important reasons that discouraged the boost of the business” (BDET, JUL – 2014). 17 BRAZTOA YEARBOOK 2014 ECONOMIC SCENARIO AND TOURISM INDUSTRY IN 2014 CHART 3 – EVOLUTION OF THE TOUR OPERATORS REVENUE – FIRST QUARTER/09 TO SECOND QUARTER/14.

Corporate investments (gross formation of fixed capital) plummeted from 3% to (-) 2.6% in the same period. Combined, the aggregate demand (household consumption, government spending, business investment and exports) dropped 2.16% during that half5. The second timely event under consideration, represented by the period between July and December/2014 was the fierce presidential race, in addition to the election of the remaining major political positions (Governors, Senators, Federal and State Representatives). Despite the terrible defeat of the 5 Economic Indicators, IBGE Foundation, 2015. 18 REVENUE 2º quarter/14 1º quarter/14 4º quarter/13 3º quarter/13 2º quarter/13 1º quarter/13 4º quarter/12 3º quarter/12 2º quarter/12 1º quarter/12 4º quarter/11 3º quarter/11 2º quarter/11 1º quarter/11 4º quarter/10 3º quarter/10 2º quarter/10 1º quarter/10 4º quarter/09 2º quarter/09 3º quarter/09 -98 -98 1º quarter/09 -100 PRICE Brazilian national team in World Cup, in the beginning of the second semester there was hope for economic recovery in the last few months of the year that could lead to a reduced, but positive growth. The Brazilian Central Bank FOCUS survey, published on July 27th of that year, indicated an expected GDP annual growth of 0.9% and an exchange rate of 2.35 BRL to 1.00 USD, in addition to an interest rate (SELIC) of 11.00% per year, and an estimated inflation rate of 6.41%, very close to the targets of the Federal Government. This scenario did not entirely come true, that is, the pressure on prices increased, and the exchange rate rocketed in the second half, reaching 2.65 BRL to 1.00 USD by the end of the year, which increased costs to Brazilian travelers looking for international destinations. On the other hand, the currency devaluation boosted the demand for domestic travel. Chart 4 shows the econometric trend of the exchange rate and the devaluation of the Brazilian currency, a fact that is still true today. We do know that stimulus to exports, on one hand, and operating costs of importing machinery, equipment, and other assets essential to the country’s industrial activity, on the other hand, need to be balanced in order to avoid an imbalance in current transactions and balance of payments.

During the same period, air travel passengers had an increased flow of 7.08% between July and December/2014 over the previous year, despite the reduced demand for leisure travel in the same period (estimated at 5.13%), which greatly affected the tour operators’ businesses. Leisure travel is the main focus of this travel services segment, according to the respondents of the qualitative survey of this past January. (data from whom?) The explanation for the growth in air transport is correlated with the performance of other agents, such as private and public corporate demand (which grew 9.2% and 27%, respectively), and inbound foreign demand that uses the services of local airlines to reach domestic destinations. The deteriorating economic scenario in the period also contributed to the reduction of leisure travelers in the second half. The drop in actual wages (corroded by escalating inflation), the higher in6 Average during this period. 7 October/2014. terest rates, especially in consumer credit (credit card and overdraft protection), and the poor performance of economic sectors that threatened employment and income, influenced travel decisions of Brazilians. In 2013, the ‘intention to travel’ of Brazilians, in the period in question, was 32.5%6, dropping to 31.8% in 2014 The Tourism Economic Performance Newsletter, published by the FGV7, revealed: “The revenue for the third quarter of 2014, compared to the same period of 2013, recorded an average variation of 3.7% for travel services”. “The highest percentage growth in revenue was found in accommodations and inbound tourism while the lowest were found in parks, tourist attractions, and tour operators,” where the variation was 0.5%. 19 BRAZTOA YEARBOOK 2014 ECONOMIC SCENARIO AND TOURISM INDUSTRY IN 2014 CHART 5 – REVENUE COMPARISON: THIRD QUARTER 2014 AND THIRD QUARTER 2013 7,2 6,6 5,0 3,7 2,1 CONSOLIDATED ACCOMODATION INBOUND TOURISM TRAVEL AIR AGENCIES TRANSPORTATION 1,9 EVENTS AGENCIES 0,8 PARKS AND ATRACTIVES 0,5 TOUR OPERATORS Source: FGV e MTur The survey also revealed that only 24.5% of travel entrepreneurs considered 2014 a positive year with business expansion. Previous investments made by the companies, the stronger international demand, and more publicity about attractions and tours were considered contributing factors to the increase of the operators’ businesses. On the other hand, higher financial costs were identified as an important reason that discouraged sales expansion. We ended the year in question with the Brazilian GDP reaching 5,52 trillion BRL in nominal terms and actual growth of 0.1%, according to IBGE (Chart 6). As of 2011, it is possible to notice a retraction trend in these indicators. This proves that the model used for consumption financing (through low-interest rates and tax exemption) to ensure production and national growth is saturated. 20 CHART 6 – EVOLUTION OF THE GDP AND GDP PER CAPITA – 2000 TO 2014 9 8 4.4 7 6.5 6 6.0 5.7 5.0 5 4 3 4.8 4.4 4.3 3.1 2.8 2 1 3.1 3.9 3.9 2.8 2.8 1.9 1.7 1.3 4.0 2.7 1.8 1.2 1.8 0.8 0.1 0 -0.1 -0.1 -0.2 -0.7 -1 -1.3 GDP 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 -2 GDP PER CAPITA Source: IBGE Foundation, 2014. “The economic reSouthts that year reSouthted from the 0.2% increase in the value added and tax decline (-0.3%). In this comparison, Agribusiness (0.4%) and Services (0.7%) have grown while Manufacturing has shrunk (-1.2%). The GDP per capita was 27,229 BRL, down (-0.7%) by volume compared to 2013.” (IBGE Foundation). The investment rate to the GDP was 19.7% and savings 15.8%, corroborating the statement that 2014 represented a cyclical time of great economic weakness. Although the reduced growth of the Brazilian economy may have influenced economic agents (families, companies, and government) in their strategic decisions and repositioning of the market, the following reSouthts reflect a moderate maintenance of the travel and tourism industry. The aggregate monetary travel demand by the private sector (companies) increased 9.2%; the public sector spent 25.88% more on tickets and accommodations; international inbound tourism had a 29.79% increase; and families reduced their expenditures on air travel by 14.35%, resulting in a Laspeyres index of 1.1126 for travel and tourism in Brazil in 2014. The economic analysis also indicates that price, exchange rate, and interest increases, in addition to the confidence businesses and consumers expressed regarding the economic policies adopted until the second half of 2014, were obstacles to the market sales growth of goods and services, among which we highlight travel and tourism in Brazil. 21 BRAZTOA YEARBOOK 2014 MARKET IN NUMBERS Descriptive Report of the BRAZTOA Survey Results. The results presented in this report8 were collected during the focus group held in March/2015 with BRAZTOA associates, complementing the data collected by the Datatur questionnaires, a quantitative collection study. It is important to point out that the information is designed to represent the universe of the associates, not the operators market, and the participation in the survey is voluntary, which means it is not a sample study with a probabilistic sample9. The data referring to inbound international are consolidated with the outbound domestic. 8 The variations showed by the charts refer to the comparison between 2014 and 2013. 9 Comments by the constultant Fabrizio Caritatos, coordinator of the Datatur Survey. 22 1. REVENUE OF THE ASSOCIATED COMPANIES The gross earnings of the BRAZTOA associated companies in 2014 were 11.87 billion BRL, which represents 6.01 million departures. The nominal revenue growth was 6.65%, and the increase in boarding was 1.86%.

Exactly in the second half which is more relevant in the international segment, in which most associated companies operate”, says Fabrizio Caritatos, consultant. The World Cup and the elections turned out to be inhibiting factors for travel, contrary to analysts’ expectations. Considering the revenue per associate category, tour operators increased their revenue by 6.54% while collaborators reached a 10.63% growth.

The United States lead the ranking (US 1,4 trillion) followed by China (US 850,1 billion).

The industry employs directly about 3 million people in hotels, air companies, tourism agencies and other types of passenger transportation, restaurants and leisure. It is expected that in 2023 the industry will account for 10,6 million of direct and indirect jobs, representing 9.5% of the total employment. Source: Economic conSouthtancy of the Ministry of Tourism 24 THE IMPACT OF OPERATORS ON DOMESTIC TOURISM PRODUCTIVE CHAIN IN 2014 (include the indicator) The operators, fostering the domestic tourism, embarked more than four million tourists inside Brazil (including inbound international). It is important to mention that these tourists consumed products and services not included in their packages, such as food, transportation, extra tours, visits to parks, bars and purchase of gifts and crafts, helping in the generation of jobs and income in those destinations. We can estimate the financial impact generated by operators considering the average daily expenditure of the tourist (those not included in the packages) in the destination multiplying the average number of days by the number of domestic embarks in the year. For 2014, we reach the important figure of 3m78 BRL for this indicator. If we sum the value of packages sold by operators with the value of the extra expenses previously mentioned, we see that Braztoa domestic embarks generated 9,8 billion BRL to the country’s economy in 2014. Considering that the average value used by the national survey is true to all the regions, we have the following regional impact: BRAZTOA TOTAL IMPACT IN THE PRODUCTIVE CHAIN BY REGION 1,3 BI 489 MI SOUTH BRAZTOA - 796 MI EXTRAS - 536 MI 1,6 BI SOUTHEAST BRAZIL 9,8 BI BRAZTOA - 1,0 BI EXTRAS - 621 MI BRAZTOA - 6 BI EXTRAS - 3,8 BI NORTHEAST BRAZTOA - 3,9 BI EXTRAS - 2,4 BI MIDDLE WEST AND NORTH 6,3 BI BRAZTOA - 308 MI EXTRAS - 181 MI Obs: for the extras, we consider 4,5 days of trip, and a daily spend of R$ 205,00 for brazilian tourist and us$ 71,00 for the foreigner, and the tourists numbver is the reported in this research, 4.111.000.

The main sales outlets were, in addition to travel agents (53%), branches or franchises (41%), and internet, with 6% of the sales. Cash payment was used by 23% of customers, which means that 77% of purchases involved financing. The number of monthly instalments was one to four in 21% of cases, and five or more instalments in 79% of cases.

The use of monthly payments with third-party financing (banks, operators) confirms the importance of the interests’ policy adopted by the country, as well as its influence on the purchase decision. The preference for packages with duration between five and nine days was predominant (52%), followed by trips lasting more than 10 days (31%). Purchases made three months in advance were the case for 56% of customers, while 27% bought their travel packages with more advance (three to six months). The average prices of packages sold in 2014 for domestic and outbound international markets were 1,460.00 BRL and 2,860.00 BRL, respectively, indicating a nominal increase of 3.55% and 6.32% compared to 2013.

Gradually, operators started to compete in price offering more options to consumers; Some operators started to diversify by breaking down their products: selling only flights, only accommodations, only tours and transfers, in addition to more diverse and complete packages, in order to better meet customers demands; The internet channel begins to appear as a form of direct sales to the self-service audience, this is a market trend. Another important point to understand is that in 2014, consumers with lower purchase power looked for tourism products that they could afford and with this, they generated a slight down trading, that is, cheaper hotels or stop flights, shaping the package price not to pay more. Somehow, this explains the low increase in prices if compared to the previous year. 28 2.1. DOMESTIC DESTINATIONS When it comes to domestic destinations sold, the Northeast stands out as the top travel destination through the associated operators, followed by the Southeast. Combined, they account for 81.07% of the demand. It is important to realize that, in number of departures, the Northeast receives 3.95 times more than the Southeast and 4.58 times more than the third place (South) in the 2014 ranking.

TYPE OF PRODUCT SOLD In this edition of the BRAZTOA annual report, marketed products will be presented on a consolidated basis, that is, the domestic and international markets are aggregated and represent the reSouthts obtained by the BRAZTOA associates. The projected revenue for the product “air + land” was 6.41 billion BRL, or 6.28% higher than the previous year, indicating zero actual growth. The product “land only” grew 2.88%, which means an actual loss estimated at 3.31%. The big surprise was the product “sea”, which had a total revenue increase of 19.61%, meaning actual growth of 12.40%. According to respondents in the focus group, “Brazilians are starting to like cruises; not only domestic, but also international cruises”. In this context, the complete package, “air + land” represented 56% of the gross income, followed by “land”, with 25%, and “sea” (with or without air transfer) with 16%, making up 97% of the total revenue in the 2014 season.

There are also other important stops, often sought after by travelers, such as Salvador (BA), Búzios (RJ), Ilhabela (SP) and Ilhéus (BA). Cruises benefit their destinations in different aspects: by increasing the number of visitors in the cities, by stimulating local and surrounding economies, creating jobs, stimulating cash inflow and promoting the destination in national and international levels11.” 11 Getúlio Vargas Foundation and ABREMAR. 35 BRAZTOA YEARBOOK 2014 MARKET IN NUMBERS 6. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS The service sector has been boosted since the year 2000 by credit stimulus and the entrance of many people in the marketplace. Recently, this picture started to change. The higher demand for labor in the service sector pushed salaries up. Not to lose workers to the service sector, the industry had no options but to increase salaries. The problem is that, in general, the industry is subject to external competition, limiting its capacity to repass cost increases to prices, pushing profit margins down. The industry is keeping the same growth rate since 2007, oscillating (with a slight trend to fall) in the same production level. The weak performance of the economy in general was transferred to the service sector. In this context, 2014 was a tough year for the Brazilian economy that remained almost stagnated with a 0.1% growth. Due to these difficulties, the Central Bank started a new tightening cycle in the interest rate to, in their words, do whatever possible to bring inflation back to the target. Higher inflation reduces the consumer’s purchase power, reducing the companies’ profits. The increase in interest rates, in turn, slowdowns the economic activity also reducing the companies’ profits. In the tax sphere, the combination of expenditure cuts and increase in taxes will bring reduce even more the companies’ profits. In spite of the dynamism shown by operators to customize products, manage costs, provide flexible payment terms and diversity sales channels, the picture was not different to tourism business that felt the effects of a more challenging environment that is beyond their control. Even though, Braztoa operators were able to slightly expand their business, which can denote the strengthening of the tourism sector in the country. DATATUR registered a nominal increase in sales of 6.65%, close to the year inflation – meaning that its actual sales followed closely the economic stagnation picture. In terms of embarks volume, the reSouthts were somewhat more favorable, with 1.86% increase in the year. Changes in the exchange rate and the atypical effects of the World Cup influenced the mix of products sold during the year and point to a constant adaptability by consumers and executives to keep traveling in the consumption basket. The scenario will remain critical, at least in 2015. If the “progressive austerity” plan proposed by the new economic staff is successful, it will make some room for the Central Bank to bring inflation back to target. Today, with the current tax policy, there little that can be done in the monetary sphere and little space for new economic policies with a more horizontal nature. Operators will continue to invest and professionalize to ensure the Brazilian and foreigner customer satisfaction as well as the unquestionable economic reSouthts to the destinations they operate worldwide. It is hard to expect any significant improvement in 2015. But with the change signs in the economic policy guidelines and the ability demonstrated by the tourism operators, 2016 will be much better. 36 METHODOLOGY Data collected from BRAZTOA members refer to the year 2013. Participation was anonymous and voluntary: each member responded to a questionnaire deposited in a sealed ballot box to be collected by the conSouthtant Fabrizio Caritatos, who has no direct involvement in the business of the companies, which added to the fact of the data dissemination occur only on a consolidated basis, guarantees the confidentiality of the information provided individually. The basis of the questionnaire of the DATATUR project 2013 received new questions, which ensured the possibility to compare the 2014 data with previous years and present new information. In the 2014 Edition of the DATATUR project two data collections were performed. Since not all members participate in the survey, the data of the missing are projected, through strata projection, based on respondents with their respective numbers of collaborators. In the process, members are divided into four groups: up to 50 employees, 51 - 100 employees, 101 - 250 employees and over 251 employees. Thus, there was a total amount of actual data tabulated with data projected, so obtaining the final reSoutht presented in this Yearbook. 37 BRAZTOA YEARBOOK 2014 ASSOCIATES 38 GUESTS 39 BRAZTOA YEARBOOK 2014 40 INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS TRENDS 41 BRAZTOA YEARBOOK 2014 INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS TRENDS Over 1.1 billion tourists travelled abroad in 2014 According to the preliminary full year data included in the 2014 April issue of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, arrivals of international tourists (overnight visitors) reached a record of 1,135 million, 48 million more than in 2013. With an increase of 4.4%, this is the fifth consecutive year of above average growth since the 2009 economic crisis, revealing the continued strength of international tourism demand despite the ongoing geopolitical, economic and health challenges in some parts of the world. By region, the demand for international tourism has been strongest to destinations in the Americas (+8%), Asia and the Pacific and the Middle East (both +5%), while Europe (+3%) and Africa (+2%) grew at a slightly more modest pace. By subregion, North America (+9%) saw the best reSouthts, followed by North-East Asia, South Asia, Southern and Mediterranean Europe, Northern Europe and the Caribbean, all increasing by 7%. Europe led growth in absolute terms, welcoming an additional 17 million international tourists in 2014, raising the total to 584 million. In relative terms, growth was strongest in the Americas (+8%), where the number of international tourists reached 182 million.

Americas – fastest growing region in 2014 The Americas (+8%) saw the highest relative growth across world regions in 2014, welcoming an additional 14 million international tourists, and raising the total to 182 million (16% of the world’s total). All four subregions – North America, Central America, Caribbean and South America – rebounded on comparatively weak 2013 figures with growth rates more than doubling.

Canada (+3%) saw comparatively more modest growth. In the Caribbean, arrivals were up 7%, led by major destination Dominican Republic (+10%) that exceeded the five million mark in international arrivals, while Cuba recorded a 5% increase following a weaker 2013. Among the smaller destinations, the Turks and Caicos Islands (+50%), Montserrat (+22%), Grenada (+15%), Haiti and the Cayman Islands (both +11%) all posted double-digit figures. Arrivals in South America increased 5% in 2014, driven by Argentina’s rebound (+13%) after two years of flat figures, supported by the depreciation of the Argentinean peso. Other countries reporting double-digit growth were Ecuador (+14%) and Colombia (+12%), while Paraguay (+6%) also posted good reSouthts. Chile (+3%) experienced comparatively slower growth in international arrivals in 2014. While no consistent 2014 arrivals data is available for Brazil at this point, reSouthts are expected to be positive after the successful hosting of the FIFA World Cup 2014 in June and July and tourism receipts figures confirm this trend. June and July receipts were up by 60% while they were mostly flat or negative during the rest of the year, reSouthting in a 3% growth overall in 2014 (expressed in US dollars). Central America (+6%) likewise saw solid growth in 2014 with Guatemala and Belize (both +9%) posting the highest relative increase, followed by Nicaragua (+8%) and El Salvador (+5%). The subregion’s top destination Costa Rica reported a 4% increase in arrivals. In the Americas region, international tourism receipts totaled US$ 274 billion in 2014, equivalent to 22% of total worldwide tourism revenues. Top spenders: spending by advanced economies picks up in 2014 In terms of outbound tourism, the world’s top spender China continued its exceptional pace of growth with a 28% increase in expenditure in 2014, reaching a total of US$ 165 billion. On the other hand, the other two major emerging markets among the first 10, the Russian Federation and Brazil, lost strength. After strong growth in recent years, expenditure on international tourism by travellers from the Russian Federation was down 6% in 2014, due to a weaker economy and the devaluation of the rouble. As a reSoutht, this source market moved down one place to 5th from 4th in the ranking. After recording double-digit growth in the past four years, tourism spending from Brazil (10th largest spender) slowed in 2014 to a 2% increase in US dollar terms, held back by slower economic growth and the depreciation of the Brazilian real. 44 By contrast, various advanced economy source markets picked up in growth. The world’s second largest spender, the United States posted a 7% increase. The United Kingdom spent 4% more and moved up from 5th to 4th in the ranking. France increased expenditure by 11%, retaining the 6th position and Italy by 6%, climbing from 9th to 8th. Germany (3rd), Canada (7th) and Australia (9th) take the remaining places of the top ten. The other BRIC country, India (+31%), saw a surge in tourism expenditure and moved up two places in the ranking from 25th to 23rd. Other emerging markets recording double-digit growth in outbound spending were Qatar (+31%), Philippines (+27%), Colombia (+19%), Czech Republic (+18%), Taiwan (Pr. of China) (+14%) and Thailand (+13%).

Positive outlook for 2015 Based on current trends and industry expectations, UNWTO forecasts international tourist arrivals to grow between 3% and 4% in 2015, after a 4.4% increase in 2014. The projection is for a somewhat more moderate pace of growth than the robust reSouthts recorded in the past five years, but in line with the 3.8% growth average projected for the decade 2010-2020 by UNWTO in its long-term forecast report Tourism Towards 2030. For the Americas, international tourist arrivals are expected to increase by +4% to +5% in 2015.
