Tourism prospects remain positive for May/August, during the Northern Hemisphere summer season. Around 435 million tourists are expected to travel abroad during these four months, which accounts for as much as 40% of international tourist arrivals registered in a year. This outlook is confirmed by the U.N. World Tourism Organization. I look forward to seeing you all at our September 14 meeting in Newport Beach.
