Following China, Russia boasted a 22 percent increase in expenditure on travel abroad in the same period.

Meanwhile, international tourist arrivals grew by 5 percent, which was above projections made at the beginning of the year (+3 to +4 percent).

Europe (+5 percent) performed surprisingly stronger than expected, driven by Central and Eastern Europe (+10 percent) and Southern and Mediterranean Europe (+6 percent).

Asia and the Pacific (+6 percent) also exceeded expectations, boosted by Southeast Asia (+12 percent) and South Asia (+7 percent).

However, results were weaker than anticipated in the Americas (+2 percent), as South America and the Caribbean lagged.
