The Travel and Tourism Competitive Index (TTCI) is released by

Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — C, World Economic Forum. The Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI), along with its accompanying Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report, is published by the World Economic Forum (WEF) — the Geneva-based body best known for its annual Davos meeting. First released in 2007, it benchmarks economies on the factors and policies that make the travel and tourism sector sustainable and competitive. The WEF renamed it the Travel & Tourism Development Index (TTDI) from the 2021 edition.

Why the other options are wrong — (a) The World Bank is known for reports such as the (former) Ease of Doing Business ranking, the World Development Report and the Logistics Performance Index — not the TTCI.  (b) The IMF brings out the World Economic Outlook and the Global Financial Stability Report — macro-economic surveillance, not a tourism competitiveness index.  (d) The UNDP publishes the Human Development Report and the Human Development Index — not the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index.

Concept: The World Economic Forum (WEF) is an international not-for-profit body (Geneva) that produces a family of benchmarking indices. The Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index is one of them, ranking countries on enabling conditions (business environment, safety, health, infrastructure), tourism policy and natural/cultural resources.
