The term “Asia Pacific” as used on PATAmPOWER consists of the total area embraced by these sub-regions, which is as follows:īelize Costa Rica El Salvador Guatemala Honduras Mexico Nicaragua and Panama.īermuda Canada Greenland Saint Pierre and Miquelon and the USA.Īrgentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Ecuador Falkland Islands French Guiana Guyana Paraguay Peru South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Suriname Uruguay and Venezuela. PATA has grouped the destination members of the Association (and some non-members) into twelve sub-regions. (This definition is that of a “tourist” according to UNWTO usage.) The terms ‘Visitor’ and ‘Arrivals’, as they are used throughout this report refer to International Visitor Arrivals (IVAs). The following are the PATA definitions:Īny person visiting a country other than that in which he/she has his/her usual place of residence for any reason other than following an occupation remunerated from within the country visited and remaining at least 24 hours. When a member changes from nationality to country of residence reporting, apparent declines in the number of European arrivals take place and increases occur in the number of arrivals from other Asia Pacific nations.ĭefinitions used on PATAmPOWER are slightly different from those used by other tourist organisations in some instances.

The result of reporting by nationality is that the number of (for example) European arrivals to Asia Pacific destinations, by citizens who reside in Asia Pacific countries, becomes inflated. These cards are completed by most visitors to Asia Pacific destinations.Īrrival statistics are reported to PATA either by country of residence or nationality of visitors and the current position is as follows:Īustralia Cambodia Canada Chinese Taipei Cook Islands Cyprus Fiji French Polynesia Guam Hawaii Hong Kong SAR Macao, China Marshall Islands New Caledonia New Zealand Niue Northern Marianas Papua New Guinea Philippines Samoa Singapore Solomon Islands Sri Lanka Tonga USA and Vanuatu.īhutan Brunei, Chile China India Indonesia Japan Kiribati Korea (ROK) Lao PDR Malaysia Maldives Mexico Mongolia Myanmar Nepal Nicaragua Palau Thailand Turkey Tuvalu and Vietnam.

The primary source for the visitor arrival data is the embarkation/debarkation card. International visitor arrival and expenditure data presented on PATAmPOWER are submitted by individual national tourist organisations and national statistics offices in the Asia Pacific region.
