airlines in European that comprises holiday fleet that is largest in entire Europe and also has 9
operators. It is been analysed that over the years living standards of people whom are living in
United Kingdom has been increased and due to this growth in travel and tourism sector also
measured because people are having more disposable income that they can spend of purchasing
different travel plans. There is an hike in number of traveller that helps organisations as well as
economy to generate higher rated profit margin and growth. According to a report that was
published in 2013, number of travellers was 32.6 billion approx and in 2014 it was 31.1 million.
These numbers are also explaining population condition in UK.
As stated above, number of tourists are increasing and due to this companies have
sufficient number of clients but due to emergence of novel tour operator, it is required from

travel organisations in respect of serving better quality services to association. According to a
study, it was found that number of traveller in USA have shown increment in comparison of

China, Thailand and Mexico. Because if travel industry UK is also earning a huge revenues that
is helpful in increasing growth rate of country because when a company grows it always serve its
contribution in nation’s growth. In the year 2013, number of global visitors was 177.9 billion,
which shown decrement in the very next year 2014 which was 177.2 billion.
France

expensive place on regular basis. In 2016, there were over 64 million foreign tourists arriving
from elsewhere in Europe and a further 18 million non-European residents (Number of inbound
foreign tourist arrivals in France from 2010 to 2016, by residency area, 2018). It can be said that
according to the popularity of number of visiting place in France, it is becoming one among the
top preferred place from customers point of view. This increases numerical ratio of visitors who
are visiting this place. As a result, it contributes in developing interest of government to invest
money in maintaining their monuments in order to attract maximum number of visitors towards
it.

place by wandering and looking for them. In 2017, around 39.9 million people visited Turkey

figure, it can be said that number of visitor for Thailand are declining continuously. Main reason
behind this is that monuments of Thailand have reduced their quality and charm as before. This

seems not so attractive towards customers and as a result they do not prefer to visit the similar
place again and again.
Hong-Kong
