In the short-term, travel and tourism is expect ed to continue to be negatively affected by the downturn in global economies, increasing unemployment, reduced disposable incomes and reduced demand for leisure a nd business travel. However, UNWTO has made the observation that āpast experience has shown that travel and tourism always rebounds from cyclical downturns - sometimes even stronger than beforeā. Indeed, the6.5% average annual growth rate in international arrivals over the period 1950 to 2005 is evidence of the sectorās resilience and robustness over the long-term.
