Abstract
International tourism flows produce some of the most dynamic economic exchanges that occur between countries. Between 1970 and 1993, international arrivals more than trebled from 165 million to 500 million. Over the same period, international tourism receipts experienced an 18-fold increase, passing from US$17.9 billion to US$324 billion annually.
