Environmental sustainability score in the travel and tourism competitive index in the East Asia Pacific region in 2019, by country or region
The Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) aims to measure the factors and policies that make it attractive to develop the travel & tourism sector in different countries. The index is made up of four sub-indexes: Enabling Environment; Travel and Tourism Policy and Enabling Conditions; Infrastructure; and Natural and Cultural Resources. 136 countries are evaluated. The Index scores on a scale from 1 to 7 with 7 being the best rating.
The environmental sustainability score is calculated by taking the following into consideration: the stringency and enforcement of the government’s environmental regulations and variables assessing the status of water, forest resources and marine life, proxied by fish stock status.
