Modern tourism is a socioeconomic phenomenon, where complex intra-field and inter-sectoral integration is present and sharp competition exists, and also a type of business. Numerous economic relations emerged during the development of tourism, as well as managing processes, marketing research, and scientific researches on the implementation of new tourism and recreational projects will increase the importance of collecting and utilizing statistical data.

Let's look at some figures to see how important statistics are in tourism. According to the information of World Tourism Organization (WTO), which operates under the auspices of the United Nations, the largest international tourism management organization, in 2016, 1 billion 235 million tourists worldwide have been registered, which is 46 million more than in 2015. In the same period, tourism revenues amounted to $ 1 trillion 220 billion, or $ 24 billion more than in 2015. In general, the number of tourists worldwide has increased by 24.7 times compared to 1950 (25 million), tourism revenues increased by 610 times compared to that period ($ 2 billion). At present, tourism constitutes 7 percent of total commodities and services across the globe. However, according to the WTO, world tourism will rise by 3.8 percent annually by 2030. As a result, it is expected that 1.4 billion people will travel in 2020 and 1.8 billion in 2030.
