734820 Outbound Tourism Expenditure (adjusted for US 2021 inflation) US dollars When reporting a time series of expenditure, comparing observations across time without adjusting for inflation may not yield meaningful results. This is because prices change over time due to factors such as inflation. In order to enable comparisons across different time periods, it is necessary to consider the impact of price changes. In the context of this indicator, where there is no breakdown of the destinations where tourists spend their money on travel activities, the data has been adjusted for inflation using the US Consumer Price Index (CPI). Expenditures associated with international visitors are traditionally categorized under the travel item of the Balance of Payments (BOP). In the case of outbound tourism, those expenditures associated with resident visitors are registered as “debits” in the BOP and refers to “travel expenditure”. It's important to note that BOP estimates also include expenditures related to other types of travelers, such as long-term students, patients, border workers, and seasonal workers, which can be substantial in some countries. 2023-06-27 08:50:27 2024-07-30 06:11:40     1995-2021 6016 28597 $
