Concerning the international tourism receipts, top 10 Member Countries, shown in Figure 4.7,
earned US$ 109 billion as international tourism receipts in 2015. It was US$ 110 billion in 2014,
but this does not mean that tourism receipts declined in real terms. Unusual strong exchange
rate fluctuations lead to lower tourism receipts data in dollar terms.
It is also worth mentioning that among these countries, Turkey and Malaysia were also ranked
12th and 16th, respectively among the Top world tourism earners in 2015.
