Abstract
International totcrism in the Asia-Pacific region has grown rapidly since the 1960s, primarily because of increased intraregional travel among Asia-Pacific residents. This article compares tourism development among major Asia-Pacifrc countries, focusing especially on countries as receivers of tourists and tourism receipts and as gerterators of tourist travel. Countries examined include Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as island microstates in the Pacific. The study concludes that tourism development in the Asia-Pacific region will depend on continued economic growth and the willingness of governments to open their countries to foreigners and to allow their own nationals to travel freely abroad.
