Tourism money: 48 sourced records

What this topic measures

This pre-pandemic snapshot includes spending by international visitors and qualifying international passenger transport. The unit is USD. This topic uses ratio scoring: a value half the target and a value twice the target are equally far away, so think in multiplicative bands rather than fixed steps.

A record is a named row in the frozen catalog, not necessarily a unique entity. Some topics contain several records with the same value, and a name round accepts any record at the closest distance. The table below is the complete answer set for this topic; there is no hidden shortlist.

All 48 records

Every row links to the original source used for that record. Values are rounded for display only; the scoring engine uses the stored source value. The snapshot date and unit are part of the topic’s definition, so a current live figure may differ.

The table has 48 rows, one for each accepted record. It does not list every alias or spelling variant; the game’s name matcher handles those at answer time. If two records share a value, both remain separate rows.

The range and the gaps

The 48 records run from $140,000,000 to $239,447,000,000. The median is $11,642,500,000, with a middle half from $4,062,250,000 to $24,808,000,000. The largest adjacent gap is $168,671,000,000 between France and United States. Every record has a distinct value in this snapshot.

The highest listed records are United States ($239,447,000,000), France ($70,776,000,000), Thailand ($64,371,000,000). The lowest are Algeria ($140,000,000), Bangladesh ($391,000,000), Nepal ($801,000,000). Use these as anchors before you make a ratio or year estimate; the table below gives every value.

What the table does not tell you

These are single snapshot values in USD for 2019 World Bank snapshot · 48 selected countries. The table is not a time series, a range of typical values or a measure of uncertainty. A source can round, revise or use a different definition in a later release; the game uses the stored snapshot for every score. Read the source and the record label before treating a value as a current live measurement.

How to estimate this topic

Tourism receipts are current-USD export earnings for the source year, not tourist arrivals. Use $1 billion, $10 billion and $100 billion bands. A country can receive many visitors without earning a proportional amount, so do not infer arrivals from receipts.
