Acquiring Data • Based on the data collected by UNWTO (2007) • United Nations World Tourism Organization – an international, reliable organization. • UNWTO Tourism Highlights, Edition 2009 • International Tourist Arrivals (1000) • For analysis, all numbers are rounded up to the whole number.
Europe Mean : 20,219 Mode : none Median : 13,648 Standard deviation : 18,795 Range : 78,064
Asia and the Pacific Mean : 7,593 Mode : none Median : 3,973 Standard deviation : 11,263 Range : 54,226
Americas Mean : 5,456 Mode : none Median : 1,701 Standard deviation : 11,457 Range : 55,413
Africa Mean : 1,513 Mode : none Median : 667 Standard deviation : 2,351 Range : 9,091
Middle East Mean : 3,815 Mode : none Median : 2,277 Standard deviation : 3,960 Range : 11,531
Whole World Mean : 7,831 Mode : none Median : 2,172 Standard deviation : 13,375 Range : 81,940
As you can see in this graph and the graph in the previous slide, there is relatively high amount of countries who have less than 8000 visitors, which is the mean number. However, the number of countries decrease as the amount of the visitors increase. Therefore, we can say that this data is “quite” normally distributed.
Top 10 Most Visited Countries • This ranking is based on the data shown previously (2007) • Mean : 41,700 • Mode : none • Median : 37,263 • Standard deviation : 19,589 • Range : 60,570
Most Visited Country : France • Mean : 70,270 • Mode : none • Median : 73,042 • Standard deviation : 9,756 • Range : 29,461 • Line of best fit : 3.814x^4-30501.708x^3+91471160.351x^2-121915803866.3x+60934800335681 (r^2 = 0.999)
Conclusion • Europe is the most visited continent. • Among 107 countries around the world, France is the most visited country. • Two countries that the data wasn’t collected would affect the result. • It is very hard to count every single international tourists.
