A new report on world tourism has placed Japan in fourth place in assessing counties competitiveness for travelers.
According to The Japan News (Yomiuri Shimbun):
LONDON (Jiji Press) — Japan came in fourth in the World Economic Forum’s latest Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report released Wednesday, unchanged from the previous survey in 2017.
Japan was highly rated for its cultural assets and other features, but the report pointed out that improvements can be made with respect to the country’s development of tourism infrastructure and its use of natural resources. The top three countries were also unchanged, with Spain heading the overall rankings, followed by France and Germany.

The report covered 140 countries and regions, assessing their competitiveness in 14 fields including natural resources, cultural resources and air transport infrastructure.
