The most attractive among them were the Netherlands, Great Britain and Mediterranean destinations. The rest of the European countries and the tropical islands have slightly smaller the ITA index. The smallest inbound tourism attractiveness in the European region was in Scandinavia, and in the world – in South America, in the poor countries of Asia and Africa. As a result, it was found that the following factors could affect the inbound tourism attractiveness of a certain country: the level of socio-economic development; climate together with marine waters; transport and geographical position regarding the regions that generate outbound tourist flows.
