夏草屋さんが探してきたリンクをたどると、、、

World Economic Forumってこういう研究までしてるんですね。
ところで、このリポートは客観的なものなのでしょうか?
掲示板の書き込みを読んでいると、
ブラジル、メキシコは日本よりずっと上位にいるものだと思い込んでいました。
World Economic Forumのデータはどうやらそんな簡単なものではなさそうです。

    日本に関するコメント(p20)
    JAPAN
    Japan is ranked 4th regionally and 14th out of all
    the economies in the TTCI, up eight places since the last
    assessment. This achievement is especially impressive
    against the backdrop of the 2011 tsunami and related
    nuclear disaster. Japan’s T&T sector resilience can be
    ascribed to its rich cultural resources (ranked 11th),
    with its 32 World Heritage cultural sites, the many
    international fairs and exhibitions hosted by the country,
    and its rich creative industries.
    (中略)
    In addition, Japan’s extremely customer oriented culture(1st) is an important strength for the T&T industry. ←ここJapan’s extremely customer oriented culture(1st)
    いわゆる、日本のおもてなし文化のことを言っているんでしょうね。なんと世界第1位だそうで、
    これをサポートするデータがここに。

    メキシコに関するコメント(p17)
    MEXICO
    The country’s cultural resources are also among the
    best in the world (21st), with 34 World Heritage cultural
    sites, several international fairs and exhibitions, and
    strong creative industries. (中略)
    Finally, despite a marginal improvement since last year, safety and security remains the main source of concern for the T&T sector, where Mexico still ranks a low 121st. 

    ブラジルに関するコメント(p18)
    BRASIL
    Brazil is ranked 7th in the Americas and 51st
    overall, up one position since 2011. The country is
    ranked 1st out of all countries for its natural resources
    and 23rd for its cultural resources, with many World
    Heritage sites, a good proportion of protected land area,
    and the richest fauna in the world. This is buttressed by
    a focus on environmental sustainability (ranked 30th), an
    area that has been improving over recent years, although
    the protection of the country’s diverse fauna requires
    additional efforts. The safety and security environment
    and health and hygiene conditions have also improved
    slightly since the last assessment.
    (中略) 
    Brazil also
    continues to suffer from a lack of price competitiveness
    (126th), with high and increasing ticket taxes and
    airport charges, as well as high and rising prices more
    generally. Further, the overall policy environment is not
    particularly conducive to the development of the sector
    (ranked 119th), with discouraging rules on FDI, much
    time required for starting a business, and somewhat
    restrictive commitments to opening up tourism services
    under GATS commitments.
    もちろんよい点も書いてますがブラジルとメキシコにたいしてコメント厳しいです。

    ビザの取得しやすさについてもデータがあります。
    日本とブラジル、なんと、ほとんど差がない。
    日本は現在進行形でアジア諸国他に対して、
    じゃんじゃんビザ免除しているから順位は上がっていることでしょう。
