Serbia and Montenegro (61) and Romania (76). Albania and Bosnia
& Herzegovina have lower rank that Macedonia, being 90th and

The Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI), the first

health care and hygiene, traffic and touristic infrastructure,
IT and telecommunications development, human resources, price
competitiveness, natural and cultural resources.
- The index is not a ‘beauty contest’, or a statement about the
attractiveness of a country. On the contrary, the index measures
the factors that make it attractive to develop the travel and
tourism industry of individual countries, said Jennifer Blanke,
Senior Economist of the World Economic Forum.
