These driversshould be able to predict in these regions, simultaneously, the number of international tourist arrivals and therevenues derived from these arrivals. In order to achieve this objective, an initial sample of 141 countries wasused, grouped into the aforementioned geographical areas, along with their respective scores obtained in theTTCI, subsequently applying different statistical techniques, including Partial Least Squares (PLS) Regression.The drivers that offer the highest prediction capacity are: nature, culture, infrastructure, environmentalsustainability, and safety and security.
