The 2025 edition, released in May 2025, presents insights from 223 tourism experts across the country, who shared their perspectives on the current state of domestic tourism and their individual business situations.

The survey focuses on five key areas:

  • Economic conditions in tourism

  • Business development
  • Workforce and employment
  • Investment and financing

The findings provide in-depth insights into prevailing trends, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement from the perspective of tourism businesses.
