An exchange rate is the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another currency. For example, €1 could be exchanged for $1.13. This rate changes constantly on global foreign exchange markets where all kinds of currencies are traded. The euro is one of the most traded currencies, along with the US dollar, Using unique analysis of visitor weighted exchange rates WTTC looks at the impact that currency changes have on Travel & Tourism flows and the extent to which they influence visitor arrivals to a destination. Focusing just on the US dollar exchange rate is not enough to understand the effect of currency changes on Travel & Tourism. But first, let’s have a look at why exchange rates move. Why Exchange Rates Move . Exchange rates move as currencies are paired against each other. This means that as the value of one currency rises, the other’s value must fall. The value of a currency is measured against a number of different factors. These include everything from employment rates to elections and even wars. The exchange rate is often used as a proxy for the relative price of tourism in tourism demand models. However, it alone is not an acceptable proxy (Martin and Witt1987). Impact of exchange rates on T&T performance • Examined a number of case studies including: North America, China and Japan, Eurozone, US Dollar peg economies and Australia • Choice of case studies based on the divergent exchange rate pathways and integrated nature of tourism markets Role of Tourism Industry in Generating Foreign Exchange Although global recession and the September 11, 2001, events are estimated to have resulted in a temporary decline in travel and tourism demand in 2001-02, international and domestic tourism is expected to boom over the next two decades.

Although many studies were conducted on the role of the exchange rate, either as a (2014a and 2014b) for an analysis of tourism demand in Greece.

In fact, the exchange rate is sometimes included in the tourism demand function as an explanatory variable separately from the CPI, as tourists are perhaps more aware of the exchange rate rather than the costs of living destination. At any point in time, in a given country, the exchange rate is determined by the interaction of the demand for foreign currency and the corresponding supply of foreign currency. Thus, the exchange rate is an equilibrium price (StE) determined by supply and demand considerations, as shown by Exhibit I.1. The exchange rate is defined as "the rate at which one country's currency may be converted into another. 4 Typically, these rates fluctuate daily in response to the forces of supply and demand for different countries’ currencies. Chile, for instance, is the world’s leading copper exporter.

Consequently, tourism plays an important economic role, as investing in this and the exchange rate are the main determinants of tourism demand for Greece.

Tourism flows respond strongly to changes in the destination country’s real exchange rate, along both extensive (tourist arrivals) and intensive (duration of stay) margins. OECD countries generally exhibit higher elasticties with respect to economic variables (GDPs of the two economies, real exchange rate, bilateral trade) due Exchange rate policy. The exchange rate of an economy affects aggregate demand through its effect on export and import prices, and policy makers may exploit this connection. Deliberately altering exchange rates to influence the macro-economic environment may be regarded as a type of monetary policy. Changes in exchanges rates initially work there way into an economy via their effect on prices.
