Serbia and Montenegro (61) and Romania (76). Albania and Bosnia

- 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.
