Flockeo Travel
This map shows TSDI. It combines all the sub-indicators into a single index to provide at a glance an overview of countries that value human and tourism development while preserving ecosystems and human health.
Eco-friendly travel
The eco-friendly travel map provides an overall view of the Environmental Risk component. It is calculated from the following sub-indicators:
Air quality is assessed according to two timeframes: a yearly score and a seasonal score. To obtain a good score above the average, the World Health Organization (WHO) pollution thresholds must be respected 90% of the time.
The Water Resources score is based on an aggregate indicator derived from the work of the World Research Institute (Aqueduct platform). It includes more than fifteen indicators, such as water stress and flood risk.
This sub-indicator indicates the preservation of forest cover over the last 20 years. An area that has preserved or increased its forest cover over this period will be rated highly. On the other hand, an area that has deforested will score poorly.
- Difference between carbon emissions and NDC
A fourth sub-indicator has been added to compare carbon emissions linked to national consumption (Global Carbon Atlas) with the government directives put in place as part of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (Distributed National Contributions).
Ethical travel
The ethical travel base map gives an overall view of the Human Development and Tourism component. It is calculated from the following sub-indicators:
Health is assessed by comparing the life expectancy of inhabitants with the highest and lowest life expectancy recorded among the countries of the world over the current period. The data comes from INSEE.
Education is a strong indicator of a country’s development. Access to schooling for boys and girls plays a key role in the Human development indicator. This aspect is integrated into the Human development component by taking into account the level of education of the current adult population and life expectancy at school, from kindergarten to higher education. The data comes from Unesco.
GDP per capita
GDP per capita allows us to include the economic dimension of human development. However, the aim of TSDI is not to reward the richest countries, but those that strike the right balance between human development and sustainable development. A threshold is therefore set, above which the country is not rated any higher. Data provided by the International Monetary Fund.
Tourism attractiveness
This indicator provides information on the volume of tourists per year (domestic and international). The total number of trips is divided by the country’s population to obtain a number of tourists per inhabitant. Data provided by UNWTO.
Tourism income
This indicator shows the amount of tourism income generated in a country. A threshold is set at 10 billion dollars, beyond which countries that exceed it have the highest possible score and are not further valued. Data supplied by UNWTO.
