年旅遊競爭力報告出爐 西班牙全球第一

2019全球旅遊哪家強？根據世界經濟論壇的《旅遊競爭力報告》，西班牙連續第三年高居榜首，法國和德國分居第二名和第三名。在前十名中，歐洲國家佔了六個。脫歐和英鎊貶值致使英國排名下降。

It has more than 3,000 miles of coastline, and no fewer than 48 UNESCO World Heritage sites. Now, Spain has been declared the best country in the world to visit.

西班牙的海岸線超3000英里（4828千米），擁有至少48個聯合國教科文組織世界遺產地。這個國家日前被宣佈爲全球最佳旅遊目的地。

For the third year running, it slid in just above France in the Travel & Tourism Competitive Report by the World Economic Forum, the Swiss-based organization that annually gathers the global elite to discuss major issues.

西班牙已經連續第三年在世界經濟論壇的《旅遊競爭力報告》中領先法國。總部在瑞士的世界經濟論壇每年都會將全球的精英人物聚集到一起來討論重大問題。

And with major travel draws such as Barcelona and its La Sagrada Família basilica, Madrid and its famous Prado art museum and the Costa del Sol with warm, inviting beaches, it's easy to see why Spain is the global favorite.

西班牙擁有巴塞羅那（聖家族大教堂）、馬德里（著名的普拉多美術館）和熱情誘人的太陽海岸等熱門旅遊地，因此不難理解西班牙爲什麼會成爲全球最受歡迎的旅遊國家。

Germany's third place -- above the likes of Italy, Japan and the United States -- may surprise some. But the destinations are ranked by "travel readiness" at what the WEF calls a "tipping point" for the travel industry. The 90-strong criteria included infrastructure, safety and sustainable travel initiatives. Culture, accommodation and value for money were also taken into account.

德國排名第三，領先於意大利、日本和美國等國家和地區，這也許會令某些人感到意外。世界經濟論壇是依照旅遊行業“臨界點”的“旅遊接待能力”來排名的，有包括基礎設施、安全和可持續旅遊策略等多達90條評判標準。文化、住宿和性價比也被考慮在內。

Japan and the United States rounded out the top five. Yemen came bottom, at number 140.

躋身前五的還有日本和美國。也門在榜單中墊底，排名第140位。

The top 10 countries have remained largely unchanged from last year's rankings, apart from the UK, which slid from fifth place to sixth.

除英國以外，榜單前十名的國家和去年基本一樣，英國從第五名下滑到了第六名。

Italy came in at number eight, and Canada at nine.

意大利排名第八，加拿大排名第九。

To create the biennial table, the WEF looked at four areas of tourism: natural and cultural resources, infrastructure, national travel and tourism policy, and the "enabling environment" (from safety and hygiene to the labor market).

爲了推出這個兩年一度的排行榜，世界經濟論壇考察了旅遊的四個方面：自然和文化資源、基礎建設、國內旅遊政策和“環境可適應性”（從安全衛生條件到勞動力市場）。

biennial[baɪ'ɛnɪəl]: adj. 兩年一次的

Austria -- whose capital, Vienna, was named the "most livable city in the world" this month -- was ranked 11 overall. It did, however, top the board for "health and hygiene."

奧地利——首都維也納本月剛被評爲“世界最宜居城市”——總體排名第11，但是在“健康和衛生”一項中排名居首。

Looking at security, Finland, Iceland and Oman were judged the safest countries. El Salvador, Nigeria and Yemen were ranked the least safe.

在安全方面，芬蘭、冰島和阿曼被評爲最安全國家。薩爾瓦多、尼日利亞和也門被評爲最不安全的國家。

The US came top in one pillar: that of the "human resources and labor market."

美國在“人力資源和勞動力市場”這一項中排名居首。

Canada was ranked top for air transport infrastructure, and Mexico for natural resources.

加拿大和墨西哥分別在航空基礎設施和自然資源方面排名居首。

In the overall rankings, there was more movement outside the top 10. Romania, Serbia and Albania all shot up 12 places to 56, 83 and 86 respectively. Egypt rose nine places, and Oman eight.

總體來看，十名以外的國家和地區排名變動更大。羅馬尼亞、塞爾維亞和阿爾巴尼亞都上升了12名，分別位居第56名、第83名和第86名。埃及上升了9名，阿曼上升了8名。

Meanwhile, Ecuador fell from 57 to 70, and Trinidad and Tobago had the biggest fall, plummeting 14 places from to 73 to 87.

與此同時，厄瓜多爾從第57名下滑到第70名，特立尼達和多巴哥的跌幅最大，從第73名下滑到第87名，下降了14名。
