Asia is the largest part of the world. More than half of the world's population lives here.
In order to better understand the peculiarities of tourism development in this largest part of the world, the following regions should be highlighted: Southwest Asia(Near and Middle East), South Asia, Southeast Asia, Central and East Asia.
Asia is attracting an increasing number of tourists due to the following factors:
- a huge, extremely capacious territory for receiving tourists (Asia is the largest part of the world);
- washing the coast of Asia by three oceans and dozens of their seas and bays;
- the location of this part of the world in all climatic regions, the significant diversity and richness of natural landscapes and recreational resources;
- the presence of a huge number of historical and cultural monuments, as well as natural attractions;
- the location of the world's most important shrines and centers of pilgrimage in Asia;
- the ethnic diversity of the continent;
- the presence in Asia of countries with the highest population in the world: China, India;
- rapid pace economic development a number of countries: Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, China, etc.
Along with these favorable conditions, there are also a number of negative factors that hinder the development of tourism in Asia. First of all, it should be noted:
- unfavorable natural conditions for tourism in vast territories of a number of countries (deserts, highlands with complex terrain, jungles, etc.);
- poor development transport infrastructure a number of countries;
- the dominance of ideological interests over economic ones in a number of countries, as a consequence of this, the economic backwardness of these countries, their unpreparedness to receive tourists, lack of service (DPRK, Mongolia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Iran, Iraq);
lack of internal political and economic stability in a number of Asian countries (Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq).
The main purpose of visiting Asia by tourists from other parts of the world is to get acquainted with the culture, historical and natural attractions. Business travel and congress tourism are most typical for Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China. Israel is visited for the purpose of treatment and worship of religious values.
External tourism relations in Asia are carried out mainly
aviation. Most flights are operated internationally
airlines, a smaller part - by companies owned
countries of Asia.

Due to the wide range of climatic conditions, there is no specific season for arrivals in Asia, but it can be traced to individual regions.
The main tourist market for Asia is the countries of Europe (of which the former metropolitan countries of Great Britain and France, as well as Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the Scandinavian countries stand out), the USA and Canada. From Africa, the largest tourist flows are from the Maghreb countries to Mecca and Medina, and from East Africa- to India, Pakistan and Iran. There are relatively large flows of tourists from Australia and New Zealand, especially to Southeast and South Asia. Among the Asian countries, Japan stands out in intra-Asian flows.
Flows from Asia to other parts of the world are relatively small; the Asian tourist market is still completely inadequate to match the huge size of its population. Today, the Japanese and residents of a number of countries in South-West Asia are the most likely to travel outside this part of the world.

Southwest Asia

This region covers a vast and extremely diverse territory geographically, historically and socio-economically. This includes 16 states: Afghanistan, Bahrain, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Qatar, Cyprus, Kuwait, Lebanon, United United Arab Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Türkiye. It should be noted that the conventional concept of “Near and Middle East” is somewhat broader than “Southwest Asia”, since it covers the territory of the states of South-West Asia, as well as Egypt and Sudan. Profitable geographical position some states and regions are combined with the remoteness and isolation of others; favorable climatic and landscape conditions for tourism and resort business, as well as the diversity of recreational resources in some countries - with desert and arid ones (in most of the Arabian Peninsula) in others. There are also serious political differences: in a number of states in the region, monarchies (including absolute ones) with strong vestiges of feudal and tribal relations have been preserved, but the republican form of government still prevails.

In general, South-West Asia can be considered one of the most promising regions in the development of tourism. Wide access to many seas and bays of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, as well as to the Caspian Sea, geographical location at the junction of three parts of the world, various relief and climatic conditions, a large number of sunny days, unique natural attractions, numerous historical, cultural and religious monuments, the presence of a developed tourist infrastructure in a number of countries (Cyprus, Turkey, Israel) - all these and many other factors contribute to the widespread attraction of guests from other parts of the world, as well as development of tourist exchange within the region.
