2016 will be another good year for travel predicts World Travel Market. Released Monday on the opening day of the massive travel trade event in London, the World Travel Market 2015 Industry Report says next year will see further growth in the global industry.

Based on surveys of more than 2,000 senior travel professionals from around the world, 64% of respondents said they expected “slight growth” in the next calendar year, while 15% forecast “significant growth.”

Only 10% said they expected a decline, while another 11% said no change. The report notes that international tourism has increased 4% in the first of 2015.

“These results show that, despite increased volatility, tourism continues to consolidate the positive performance it has had over the last five years,” commented United Nations World Tourism Organization secretary-general Taleb Rifai.
