The main purpose of this study is to gain a different perspective on success criteria in the tourism sector. In this study, the success in the tourism sector of the countries listed according to various criteria in the barometers published in the January 2023 by the UNWTO was compared with other data of countries such as GDP, area, population, import, export. It has been tried to reveal how successful any country, which is in the first place in a certain field, is according to different variables. In the study, the data of the countries in different fields were compared through tables and a different perspective was presented to the success criteria.
