The travel and Tourism Competitive Index (TTCI) is released by

The correct answer is C, World Economic Forum. The Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index was published by the WEF in its Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report, first released in 2007. It ranks countries on factors that make a destination attractive for travel and tourism, such as business environment, infrastructure, natural and cultural resources, and policy. Note that from the 2021 edition, WEF renamed it the Travel and Tourism Development Index (TTDI), so if a question uses the older name, the publisher is still WEF.

• A) World Bank: It releases Doing Business (now discontinued), the Logistics Performance Index and World Development Indicators, not the TTCI.
• B) IMF (International Monetary Fund): The option's 'Momentary' is a typo. The IMF publishes the World Economic Outlook and Article IV reports, not tourism rankings.
• D) UNDP: It publishes the Human Development Index and the Human Development Report.

Conceptually, this ties to the role of international bodies in producing comparative indices, which is useful for Mains answers on governance indicators and soft power. The WEF also publishes the Global Competitiveness Report, so keep the two apart.

Trap: Aspirants often pick the World Bank because it publishes so many country indices. Link each index to its publisher, not just to its theme.
