The thickness of arrows is proportional to the number of tourists who went from the country where the arrow starts to the country where the arrow ends. The size of country nodes is proportional to the total of incoming and outgoing tourists in that country. The size of arrows and nodes is directly comparable across the years. The community detection algorithm used is based on modularities (with a 1.5 resolution factor). Different colors represent different network components extracted by this analysis.
