| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 17.87% | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 10.04% | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 21.33% | 2015 |
| Highest | 33.01% | 1995 |
| Lowest | 9.77% | 2021 |
| Average since 2016 | 17.16% | 2016–2025 |
| First recorded | 22.68% | 1976 |
Over five years it is up 7.83 percentage points from 10.04% in 2020. Since 1976 it is down 4.81 percentage points from 22.68% in 1976.
In 2025, OECD members' travel services (% of service exports, BoP) rose 0.1 percentage points on 2024 (from 17.76% to 17.87%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −0.5 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.27 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 5.01 percentage points in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 10.58 percentage points in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 14% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

Travel services cover goods and services for own use or to give away acquired from an economy by nonresidents during visits to that economy, or acquired from other economies by residents during visits to these other economies. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of service exports which are services provided by residents to non-residents.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
