Inbound tourism in Turkey saw 8% volume growth in 2013, compared with only 1% growth the previous year. The major reason behind the slow growth in 2012 was the economic crisis in European countries, leading to a decline in the growth in arrivals from all European countries. In 2013, however, growth increased, stemming largely from package holidays and families with children aged 0-14. The majority of package tours came from Germany and the UK.

Domestic tourism marginally declined in 2013 as the number of trips dropped by 1% to 131 million, while expenditure grew by 3% to GBP24 billion. Overall, the total number of domestic trips taken by UK residents has declined by around 25% since the peak of 174 million trips registered in 2000. Number of domestic trips by UK residents declined over the 2000-04 period, recovered to some extent in 2005, then declined further following the global economic decline, with the uncertain economic outlook impacting consumers' decision regarding taking a holiday. Consumers saw a reduction in their purchasing power, largely due to stagnant salaries, rising inflation and little appetite for taking on further debts. Over this period as a whole, domestic tourism saw a stronger performance than outbound tourism.

Casting is a manufacturing process in which molten or liquid metal is poured into a mold made of sand, metal, or ceramic, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, to form geometrically complex parts. All major metals can be made into castings and the most common ones are iron, aluminum, magnesium, zinc, steel, and copper-based alloys. Metal castings find application in cars, trucks, planes, trains, mining and construction equipment, oil wells, pipes, toys, space shuttles, wind turbines, nuclear plants, and more. Forging is the process of shaping the metals using compressive forces, which are then further processed to obtain a finished part. There are various types of forging methods such as closed die forging, cold forging, and open die forging.

Travel retail sales rose by 2% to GBP31 billion in 2013, posting a second consecutive year of growth as the UK economy recovers and consumer confidence rises. However, the growth rate remained modest as people continued to try to economise and opt for low-cost solutions and last-minute deals. Although the economic outlook has improved, demand remains stagnant and consumer cautious, as wages have not yet caught up with inflation. In this context, value for money is a priority for consumers. Domestic trips declined slightly, partly as the trend for the staycation, which experienced a boost during the credit crunch has worn off, and partly because often travelling abroad to destinations such as Spain, Greece or Turkey on a packaged deal can be considerably cheaper than holidaying in Britain. This way, the number of trips outbound went up by 2% in 2013.

The The Global Construction Equipment market has experienced several pitfalls in the past decade due to the global economic recession. Excavators form an integral part of the Global Construction Equipment market; therefore, they experienced a decrease in their demand during the recession. There are two types of excavators: mini/midi excavators and crawler/wheeled excavators. These are used to excavate, discharge, or elevate materials with the help of a bucket fitted to the boom. These are self-propelled machines which run using either crawlers or wheels. They are highly versatile heavy construction machines and are used for various applications such as below and above ground level operations, which include land leveling, trench digging, and well sinking.

3PL is the outsourcing of logistics and distribution activities by companies to logistics solution providers known as 3PL providers. A 3PL provider is a company to which shippers (customers that transport goods using 3PL services) outsource a part or all the supply chain management (SCM) functions of their logistics services. A 3PL provider plays a significant part in handling customer logistics requirements and performs transportation, location tracking, and sometimes product consolidation activities. Thus, 3PL providers typically specialize in transportation, warehousing, and integrated operation services, which they customize according to their customers' needs. Often, 3PL providers go beyond logistics and provide value-added services such as inventory management, cross-docking, door-to-door delivery, and the packaging of products. They also provide strategic and operational value to many shippers worldwide. Currently, 3PL improves logistics effectiveness by introducing new and innovative ways to manage the SCM.

Political uncertainty will continue to affect the Egyptian economy in 2014 as the country continues through its rocky transitional period towards democracy. However, the election of former Field Marshall Sisi to the presidency following elections at the end of May 2014 will serve to reduce political risk and will introduce a measure of stability not seen since the ouster of President Mubarak in 2011. Sisi's election will provide a veneer of political legitimacy, thereby releasing US aid flows, and should help the economy get back on track. A recovering economy will be felt in the country's ports and airports and on its freight services, as consumer demand and investment into infrastructure picks up, thereby boosting container and dry and liquid bulk freight services.

Egypt's huge and expanding population, together with increasing levels of disposable income, should result in a strong rise in household spending over the next few years, although the continuing political unrest could dent retail prospects. The Egyptian retail sector is set to continue to grow across all subsectors. We are particularly positive about the future growth prospects for the health, transport and education sectors, with communications also set to grow strongly; however, we expect the highest proportion of the household budget to be spent on food & drink throughout our forecast period, with housing & utilities spending also taking a substantial share.
