Inspired by Mages’s post on Accessing and plotting World bank data with R (using googleVis package), I created one visualising tourism receipts and international tourist arrivals of various countries since 1995.

After last week's kerfuffle I hope the roll out of googleVis version 0.3.2 will be smooth. To test the water I release this version into the wild here and if it doesn't get shot down in the next days, then I shall try to upload it to CRAN. I am mindful...
