You can find many official and unofficial sources of data and statistics on your own through a search engine. Follow some of these tips to find more sources:

• Search in the language if you can. While the webpage may be available in English, there is almost always more information in the original language. 
• In Google, search the country-level domain using "site:". For example, to search the Bulgarian internet you would search "site:.bg". For example "статистика на туризма site:.bg" will help you search for tourism statistics on all Bulgarian webpages and  "site:tourism.government.bg/ статистика на туризма" would specifically search the Bulgarian ministry of tourism.
• In Google, search for PDFs or CSV files containing reports, documents, and data or other files using "filetype:". For example, to search for PDFs on the Russian government site you would search: "site:government.ru filetype:pdf" 

Most countries have specific websites for official governmental statistics, open governmental data, and for state bank statistics & data.
