Tourism is a major (invisible) export, with international visitors injecting foreign exchange directly into the economy.
Tourism works as a catalyst for construction and manufacturing industry but it's so woven into the economy that its significance often goes unnoticed. Tourism industry consists predominantly of small businesses, despite growing investment by larger companies. It relies on minimal direct financial assistance or regulation by government. Tourism is a decentralized industry capable of diversifying regional economies. Compared to other industries, there are relatively few barriers to entry in this industry.
Tourism is a relatively low pollutant, which, if properly managed, can contribute to the conservation of natural and cultural heritage.
It is an important medium for educational and cultural exchange, promoting international understanding and goodwill.
An ever increasing investment in tourism development has turned it into a key driver for socio-economic progress through the creation of jobs and enterprises, infrastructure development and the export revenues earned. The overall export income generated by inbound tourism, including passengers transport, exceeded US$ 1 trillion in 2010, or close to US$ 3 billion a day. Tourism exports account for as much as 30% of the worlds exports of commercial services and 6% of overall exports of goods and services.
As an export category, tourism ranks fourth after fuels, chemicals and automotive products. For many developing countries it is one of the main sources for foreign exchange income, creating opportunities for employment and development. Tourisms contribution to worldwide gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated around 5%. Tourisms contribution to employment tends is estimated around 6-7% of the overall number of jobs worldwide (direct and indirect).
By 2020 international arrivals are expected to reach 1.6 billion. Despite the impact of the worldwide financial crisis and economic recession, international tourist arrivals increased by 3.2% in 2010 to 940 million (as compared to 880 mn. in 2009).
International tourism receipts reached US$ 919 billion (693 billion euros) in 2010, corresponding to a increase in real terms of 5% on 2009 (US$ 852 billion)
