Tourism

Tourism is a social, cultural and economic phenomenon related to the movement of people to places outside their usual place of residence, pleasure being the usual motivation. With increasing globalization and disposable income, tourism has over the last few decades become one of the largest and fastest growing industries. International and regional tourism contributes to economic growth, job creation and development in nations all around the world. Today, tourism accounts for 10 per cent of global GDP, 7 per cent of total exports and one in 11 jobs across the world. In 2015, international tourist arrivals reached nearly 1.2 billion. By 2030, 1.8 billion travellers are expected to cross international borders.
