Globally, tourism is the highest generator of new employment and its role will only grow in importance as rapid growth is expected to continue over the next 10 years. Tourism is also increasingly relevant for the poor—sub-Saharan Africa’s growth in international tourism outpaces the global average. Beyond this, tourism growth has a broader economic reach. It creates knock-on growth in supporting sectors such as agriculture, construction, manufacturing, retail, handicrafts, and financial services. One dollar spent in tourism generates 3.2 additional dollars of GDP; one new tourism job creates an additional 1.5 jobs in the broader economy. Tourism can be inclusive, too. It offers opportunities for women, youth, and other marginalised groups such as migrants, indigenous, and tribal peoples.
