Travel Industry Statistics
The contribution of tourism to economic activity worldwide is estimated at some 5%.
Tourism's
contribution to employment
is 6-7
% of the overall number of jobs worldwide (direct and indirect).From 1950 to 2010, international tourism arrivals expanded at an annual rate of 6.2%, growing from 25 million to 940 million.The income generated by these arrivals grew at an even stronger rate reaching around US$ 919 billion in 2010.While in 1950 the top 15 destinations absorbed 88% of international arrivals, in 1970 the proportion was 75% and 55% in 2010, reflecting the emergence of new destinations, many of them in developing countries.
As growth has been particularly fast in the world's emerging regions, the share in international tourist arrivals received by emerging and developing countries has steadily risen, from 32% in 1990 to 47% in 2010.
