Travel And Tourism
Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. The World Tourism
Organization defines tourists as people "travelling to and staying in places outside their usual
environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes".
Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2010, there were over 940 million
international tourist arrivals worldwide, representing a growth of 6.6% when compared to
[2]
2009. International tourism receipts grew to US$919 billion (€693 billion) in 2010, corresponding to
an increase in real terms of 4.7%. As a result of the late-2000s recession, international travel
demand suffered a strong slowdown from the second half of 2008 through the end of 2009. After a
5% increase in the first half of 2008, growth in international tourist arrivals moved into negative
territory in the second half of 2008, and ended up only 2% for the year, compared to a 7% increase in
2007. This negative trend intensified during 2009, exacerbated in some countries due to the outbreak
of the H1N1 influenza virus, resulting in a worldwide decline of 4.2% in 2009 to 880 million
international tourists arrivals, and a 5.7% decline in international tourism receipts.
Tourism is important and in some cases vital for many countries, such
as France, Egypt, Greece, Lebanon, Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy,
and Thailand, and many island nations, such as Mauritius, The
Bahamas, Fiji, Maldives, Philippines and the Seychelles. It brings in large amounts of income in
payment for goods and services available, contributing an estimated 5% to the worldwide gross
domestic product (GDP), and it creates opportunities for employment in the service
industries associated with tourism. These service industries include transportation services, such
as airlines, cruise ships and taxicabs; hospitality services, such as accommodations, including
hotels and resorts; and entertainment venues, such as amusement parks, casinos, shopping
malls, music venues and theatres.
In 2010, there were 940 million international tourist arrivals, with a growth of 6.6% as
compared to 2009.
The World Tourism Organization reports the following ten countries as the most visited in
terms of the number of international travellers. In 2010, China overtook Spain to become the
third most visited country. Most of the top visited countries continue to be those in Europe,
followed by a growing number of Asian countries.
