Tourism the largest industry in the world
Figures released by the World Travel & Tourism Council show that last year worldwide international arrivals increased considerably to 1,14 billion. But this is not the only remarkable figure for tourism, the largest industry in the world.
In 2014 tourism was also responsible for 10% of the gross national product of the whole planet. This means a turnover of 7,5 trillion euro (7.500.000.000.000!) and amounts to 227 million jobs. One in 11 jobs worldwide is created by the tourism industry (9,4% of all jobs in the world). This is expected to increase to 357 million jobs, or 10,7% of the total worldwide employment, in 2025. Impressive!
