The Progress of Tourism in Numbers

Over the decades, tourism has witnessed remarkable growth and deepening ‎diversity to become one of the fastest growing economic sectors around the world. ‎Modern tourism is closely linked to development and encompasses a growing number ‎of new destinations.

In 2010, World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) stated that 940 million people were recorded as arriving in a country from abroad because of tourism. This is worth $919 billion dollars, making tourism one of the world's largest industries.
