In 2024, the global tourism industry is expected to be worth a whopping $11.1 trillion, solidifying its position as a major player in the world economy.
This means that for every $10 generated worldwide, $1 comes from the tourism industry. The global shopping tourism market size, valued at $171.3 billion in 2019 is expected to surge to $327.8 billion by 2027 and constitutes approximately 30% of total tourism expenditure worldwide.
