Did you know your vacation could be powering the world economy? In fact, tourism generates a whopping 10% of the world's GDP. That means for every $10 produced globally, $1 comes from tourism-related activities and jobs. Surprised? Many students in my classes (who aren't tourism majors!) are initially uninterested. But when they learn this fact, their minds are blown! Here's why: Tourism impacts everyone. Even if you're not directly working in a hotel or travel agency, the industry creates jobs in restaurants, retail, transportation, and more. Tourism dollars fuel local communities. Visitor spending pays for local services, infrastructure, and even helps solve community challenges. So, even if you're not "in" tourism, you're probably already "working with it" in some way. Want to make a real impact on your community? Consider a career in hospitality and tourism! Feiertag HTM (ranked Top 5 in the US) can help you get there.

When tourists spend more money when they travel, and the money they spend is reinvested into the local economy, tourism directly impacts the economy. Tourism increases economic activity. The influx of tourists drives up local businesses’ demand for services and products, creating jobs, increasing revenue, and reducing poverty. Direct benefits include those created by tourism-related activities such as accommodation, transport, and attractions. Indirect benefits come from supporting activities to tourism, such as construction and retailing. Tourism also benefits developing countries in other ways, such as improving the perception of their country on the global stage and increasing foreign investment. The tourism industry, like a majestic phoenix rising from the ashes of the pandemic, is experiencing a thrilling resurgence in 2024. #currentthoughts #tourismindustry #worldtravelandtourismcouncil #riselikeaphoenix #globaleconomy #employmentopportunities
