turism1.pngOver 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. These innovations have turned tourism into a key driver for socio-economic progress.‎

Today, the business volume of tourism surpasses the oil exports, ‎food products and automobiles. Tourism has become one of the major players in ‎international commerce, and also represents one of the main income ‎sources for many developing countries.

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.

Destinations worldwide received 1235 million international tourists (overnight visitors) in 2016. In 2017, we witnessed an increase of 6%, in the first four months of the year, 21 million more than in the same months of 2016. By 2030, UNWTO forecasts international tourist arrivals to reach 1.8 billion. Source: World tourism Organization (specialized agency of the UN)
