Tourism and development
Tourism and development
Tourism contributes to three important development goals:
it creates job opportunities
it generates income
it has a positive effect on the balance of trade.
Consequently, for many countries the tourism sector plays an important role in development and
improves the quality of life for local people. The economic effect of tourism is felt both directly, by
people working in hotels and tourist related activities, and indirectly, through the multiplier effect,
by creating demand for other economic activities.
The income distribution effect of tourism

and local incomes are low. As a result, tourism can create economic opportunities and increase
living standards in some of the poorest parts of a country.
