Growth in Tourism and Its Impact on the Economy
Adele Baaini says tourism is a powerful engine of economic growth, driving revenue, job creation, and infrastructure development. As global travel increases, countries benefit from foreign exchange earnings, which boost national income. Local businesses flourish, from hotels to restaurants, generating employment and fostering entrepreneurship. However, rapid tourism growth also pressures natural resources and local cultures, necessitating sustainable practices to ensure long-term economic benefits. Balancing growth with preservation is key to maximizing tourism's positive impact on the economy.
