For more than 20 years the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has been investing in economic impact research, which assesses the Travel & Tourism industry's contribution to GDP and jobs. The total impact of the industry means that, in 2011, it contributed 9% of global GDP, or a value of over US$6 trillion, and accounted for 255 million jobs. while the macroeconomic environment remains very challenging, our latest projections point to continuous growth in the contribution of Travel & Tourism to global GDP and employment. This ongoing research underlines the importance of Travel & Tourism as a stabilizing force globally – providing jobs, generating prosperity, and facilitating international trade and investment.
