Tourism is a really big industry all over the world, and it’s a major way that many countries make money and grow their economies. In fact, it’s one of the top five ways that more than 150 countries make money, and in 60 of those countries, it’s the very top way! Tourism makes up about 10% of all the money stuff happening on our planet, and it gives jobs to 1 out of every 10 working people. In places where the economy is still growing, tourism is often the main way they get money from other countries, and it’s the best way they have to keep their economy healthy for the long term. No other industry can do this quite like tourism.
