Abstract: Travel and tourism has many positive benefits, including that it is for many countries, the main source of job creation and revenue (Pender and Sharpley, 2005). Tourism provides around 6 to 7% of the world’s jobs and millions more indirectly via the multiplier effect in other sectors from construction to agriculture or telecommunications. Also tourism accounts for 30% of the world’s exports of services (US$ 1 trillion a year) and 45% of the total export of services in developing countries (World Tourism Organization, 2010). In 2012, the tourism industry reached an historical point with one billion international arrivals in one year for the first time according to World Tourism Barometer (2013). Taking in considerations these facts, the paper presents the evolution of the international tourism in the world analyzing the trends and the economic implication.
