Economic Importance of Tourism

Christian J. Jäggi ()

Chapter Chapter 3 in Tourism before, during and after Corona, 2022, pp 27-46 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Originally a luxury item and strongly dependent on income, tourism became increasingly a mass market object in the 1990s and increasingly independent of the respective income. Tourism developed into one of the most important economic sectors, with a share of world social production of more than 10%. Tourism generates income, creates jobs and contributes to the development of infrastructure, but it also burdens the environment, damages the climate and partly increases social inequality.
