Tourism is a key element in the global services export economy, supporting social inclusion, culture, nature, and heritage conservation. It acts as a catalyst for rural development and the services manufacturing supply chain, while also contributing to poverty alleviation. With a forty-fold increase in international tourism arrivals from 1950 to 2000 and a doubling in the past two decades, proactive development policies and systems fixes are essential to ensure sustainable and fair trade practices.
