International tourism

I nternational tourism is one of the leading, highly profitable sectors of international economy. It can be viewed as the specific type of economic activity, oriented towards different kinds of tourism services provided to meet the growing demand for travellers’ material and spiritual needs.

This industry grows rather dynamically and plays an important social and economic role, as it:

• maximizes money transfers to local economies;

• provides new employment possibilities;

• develops all industries related to the tourism services production;

• provides growth of local living standards;

• makes massive cash injections.

International tourism is one of the three main industries in the world. It comes third after the oil and automobile industries. General tourism revenue represents 13% of world export and 8% of services export.

It can be called the business of the XXIst century as it generates more revenue than other industries and agriculture in several countries. Recreational complexes in the USA, for example, contribute an annual income three times higher than the one received from agriculture while the occupied area is 10 times smaller.

In recent years the area of land used for recreation has been quite expanded. This happened because the role of international tourism increased significantly in world economy. There is considerable growth of the flow of international tourists: for the former 20 years their number grew by 2.5 times.

According to the World Tourism Organization the industry accounts for more than 13% of global consumer spending, 10% of gross world product, 7% of overall investments, and 5% of general tax benefits. Tourism directly influences approximately 40 industries in the world as well as 10 – 15% of employees in any country.

Among the factors, which are basic for international tourism development are favourable economic growth and social development. These two factors lead to the increase in business and leisure trips as employment upturn predetermines the overall improvement of living standards while intensification of labour prolongs holiday terms. No less important is the substantial development of political cooperation and cultural exchange between countries that causes interpersonal relations within and between the regions. In addition, minimum visa requirements, currency transfers and low customs tariffs make the trip organization easier and faster from year to year.

T ourism importance continues to grow as it is substantial source of foreign currency reserves and employment in a country. According to the World Tourism Organization review of 171 countries tourism profits were worth $6.48 trillion in 2006 and there is no end in sight. It is said that the sum will be doubled in 10 years only. In addition, the industry employs 234 million people now. These employment numbers will increase together with the industry growth. Thus, it is not surprising that tourism boost has currently become one of the most attractive social and economic phenomena. That is why every country should understand its power and give it due attention.
