The right policy and investment decisions are only made with empirical evidence. For over 25 years,
the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has been providing this evidence, quantifying the
economic and employment impact of Travel & Tourism. This year, the 2017 Annual Economic Reports
cover 185 countries and 26 regions of the world, providing the necessary data on 2016 performance
as well as unique 10-year forecasts on the sector’s potential.
Despite the ever-increasing and unpredictable shocks from terrorist attacks and political
instability, to health pandemics and natural disasters, Travel & Tourism continued to show
its resilience in 2016, contributing direct GDP growth of 3.1% and supporting 6 million net
additional jobs in the sector. In total, Travel & Tourism generated US$7.6 trillion (10.2% of global
GDP) and 292 million jobs in 2016, equivalent to 1 in 10 jobs in the global economy. The sector
accounted for 6.6% of total global exports and almost 30% of total global service exports.
For the sixth successive year, growth in Travel & Tourism outpaced that of the global
economy (2.5%). Additionally in 2016, direct Travel & Tourism GDP growth not only
outperformed the economy-wide growth recorded in 116 of the 185 countries covered by
the annual economic impact research (including in major Travel & Tourism economies
such as Australia, Canada, China, India, Mexico and South Africa), but it also was
stronger than the growth recorded in the financial and business services, manufacturing,
public services, retail and distribution, and transport sectors.
The outlook for the Travel & Tourism sector in 2017 remains robust and will continue to be
at the forefront of wealth and employment creation in the global economy, despite the
emergence of a number of challenging headwinds. Direct Travel & Tourism GDP growth is
expected to accelerate to 3.8%, up from 3.1% in 2016. As nations seem to be looking
increasingly inward, putting in place barriers to trade and movement of people, the role of
Travel & Tourism becomes even more significant, as an engine of economic development
and as a vehicle for sharing cultures, creating peace, and building mutual understanding.
Over the longer term, growth of the Travel & Tourism sector will continue to be strong
so long as the investment and development takes place in an open and sustainable
manner. Enacting pro-growth travel policies that share benefits more equitably can
foster a talent and business environment necessary to enable Travel & Tourism to
realise its potential. In doing so, not only can we expect the sector to support over
380 million jobs by 2027, but it will continue to grow its economic contribution,
providing the rationale for the further protection of nature, habitats, and biodiversity.
WTTC is proud to continue to provide the evidence base required in order to help
both public and private bodies make the right decisions for the future growth of a
sustainable Travel & Tourism sector.

DIRECT CONTRIBUTION
The direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP reflects the ‘internal’ spending on Travel & Tourism (total spending within a particular country
on Travel & Tourism by residents and non-residents for business and leisure purposes) as well as government 'individual' spending - spending
by government on Travel & Tourism services directly linked to visitors, such as cultural (eg museums) or recreational (eg national parks).
The direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP is calculated to be consistent with the output, as expressed in National Accounting, of
tourism-characteristic sectors such as hotels, airlines, airports, travel agents and leisure and recreation services that deal directly with
tourists. The direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP is calculated from total internal spending by ‘netting out’ the purchases made
by the different tourism sectors. This measure is consistent with the definition of Tourism GDP, specified in the 2008
Tourism Satellite Account: Recommended Methodological Framework (TSA: RMF 2008).
The total contribution of Travel & Tourism includes its ‘wider impacts’ (ie the indirect and induced impacts) on the economy.
The ‘indirect’ contribution includes the GDP and jobs supported by:
● Travel & Tourism investment spending – an important aspect of both current and future activity that includes
investment activity such as the purchase of new aircraft and construction of new hotels;
● Government 'collective' spending, which helps Travel & Tourism activity in many different ways as it is made on behalf of the
‘community at large’ – eg tourism marketing and promotion, aviation, administration, security services, resort area security
services, resort area sanitation services, etc;
● Domestic purchases of goods and services by the sectors dealing directly with tourists – including, for example, purchases of
food and cleaning services by hotels, of fuel and catering services by airlines, and IT services by travel agents.
The ‘induced’ contribution measures the GDP and jobs supported by the spending of those who are directly or indirectly
employed by the Travel & Tourism industry.

% of total refers to each indicator's share of the relevant whole economy indicator such as GDP and employment. Visitor exports is shown relative to total exports of goods and services.
Domestic spending is expressed relative to whole economy GDP. For leisure and business spending, their direct contribution to Travel & Tourism GDP is calculated as a share of
whole economy GDP (the sum of these shares equals the direct contribution). Investment is relative to whole economy investment.
