Crafts can be an important contributor to a country's economy, employing artisans that are involved cultural heritage, while generating an important source of income through the informal sector. The tourism industry provides an important export market for a host of craft products.

Tourists often set a budget for themselves expecting to buy different products to take home as souvenirs. These souvenirs then serve as tourism marketing tools by telling a story of the destination and adding to the travel experience.
