Answer:The high level statistics are often quoted. Tourism is a driver of job growth and economic prosperity, accounting for 1 in 10 jobs worldwide and delivering 1 in 5 of all new jobs created in 2017.
But dig deeper and the story gets more interesting still.
Speaking at the WTTC Global Summit in Buenos Aires recently, former President of Costa Rica Laura Chinchilla Miranda put it like this:
“Tourism equates to 27% of Costa Rica’s GDP. 80% of that benefits the lowest quintile and 60% of the jobs are for women.”
In short, the employment opportunities the sector provides tend to benefit those that need it most
