Tourism is an important driver of economic development, both globally and locally. The sector contributes directly to 4.4% of GDP, 6.9% of employment and 21.5% of service exports in OECD countries on average. New models for the tourism sector offer real prospects for sustainable and inclusive development.
Therefore, integrated policies with a long-term perspective are needed to ensure that tourism development provides benefits for people, local territories and communities, and businesses and safeguards natural capital, which is essential for any tourism model. These policies require sustainable practices, taking into account that climate change is the biggest threat to the sector.
