How does Travel & Tourism compare to other sectors?

Foreword
For over twenty years WTTC has worked to bring the Travel & Tourism private sector together to speak with one voice. Our Members know that progress will only be made with clear, unambiguous and unified messages. From the outset, our Members understood that hard economic facts were the crucial foundation upon which to base these messages. As a result WTTC has invested heavily in developing a methodology to measure the economic impact of Travel & Tourism around the world. In 2011 we accounted for 9% of GDP, a total of 6 trillion dollars. We supported 255 million jobs. That means one in 12 jobs on the planet. However, it is no longer sufficient just to communicate how important we are as an industry. We have to recognise that in government eyes Travel & Tourism is just one activity that sits alongside many other sectors. These other sectors are better understood than our industry. When we hit the depths of the last recession, which industries immediately dominated the attention of governments around the world particularly in the US and Europe? The answer was financial services and automotive manufacturing. Both received billions of dollars of government cash to keep them functioning. With the support of our Founding Member American Express, we have executed this substantial research study, which puts Travel & Tourism in the broader context of other sectors, and the messages emerging are powerful.

Foreword
More than any other, the travel industry drives commerce and business, facilitates connections and enables tourism and adventure. American Express has a proud heritage of more than 160 years in travel and were pleased to support this new research with WTTC to ensure that travel stays vibrant and vital for many years to come. When American Express helped to establish WTTC more than 20 years ago, we started with a firm belief in the value of travel and a hope to spread that message across the world. Were proud that WTTC has been a driving force in increasing awareness of the positive impact of travel and tourism ever since. This new analysis gives our industry an important tool at our fingertips to benchmark the role that travel and tourism plays in the global marketplace. In a year when Travel & Tourism is projected to directly contribute $2 trillion and 100 million jobs to the world economy, this research from American Express and WTTC is an important addition to the conversation.
