Tourism was one of the activities hardest hit by the pandemic. The sector's contribution to global GDP is expected to reach US$11.1 trillion.
This represents an increase of more than 13.6 million jobs compared to its peak in 2019. This situation will occur despite the fact that two large markets such as the US and China are lagging behind in terms of visitor spending. The World Tourism Council says that not all countries will be able to return to their pre-pandemic levels.
