27-04-23
The global tourism sector has recovered 95% of its contribution to GDP in 2019, a year in which the sector was at record highs, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council's (WTTC) Annual Economic Impact Report.
The WTTC estimates that the sector will account for 9.2% of global GDP this year. A total of 34 of the 185 countries surveyed have already surpassed pre-pandemic levels in terms of their contribution to GDP. WTTC forecasts that, by the end of 2023, almost half of the 185 countries will have fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels or be within 95% of full recovery.
