It emerges as a creator of jobs across national and regional economies. WTTC I WEFA research show that Travel & Tourism generated, directly and indirectly, more than 11.7% of GDP and nearly 238 million jobs in the worldwide economy. These figures are forecasted to total 11.7% and 255 million respectively in 2010. Jobs generated by Travel & Tourism are spread across the economy - in retail, construction, manufacturing and telecommunications, as well as directly in Travel & Tourism companies. These jobs employ a large proportion of women, minorities and young people; are predominantly in small and medium sized companies; and offer good training and transferability.
