A report prepared by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) confirms that the tourism sector surprisingly provides twice the number of jobs as finance. There were one hundred and eight million direct tourism jobs and a total of two hundred and ninety two million including indirect ones. Tourism is also a more inclusive industry as it generates so many jobs in spite of contributing half to global GDP as does finance. The share to GDP stands at more than ten percent which is still more than mining, banking, agriculture, automotive and chemicals manufacturing. It is also expected to grow at four percent annually over the next decade. The growth is equitably high across most regions on the planet.
