Many economists estimate that tourism is the world’s single biggest industry both in monetary and employment terms. Tourism has become a lifestyle choice for a majority of the population in the developed world. Tourism is one of the largest industrial sectors in these economies and it can be the single largest industrial sector for less well-developed economies.
