Tourism is now one of the world’s largest industries. According to the World Tourism Organisation (WTO) international tourism generated US$514 billion in 2003ii. It accounts for 12% of international consumer spendingiii and generates 1 in 12 jobs worldwideiv, making it vitally important for the global economy and the economic and social development of emerging markets in Asia, Latin America and Africa.
