This was the finding the World Travel & Tourism Council’s annual Economic Impact Report (EIR) today, June 2, revealed.
The annual EIR from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) representing the global Travel & Tourism private sector, reveals the sector’s contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) dropped 41.4 per cent.
Travel & Tourism’s impact on the nation’s GDP fell from USD$ 90 billion (22.5%) in 2019, to USD$ 52.8 billion (14.6%), just 12 months later, in 2020.
The year of damaging travel restrictions which brought much of international travel to a grinding halt, resulted in the loss of two million Travel & Tourism jobs across the country.
