Abstract
Over the past few decades, the tourism industry has experienced phenomenal growth. There were 702.6 million international tourism arrivals in 2002. Tourism contributed about 10 per cent of global gross domestic product (GDP) and represented 8 per cent of total global employment. In the Asia-Pacific region, tourism arrivals grew at an average of 7.1 per cent per year over the past decade. Tourism revenue more than doubled and created 115 million jobs in 2002.
The process of globalization would continue to create enormous opportunities for the expansion of tourism, with the expectation that it would make a significant contribution to socio-economic development, especially in developing countries. Tourism could help diversify a country’s economic base, as well as spread development to regions that may not have benefited from other types of economic development.
