In 2024, the sector reached $11.1 trillion, representing over 10% of the world’s GDP and supporting millions of jobs worldwide.

These figures are more than data: they demonstrate the strength and vast potential of our industry.

We must continue to foster sustainable growth, drive innovation, and ensure that the benefits of Travel & Tourism reach communities and people around the world.
