Consider this: For the past seven years, the travel-and-tourism sector has outperformed the overall economy every year, contributing as much as $US7.6 trillion ($A9.71 trillion) in 2016, including the wider impact on the economy, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council. During the next decade, the council predicts, almost one in four jobs created worldwide will be related to tourism.
