Travel Power
The travel and tourism industry is an undisputed key global economic driver. The World Travel and Tourism Council Report of 2018 highlighted that the industry contributes 10.4 percent of Global GDP and one in 10 jobs – 9.9 percent of global employment. In the last decade, one in five of all global net jobs have been in this sector. All indices are forecast to rise in the next decade, much faster than economies as a whole. In Pakistan as well, the industry is beginning to see better day. The much-improved security situation and combined with key initiatives, such as welcoming a visa regime, will certainly have a positive impact on the travel and tourism industry in Pakistan and the country’s potential growth, will no doubt, eclipse the average as we emerge into the international spotlight.
