Made by Tourism



In many countries Tourism industry is gaining a much bigger priority among the economic sectors available in particular countries.  It has been witnessed that, most of the economic contribution that are gained by different countries, originate from tourism activities. An empirical example is like Tanzania in 2012 alone it generated 1712.75 (US $ Million) making it the economic sector with highest contribution in Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Apart from that, tourism industry touches other economic sectors and accounted as one of the important catalyst which contributes to their developments. The increased people mobility has augmented demand in tourist destinations. Such demands are like food, accommodation, security, infrastructures, social services (clean water, hospitals, education), and increased trade and businesses just few to mention. For this matter, tourism contributes to either direct employment in tourism industry or indirect employment to other industries as explained above.


Even at the individual level tourism plays a great impact to personal development in immeasurable ways in regardless whether it’s a tourist or service provider. In this matter the individuals can attain both physical and psychological well being from the tourism activities. Also Individual can increase his/her social capital through meeting different people, understanding of other people’s culture, enjoyment, to increase the knowledge of different things and many more not limited to that.
