Tourism is a key driver of economic growth at the global level. More specifically, it consists on a critical sector of economic activity for advanced and developing economies as well. Tourism may decisively contribute to output and employment and as a result it can be used as a strategic tool for global economic recovery. It may constitute a basic pillar of development and an effective solution for many of the world’s greatest challenges. Also, it should be pointed out that tourism is a complex and diversified product, which is currently shaped under the spectrum of the recent global financial crisis. It is one of the dynamic sectors strategically positioned to advance poverty alleviation, job creation, inclusive growth and environmental sustainability. Therefore, apart from the extensive economic consequences tourism has a major social impact as well.
