Tourism: An Economic Powerhouse for Nations

Forget oil or cars; for many countries, tourism is the real economic powerhouse! Take Turkey,

for example. A deep dive into 30 years of its data, from 1987 to 2018,

shows tourism money directly fuels economic growth, both in the short and long run.

While a strong workforce and big investments are super important, those tourist dollars add a significant,

positive punch to the nation's income. So, your travel isn't just fun,

it's an economic boost! But countries also know that relying solely on tourism

can be risky, so a balanced approach is golden.
