Where is all the tourist money going? ① It is apparent from reviewing worldwide travel patterns that tourism remains an economic activity that primarily benefits developed countries. ② Travel today from Europe to North America and vice versa accounts for approximately 79% of all travellers and 78% of all tourism receipts. A few countries in Asia, in particular Japan, have entered the picture as major recipients and generators of tourists. In most cases, tourism growth is tied to level of development. ③ Those countries that show economic growth most likely to be the ones to generate and benefit from tourism. Countries in Africa and South America, with few exceptions, are not yet major tourism generators or receivers. ④ For example, Africa, which has great resource wealth, especially in primary commodities such as timber, gold, and tropical agricultural products, attracts only 4% of all world travellers. ⑤ Given Africa's growing population, its tourism adds very little to the Gross National Product (GNP) of many countries.
