As one of the largest sectors in the world, tourism is a major driver of economic growth, and social and cultural development, as well as an important contributor of decent job creation and entrepreneurship for all. While tourism is explicitly included in targets under SDGs 8, 12, and 14, as one of the world's largest economic sectors, it can significantly contribute to fulfilling all 17 Goals.
