What are your thoughts and suggestions about the tourism industry?

Tourism is one of the leading arenas that add value to countries. Just as it grows a country’s economy, it is a crucial industry that also help promote countries’ cultural and natural wealth. It is also an industry that helps branding. It helps develop and grow various industries. Tourism industry showed impressive growth in our country in 2024. Being a point of attraction all year round, our country generated $46.9 billion in the first 9 months. It recorded a 7% growth compared to the previous year. We are ranked 6th in the world. This rate is growable. In addition to utilizing international platforms more effectively in order for tourism to advance more and gain more efficiency; vitalizing tourism activities with custom content for each industry should help us create more added value.

Transportation is the most important component of the tourism industry. There’s a direct relationship and interaction between tourism and transportation. Just as the development of transportation systems help grow and vitalize tourism; development of tourism obliges transportation to be more comfortable and better. Because transportation means travelling. Just as transportation means arriving at a location and moving from there; it sometimes also can be a touristic attraction in and of itself. Transportation is an arena that has the power of affecting sub-industries of tourism such as accommodation, food and drink.
