international travel in regards to several agencies. The discussion will focus on at least four of these agencies, and the impacts that characterise them.
UNESCO Influence on International Travel in Relation to the Tourism Industry.
According to UNESCO Office in Venice UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe (BRESCE), tourism has become one of the most outstanding industries with fastest growth rate. Worldwide, it is the major foreign exchange earner, and provider of employment for several individuals in numerous developing countries. The tourism industry complements other industries with which it works collaboratively in harmony with UNESCO’S intention. This collaboration, however depends on the resources that get available – locally, internationally and regionally.
Interestingly, Why Tourism indicates the current trend in the tourist industry. Presently, the amount of tourism business equalizes with, or possibly exceed the manufacture of foods and automotive products as well as, oil exports. Undoubtedly, this growth results from an increase in destination competitions and variances.
As the tourism industry spreads throughout developed and industrialized countries, the economic and employment benefits extend to many persons in several related sectors. For example, the agricultural, construction and telecommunications industries provide immeasurable job and earning opportunities. In addition, there are other developments and available forecasts that

Over the last 60 years, tourism has benefited from continuous growth and diversification, becoming one of the largest as well as the fastest growing world’s economic sectors. Tourism becomes one of the major categories of global trade in services. Nowadays, 7% of global goods and services exports are contributed by international tourism, and for the last four years, it has grown faster than the general global trade.[ Exports from international tourism rise 4% in 2015, (2016, May 6). Retrieved from http://media.unwto.org/press-release/2016-05-03/exports-international-tourism-rise-4-2015]
Employment opportunities have increased thanks to the tourism sectors. Creating jobs for women and young people, this has contributed to the increase in foreign income, and improves the standards of living for the individual employed in this sector.
Tourism plays a vital role in economic development in most countries around the world. The industry has not only direct economic impact, but also significant indirect and influential impacts. There is agreement among experts that the travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing of global economy. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourism receipts surpass US$ 1 trillion in 2011, growing about 3.8%up from 2010 (WTO, 2012).
One of the challenges that these travel agency managers face is that there is a greater traveler independence (Murison, 2015). In certain parts of the worlds, travelers are keen to explore and travel without the need of having everything arranged for them anymore. These travelers know what they want and how to obtain it getting rid of the need for travel agencies. Additionally, the increasing transparency of prices is another problem that travel agency managers face (Murison, 2015). Travelers are not naïve when it comes to the pricing of their trip. With all the online services available, travelers can check and compare prices of the best deals that suit their needs and their
Tourism and industrial recycling, being other major sectors, are also one of the industries that are growing fast globally.

Tourism is not just a fast-growing industry, but jobs in most economies are created by tourism industry since it demands human-resource. Approximately, “230 million jobs are created in tourism industry and one and a half indirect jobs are created by one direct
Another aspect of impact of tourism on a country’s economy is that it facilitates the expansion of the market of goods and services. Foreigners come to a country willing to spend money on different goods and services, thus increasing the amounts of sales. This is a great chance for producers and service providers to receive larger profits. This concerns not only hoteliers, tour operators, and souvenir shops owners. Public transportation, retail stores of different kind, restaurants, and cafes benefit from international tourism. Obviously, if these industries are in demand, businesses will be expanding. On the one hand, it means that more money is paid to the budget. On the other hand, profits generated by the owners are spent inside the country, affecting almost all the fields of the
Tourism is often synonymous to traveling for pleasure and education. It is also a business of attracting tourists and providing for their accommodation and entertainment. In many countries, tourism is an industry for earning Inland Revenue and foreign exchange. The many businesses that grow concomitantly with development of tourism include airlines, shipping, hotels and restaurants, finance companies, tour operators, travel agents, car rental firms, caterers and retail establishments and together,
With this in mind it is easy to see why "Tourism is a major element of the service economy" (Cooper et al, 2000) and that "Travel and tourism is probably the single most important industry in the world" (Holloway, 2000) Tourism has grown rapidly and has been applauded for its sustained growth.
The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators. Originally, non-traditional industries such as tourism emerged as a solution to strike a balance between ecology and industry
