Below is a wonderful graphic from the World Travel and Tourism Council which highlights
how 'Travel Pays' and shows how the money moves through the economy once a visitor
travels and spends. It first benefits those businesses directly involved in tourism and travel
and then percolates down to positively impact the wider economy.

Of course, nothing happens in tourism and travel until a sale is made - as only spending
begins 'the money journey'. This is where 'Visitor International' comes in. Our members
provide visitors with information to encourage them to purchase YOUR tourism products
and services - so that YOU are the first to benefit as the money travels. Happy days!
