Tourism and Economic Sector

 When the economic sector begins to stagnate because consumer or community demand has decreased or fallen, the tourism industry is the helper who can revive the community's economy.  Many countries in the world have felt it.  The United States and Europe when experiencing economic collapse caused by the housing credit crisis Subprime Mortgage, it was the tourism industry that saved the country from the economic crisis.  We can quote the statement from former President Barack Obama: Tourism contributes to the success of the American and World Economics.  America and Europe have enjoyed economic prosperity from the tourism sector for a long time.  Even in 2008-2009 during the economic crisis, the United States tourism sector only decreased slightly by 5% and in 2010, the tourism sector experienced a revival by growing 8.8% and tourist visits to the United States as many as 59.8 million people.  This figure contributes to the growth of the American economy.  The tourism sector is the mainstay of the American government for economic recovery.  A massive promotional strategy was carried out to get everyone to want to visit the United States.  The same thing happened on the European continent.  In 2008-2009, according to Eurostat, the people of the European Union who traveled between European countries were 1.2 billion trips.  When there was an economic crisis the European Union community to travel is still very high.  This creates an even distribution of income to the European Union countries.
