Tourism revenue is the money that a country or area earns from visitors who travel there for leisure, business, or other purposes. When tourists spend money on things like hotels, restaurants, transport, and attractions, it boosts the local economy. This income helps create jobs and improve local services and infrastructure, such as roads and public transport. In many places, especially those with famous landmarks or beautiful landscapes, tourism revenue is a vital part of the economy, supporting businesses and communities. Understanding how tourism affects the economy is an important part of studying geography because it shows how interconnected different regions are in the world.
