| Abstract: | Tourism is a major component and contributor of the Gozitan economy. It is a sector that not only injects overseas funds in the economy, but, due to its high multipliers, also creates other job opportunities. The economic benefit of tourism is far reaching and is also beneficial to other directly and indirectly related sectors, which either depend on tourism activity for their custom, or else depend on expenditure generated from tourism for their success. It is estimated that approximately 50% of the Gozitan Gross Domestic Product is generated by the tourism sector. |
