ANALYST READ

Turkey's tourism economy contributed $153.5 billion to GDP in 2024 — 11.8% of the national economy, ranking 9th of 42 panel nations. 56.3 million international arrivals supported 3.2 million jobs — roughly one in ten of the workforce. The structural signal: tourism's GDP share now sits +0.7pp its 2019 level, and WTTC projects it climbing to 12.7% by 2035. The watch-point is investment — capital expenditure momentum is still tagged "Recovering" while arrivals surge ahead, a financing gap worth tracking.

Spain is a global top-three tourism economy. Its travel and tourism sector contributed $270.2 billion in 2024 — 15.6% of GDP, the 3rd-largest share in the 42-country panel. With 105.0 million international arrivals and 3.0 million jobs, both scale and intensity are elite. Tourism's GDP share has expanded +1.6pp since 2019 and is forecast to reach 17.1% by 2035. This is a mature market still gaining ground — not a recovery story.

Greece runs the highest economic dependence on tourism in the entire panel: 19.4% of GDP (2nd of 42) and one in five jobs (20.0% of employment, 3rd). A $48.8 billion contribution flows from 36.0 million arrivals. The honest read: tourism's GDP share dipped -1.2pp below its 2019 level in 2024, but WTTC forecasts a rebound to 20.6% in 2025 and 21.7% by 2035. Concentration risk and recovery momentum, captured in one profile.

One of the panel's steepest recovery trajectories.
