The Lab has taken stock from seven of its tourism markets systems analyses to understand the common challenges and opportunities in a wide array of contexts.
Positive growth in tourism has positive knock-on effects in supporting sectors such as agriculture, construction, manufacturing, retail, handicrafts, and financial services – one new job in tourism creates one and a half indirect jobs.

This brief aims to help identify how projects can quickly identify the challenges and potential opportunities.
