United States
United States’ travel and tourism industries are major contributors to US GDP, accounting for 2.6% of value-added in the US economy (Table 3.116). In a USD 13 trillion economy, travel and tourism are of paramount importance. The industry contributed more to the economy than the insurance industry or than public utilities, and more than twice as much as either agriculture, the automotive or the oil and gas industries. Travel and Tourism related exports now account for 26% of all US services exports and 7% of all goods and services exports.
