"The gift you have given us is sharing your lives with us, committing your time and your energy with us and through the ways you give meaning to the industry, the ways that you make changes that have ongoing positive impacts, the ways you change the very shape of the industry to meet the demands and the challenges of the 21st century and beyond.”
Well done, all!

- From tourism researcher M.Shirazi: “According to research by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), the global Travel & Tourism industry will grow by 2.8% in 2012, marginally faster than the global rate of economic growth, predicted to be 2.5%. This rate of growth means that Travel & Tourism industry is expected to directly contribute $2 trillion to the global economy and sustain some 100.3 million jobs. When the wider economic impacts of the industry are taken into account, Travel & Tourism is forecast to contribute some $6.5 trillion to the global economy and generate 260 million jobs – or 1 in 12 of all jobs on the planet”
