Tourist Expenditure

Tourist expenditure refers to the total amount of money spent by visitors on goods and services during their trip to a destination. This includes expenses like accommodation, transportation, food, entertainment, souvenirs, and guided tours. It is a key indicator of a region’s tourism industry health, reflecting how much visitors contribute to the local economy. Higher tourist expenditure often supports local businesses, creates jobs, and boosts economic growth. Measuring this helps governments and businesses plan development, promote destinations, and understand tourism’s impact on community prosperity.
