Just before the World Tourism Day celebrations, the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) launched the new Travel and Tourism Power Performance report. The day celebrates the 313 million tourism jobs globally which account for more than a tenth of global GDP. China, the USA and India take up the top three spots followed by Mexico, the UK and Spain. Turkey, Canada and Indonesia complete the top nine, with Australia and the UAE tied for the tenth spot. Another index was created to record the improvement in their performances over a seven-year period. Myanmar tops that ranking followed by Iraq, Georgia and Rwanda. Iceland finds itself 5^th followed by Nicaragua and Qatar. Congo, Armenia and Ivory Coast complete the top ten.
