Difficulty: EasyTourism and Its Contributions to Trade

Match each tourism-related activity on the left with its primary commercial contribution to the economy on the right.

  • Building modern highways, airports, and hotels to support international touristsInfrastructural Development
  • Direct spending by foreign visitors on local dining, lodging, and guided toursInvisible Trade / Foreign Exchange Earnings
  • Staffing local resort facilities, cultural sites, and travel booking agenciesJob and Employment Creation
  • Levying visa application fees, airport departure taxes, and park entrance tariffsGovernment Revenue Generation

Answer

Building transport and lodging facilities matches Infrastructural Development; Direct spending by foreign visitors matches Invisible Trade / Foreign Exchange Earnings; Staffing hospitality and travel facilities matches Job and Employment Creation; Levying visa fees and taxes matches Government Revenue Generation.
Each tourism activity corresponds directly to a distinct commercial contribution: facility construction builds physical infrastructure, foreign visitor spending generates foreign exchange through invisible exports, staffing creates jobs for local labor, and visa fees directly fund government revenues.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary economic character of each activity listed on the left.
Physical construction relates to capital infrastructure; foreign visitor spending yields foreign currency; staffing creates positions for labor; statutory fees yield government income.
Tourism acts as an auxiliary to trade by stimulating multiple sectors of the economy.
2
Pair each activity with its corresponding contribution category.
Physical facility construction pairs with Infrastructural Development; foreign expenditure pairs with Invisible Trade Earnings; staffing pairs with Employment Creation; fee collection pairs with Government Revenue.
Matching each economic input to its primary macro/micro benefit clarifies tourism's role in commercial development.
