New Orleans is a place where people are deliberately undereducated so that they can be a labour class – the economy there is tourism, and one of the only outlets that black males have traditionally been allowed is to play jazz music, y’know? Christian Scott
Dubai’s world class physical infrastructure has already established it as a major player in terms of trade, tourism and as the leading conference and exhibition venue in this part of the world. Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair

Gillian Tans

The travel and tourism industry, it’s just a huge part of our economy. Karen Hughes

The two principal parks in Alaska are Denali and Glacier Bay. Tourism is just overriding the protection of resources that tourists want to see. We have too many tourists in Denali and too many big cruise ships in Glacier Bay. Michael Frome
Great Wass Island Preserve is a 1,579-acre Nature Conservancy jewel, a place of spectacular botanical interest, and Jonesport is situated on a postcard-pretty harbor. Tourism is not serious business in those parts – boat building and fishing are – and there are no signs telling how to get to Great Wass. But I know. Sue Hubbell

Until space tourism is a destination-based business (e.g. flights to a private space station or to the moon), will flyers pay to fly more than once after having earned their astronaut wings? The answer to this is likely very dependent on the experience itself. Dylan Taylor

Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan
I am optimistic about the Philippine future. Yes, the momentum is there. We have to compete in industry and tourism; we’re still weak in industry. We’re good in BPOs and sending workers abroad… I think the future looks good, unless there’s a big recession in the world. John Gokongwei
Tourism provides employment to the poorest of the poor. Gram seller earns something, auto-rickshaw driver earns something, pakoda seller earns something, and tea seller also earns something. Narendra Modi

For the vast majority, the knowledge of Thailand or Sri Lanka acquired through tourism consists of little more than the whereabouts of the beach. Martin Jacques
Medical tourism can be considered a kind of import: instead of the product coming to the consumer, as it does with cars or sneakers, the consumer is going to the product. James Surowiecki

My goal is to make tourism an economic driver and bring jobs to West Virginia. Jim Justice
I am more interested in revolutionary beauty than in the great beauty, to be honest. Italian cinema is now mostly a bureau for tourism. We have given up that revolution of the contemporary. Luca Guadagnino
