The development of certain industries in different countries is related to many factors, including natural resources, available work force, level of education and more. Natural resources play a very important role in the development of certain industries. Some countries rely a lot on the oil, natural gas, coal, mineral and forest industries. Agriculture, services, manufacturing, food, chemicals – these are only a few of the industries that can play a very important role in a country’s well-being.
The tourism/travel industry can also be a big player. It is also related to the hotel, hospitality and transport industries, and in some countries it is a driving force of the economy. Some countries that benefit a lot from tourism are France, Spain, Italy, Turkey and Thailand. You’ve definitely thought about visiting them yourself, right? Book a flight now!
