Fortunately, travel is bouncing back in a big way this summer, which is excellent news for the destinations around the world that rely on tourism the most. A recent study conducted by the team of travel experts at luggage storage app Bounce reveals the countries and territories most reliant on tourism when it comes to its contribution to GDP and employment. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many of these tourist-friendly places have a lot in common, including phenomenal climates and quintessential vacation attractions like white-sand beaches and crystal clear waters.
