here is what tourism could do to Haiti economy: A simple tourism impact scenario illustrates. Let’s say a region attracts an additional 100 tourists, each spending $100 per day. That’s $10,000 in new spending per day in the area. If sustained over a 100 day season, the region would accumulate a million dollars in new sales. The million dollars in spending would be distributed to lodging, restaurant, amusement and retail trade sectors in proportion to how the visitor spends the $100. Perhaps
30% of the million dollars would leak out of the region immediately to cover the costs of goods purchased by tourists that are not made in the local area (only the retail margins for such items should normally be included as direct sales effects). The remaining $700,000 in direct sales might yield $350,000 in income within tourism industries and support 20 direct tourism jobs. Tourism industries are labor and income intensive, translating a high proportion of sales into income and corresponding jobs (Stynes, 1998).Now, Imagine if the Haitian living outside of Haiti, would go to Haiti every year for vacation. What that could and would do for the economy of Haiti. Let's see, Economic benefits and costs of tourism reach virtually everyone in the region in one way or another. How is that, Tourism activity also involves economic costs, including the direct costs incurred by tourism businesses, government costs for infrastructure to better serve tourists, as well as congestion and related costs borne by individuals in the community. positive benefit for Haiti, if we were to take are tourism dollars to Haiti, every year: Tourists contribute to sales, profits, jobs, tax revenues, andReference: https://www.msu.edu/course/prr/840/econimpact/pdf/ecimpvol1.pdf
