The World Travel &amp; Tourism Council (WTTC), which represents the private tourism sector, published its latest forecasts at its 26th Global Summit in La Valletta (Malta). Travel spending for business purposes is up by 4.2 % in Europe, compared to 3.1 % for leisure purposes. International visitor spending on the continent would, however, increase by 5.8 %. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-quote\"><blockquote><p><em>This is an industry ready to invest and innovate, but governments must create the right conditions: facilitate mobility, strengthen connectivity, develop talent and support sustainable growth.<\/em><\/p><cite>Gloria Guevara, CEO of the WTTC<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sector as a whole is following the same trend. It is expected to grow by 3.1 % in Europe, after a 2.6 % increase last year, which is faster than the overall economy. On a global scale, the increase would be 2.5 %. Tourism also represents about one in ten jobs in Europe. \u00ab <em>Travel and tourism continue to show remarkable resilience<\/em> \u00bb, believes Gloria Guevara, President and CEO of the WTTC.
