“FDI is one of the routes through which developing countries can carry out tourism, but the dynamics of FDI in this dynamic sector, and its implications, have been relatively little studied. There is very little empirical information about the extent of tourism-related FDI in the global economy or its overall impact. Because tourism is an industry that needs to be managed carefully, with or without FDI, and because FDI poses special challenges and concerns, this report aims to provide information and analyses that will assist policy-makers to design policies that most support their development objectives and strategies.”
