Industry leaders urge coherent tourism, trade, security policies
According to the ICAO-sponsored Industry High Level Group (IHLG), by 2034, the aviation industry will provide 99m jobs and generate US$5.9t in GDP, a 122% increase over 2014. But if traffic growth were to slow by only 1% annually, the total number of jobs supported by the air transport sector would fall over 10%, more than 10m jobs, and the air transport sector’s contribution to world GDP would decrease approximately 12%, or $690b. With sustenance of current growth trends in mind, IHLG released its 2017 Aviation Benefits report to coincide with World Tourism Day (Sept 27), recommending a 7-point check list to maximise the benefits of aviation. ICAO said the report is aimed mainly at govt ministers and national planners to provide overviews of related investment and partnership priorities to be pursued. <br/>
