Abstract

Foreign tourism is one of the largest industries in the world today. While foreign tourism has been growing steadily in India, it still has a large unexploited potential for further growth. Tourism growth has implications for employment, as tourism generates employment at all skill levels. This paper attempts to estimate total direct employment generated in India by foreign tourism. Estimating employment or output of the tourism sector is complicated by the fact that tourism is a composite sector. Further, since the same sectors and sub-sectors cater to tourists and non-tourists there is the problem of apportionment of estimates between the two. This paper uses a simple and innovative method of employment coefficients to arrive at estimates of employment generated foreign tourism in India.
