They predict that by 2032, the sector’s contribution to GDP could reach nearly 7.4% of the total economy. As a significant employer, the travel and tourism sector is also expected to create more than 800,000 jobs over the next decade, to reach more than 1.9 million by 2032. And not all contributors to this sector are conventional. Some are, as you can see, jewelry designers who have a passion for the city.

This air access is key to ensure the city recovers in a post Covid world where the choice for travel will be increasingly competitive.
