There is growth predicted for the tourism sector in Saudi Arabia in 2015, a highly significant announcement in a country not typically associated with tourism but instead oil. Tourism is estimated to be capable of providing 5.4% of growth to the Arabian non-oil Gross Domestic Product in 2015. The positive predictions do not just apply to the coming year either – as the percentage is set to rise as high as 5.7% by 2020. In turn, this suggests that the country is undergoing a constructive period of economic diversification and is increasingly an attractive economic opportunity.

Recent statistics show that increasing numbers of British workers are at risk of exhaustion and burn-out due to the amount of time they spend in activities linked to work. The number of people putting in more than 48 hours a week has risen to 13% of the total workforce, a figure up by 15% from 2010. Working 48 hours a week or more can cause problems, not only for the health and wellbeing of employees, but also their social and personal lives. The findings were made by the Trade Union Congress which concluded that whilst the number of people working such long hours declined a few years ago, it now appears on the rise again.

There are positive predictions for the future of French tourism at the moment, especially as the country moves along with its recently-allocated role as member of the executive council in the World Tourism Organisation. This emphasizes that France is increasingly being recognised as both a popular destination with tourists as well as a country where tourism plays a significant role in profits and industry. Well-recognised for its sites of historic and cultural interest, as well as natural beauty, it is perhaps no surprise that France has been elected by a large majority to an executive council position. After all, it is a founding member of the World Tourism Organisation itself.

A £1bn company investment has been recently announced by Park Resorts and Parkdean Holidays – two of the biggest holiday park operators in the country – as they plan a merger.

According to the State Tourism Development Office in Sri Lanka, the country is aiming to target 4 million tourists by 2020.
