Economic Dependence on Tourism refers to a situation in which a region, country, or local economy relies heavily on tourism as a primary source of income, employment, and economic growth. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent in destinations where tourism contributes a disproportionate share of gross domestic product (GDP), foreign exchange earnings, and job opportunities. While tourism can drive development and prosperity, an overreliance on this sector exposes economies to significant vulnerabilities, including seasonal fluctuations, external shocks, and structural imbalances.
