خصائص و أداء القطاع السياحي العربي

الملخص EN

The Arab countries have tourist potential to make them one of the most important destinations at the global level.

Through this research, we have tried to highlight the tourism potential and impediments to its exploitation and its role in the development of the Arab Tourism movement, both in terms human flows (number of tourists) or cash (tourism receipts), in addition to their contribution to job creation and increased national income of the Arab States.

The results of the study indicated that the volume of human and monetary flows of Arab tourism accounted for a small proportion of world tourism compared to other regions.

In addition, there is a disparity in tourism competitiveness between the Arab States and differences in economic importance, whether through contribution to employment, exports or gross domestic product (GDP).

The study also contained a set of proposals that could be followed so that Arab tourism could have an important place in the economic and social development of Arab States.
