World tourism becomes biggest business in world
The National Geographic Society reports Americans travel faster and spend more than ever. About 130 million Americans spend $40 billion yearly seeking sun and fun abroad, with nearly a million crossing the Atlantic last year in what is called the largest mass movement in history. Tourism now exceeds wheat as the world’s largest business, earning more than any single export in Austria, Italy, Spain, Mexico and Nepal.
