Domestic and Foreign tourists are important in contributing to the performance of tourism sector of a country. In Tourism Sector, normally DOMESTIC tourist or FOREIGN tourist contribute more to the sector's performnce?. Domestic VS Foreign tourist? What is the experience of your country?
In the United States. , domestic tourism is a major contributor to the economy of most of the 50 states and territories. The international tourism has expanded in Europe but has shrunk in the United States. In the year 2017, an estimated 1.32 billion tourists, an increase of 7 percent since 2010. The U.S. and Turkey has experienced a significant decline in international tourism in the recent years.
Dear Dr. Rafiq,
I think that foreign tourists contribute more to the development of the tourism sector. They bring with them foreign currencies that contribute to development of the economy of our countries.

In Luxembourg, foreign tourism contributes by far more largely to the sector’s performance due to early European History in which Luxembourg is naturally embedded.
Foreign tourists bring foreign exchange I.e. dollars, pounds and Euros to the country. Foreign tourists are seasonal so we need domestic tourists to counteract the effect of seasonal decline in in flux.
In my country, foreign tourists contribute more to tourism, especially religious tourism.
Tourism is a national treasure that must be maintained and used well
Foreign tourists can contribute more to the development of the tourism sector. I am working as a translator for Korean poet Seok-Nam Jang and future nursing students (translating a textbook from English to Korean). I come to realization how important a translator fully understands the context of the language/culture when selecting a right word/phrase/sentence. As such, I think that a foreign tourists can more contribute to the travel industry.
Its always foreigners who contribute the most to the tourist sector's performance.
It depends of the country, number of population, economy, traditions. Normally domestic tourism should contribute more as in all developed countries. If the country / population is small as in touristic islands, Luxembourg, Gibraltar etc. foreign incomes contribute more.
Agree with you Ilie Rotariu. It depends on many factors. As you said for example, small countries may depend more on foreign tourists.
It all depends on the subject geographical scale of consideration, the source of visitors, their expenditures, what they spend money on and the number of visitors, and finally how you define economic impact. So the answer, or more properly, my response is idiosyncratic to the situation. There is quite a bit of literature out there, it will take a bit of searching, but other responses are there.
I also agree with Ilie Rotariu. It depends on a range of factors, a type/category of tourism should specifically be considered. I would suggest you to narrow the question and make it more focused, it is too generic at the moment
Foreign tourists may be contributed more to the development of tourism sector, especially for developing countries which depending on tourism as a major source for hard currencies.
