| Rationale |
The proposed indicator directly addresses the target’s aim of promoting tourism that creates jobs, and aligns well with overall intent of Goal 8 on economic growth and decent work. Also, “Employed persons in the tourism industries” addresses a critical policy issue that has become increasingly prominent since the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic increased the realization that tourism —and especially its income (indicator 8.9.1) and employment (this indicator, 8.9.2) components — sustains livelihoods, wellbeing and conservation efforts worldwide. It was acknowledged that tourism is especially critical for sustainable development in remote, rural and natural places, and it offers employment opportunities for diverse groups of people.
