Abstract

The tourism industry is a strategic sector that plays a crucial role in supporting a country's economic growth through its contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The development of the tourism sector not only provides a direct economic impact through travel activities but also creates a multiplier effect on various supporting sectors such as transportation, accommodation, culinary, trade, and the creative industry. This study aims to analyze the contribution of the tourism industry to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and understand the role of the tourism sector in driving economic growth and community welfare. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method with a literature study approach through data collection from various secondary sources such as government reports, statistical publications, scientific journals, and documents related to the development of the tourism industry. The results show that the tourism industry has a significant contribution to GDP through increased economic activity, job creation, increased community income, and the development of other business sectors. In addition, the tourism sector also plays a role in driving regional economic development by utilizing local potential and increasing the attractiveness of tourist destinations. However, optimizing tourism's contribution still requires a sustainable development strategy through improving the quality of infrastructure, human resources, digital innovation, and destination management that takes into account economic, social, and environmental aspects. Thus, the tourism industry has a strategic position as one of the main drivers of economic growth and improving people's welfare.
