TRAVEL Examination of the travel and tourism industry provides key insights into the process of globalization. The transportation sector is one of the world's largest industries and includes the movement of people and materials via airplanes, boats, warehouses, pipelines, trucks, etc., and the logistical services that support this movement. In the US, the transportation industry employs about 16% of all of the nation's workers (Plunkett Research, Ltd, 2005/6) and at the end of the 20th century, it accounted for 10% of all jobs globally (The International Ecotourism Society, 2000). Tourism can be defined as travel for recreational, business, academic or other personal purposes and the provision of services for either type of travel. There are two main bodies that govern, investigate, and monitor global tourism: the World Tourism Organization (WTO), which is part of the United Nations, and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). The WTO defines a tourist as someone who travels at least 50 miles from their home.
