As a result, the industry has become increasingly important for many developing countries as traditional destinations are being augmented by destinations in developing countries for people seeking out new places. This guide focuses primarily on general resources which cover the travel and tourism industry as a whole, both in the United States and abroad, rather than on sources specific to individual segments of the industry. If you have any further questions, please Ask A Librarian.
