Significance of Airport in Tourism Industry

While it is common knowledge that airports are catalysts for tourism growth and key to a country’s national and international trade relations, they are still often seen as ultimately serving those who can afford to fly – the wealthiest in any society.

A recurring topic in the industry, this dichotomy is now more than ever in the public domain thanks to the unstoppable rise of social media platforms.

In March this year, the topic sparked fresh controversy on Twitter, in a series of threads involving the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). With several users questioning the claim that aviation drives sustainable growth given the huge carbon footprint of flying, the ICAO responded that, “international flight lifts communities out of poverty.”

The claim is a bold one, which if true will go a long way to establishing positive credentials for the role of airports in sustainability. Can aviation really help drive sustainable growth or is it destined to remain an elite service?

The democratisation of mobility

According to Haldane Dodd, head of communications at the Air Transport Action Group, a non-profit organisation representing all sectors of aviation, the answer is a no-brainer: the industry’s positive impact goes far beyond serving the wealthy.

Directly employing over ten million people worldwide and supporting another 55 million jobs between supply chain and tourism, Dodd explains that aviation has given growth opportunities to all types of communities – both locals and travellers.

“Poverty reduction is a cross-cutting issue.”
