Abstract:

Tourism is projected to contribute 10.3 percent of global GDP‒about USD 11.7 trillion‒and support a record 371 million jobs worldwide in 2025. Nature-based tourism drives about 8 billion unique visits each year to protected areas representing 17% of the world's land and 8% of the world's marine areas, making it a significant economic sector. According to the WTTC’s 2025 Economic Impact Research (EIR), international visitors are expected to spend $2.1 trillion in 2025. This will set a new record, exceeding the previous high of $1.9 trillion in 2019 by $164 billion1. However, despite the economic benefits of tourism, it can also harm the environment. These negative effects include damage to ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, and pollution caused by waste. To reduce such problems, ecotourism has become an alternative approach that aims to lower environmental impact while increasing economic benefits for local communities. Urban attractions have always played an important role in tourism. Today, urban design is seen as a way to improve both the ecological and visual quality of cities, making them more attractive and pleasant for visitors. Creating small open spaces near urban parks helps support ecotourism and strengthens the artistic and aesthetic character of a city. These spaces also make the environment more comfortable and appealing for tourists. Adding sculptures and other artistic elements to public areas helps them blend naturally into the city landscape, enriching the overall atmosphere. This study also explores Armenia’s tourism income and expenses, and analyzes how they contribute to GDP per capita when measured by purchasing power parity (PPP).
