By facilitating visas, the G20 countries stand to gain 5 million jobs at a time of rampant unemployment across the world. These are in addition to the hundreds of millions of direct and indirect jobs already being supported every day by the sector," he said.In the presence of Mexican President Felipe Calderon the tourism ministers from 27 countries, plus seven international organizations, Scowsill said that an investigation developed by industry experts said that in 2011, about 110 million people were discouraged from traveling cost, waiting time and the difficulty of obtaining a visa.The WTTC study indicated that in 2011, the number of international tourists from G20 countries totaled 656 million.Scowsill said that despite the great progress made in the decades to facilitate tourist travel, there are still important areas of opportunity, that is, maximize the use technology of information and communication in improving visa procedures."Encouraging freedom to travel is a simple step that governments around the world can take to encourage more travelers and the creation of millions of new jobs and billions of dollars of GDP -- without compromising national security," he said.
