This Report aims to inform policy makers and businesses in the Latin American and Caribbean region about the economic risks and opportunities of undertaking productive activities that impact on and are influenced by biodiversity and ecosystem services (ES). The Report is a tool to assist governments and stakeholders in analyzing the role of ES in order to incorporate these services into economic planning, policy and investment at the sectoral level.

LAC accounts for about 5% of the world tourism market, earning $9 billion in 2007 from international tourism, with growth rates on the order of 4.5% (2010) — higher than those of most of the rest of the world. Tourism’s input to GDP ranges from about 2% in South America to almost 20% in the Caribbean. The tourism sector includes the conventional recreational (sun and sand) tourism, and the burgeoning nature-focused category, in which tourists spend more per stay and have a greater multiplier effect in local economies.
