","Source: OECD","These projections are based on a business-as-usual scenario, with no major policy changes or abrupt technological or environmental developments. The report was written in 2016. Since that time, the Coronavirus pandemic has hit tourism hard, but there is no reason to think that things won’t get close to how they were expected to be.\n\n[1]  [OECD - The Ocean Economy in 2030 (page 206)](https:\u002F\u002Fgeoblueplanet.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F05\u002FOECD-ocean-economy.pdf)\n\n[2]  [World Bank - Sustainable tourism can drive the blue economy: Investing in ocean health is synonymous with generating ocean wealth](https:\u002F\u002Fblogs.worldbank.org\u002Fvoices\u002FSustainable-Tourism-Can-Drive-the-Blue-Economy)\n","People often overestimate the economic benefit of raw energy sources and new green technology. Most economic growth in the world is happening in service industries, and tourism is one of them. \nFor tourism to continue growing as experts predict, though, the environment needs to be protected. If coral reefs are all dead, ocean water is dirty and beaches have eroded away, there will be little to see for the tourists. The economic value of clean oceans is enormous as the amount of rich people in the future is expected to increase and even more will want to go on beach holidays and cruises.\n\n### Why is it a problem that people are wrong about this?\n\nPeople who don't realize the economic power of service industries like tourism, don’t realize the economic reasons for protecting oceans and coastal areas.\n\n### Why are people wrong about this?\n\nProbably because it's easier to think of energy sources and raw materials as economic resources. The beauty of nature is easily mistaken as a soft value, unrelated to money making. But all consumers are people, and people care a lot about beauty. Across the world, people are ready to pay a lot for experiencing the wonders of nature.  \n\n### Can I trust this fact?\nYes, but it is important to understand that this is just a forecast which means it comes with lots of uncertainty. The future is unpredictable, like the Corona pandemic showed. The forecast comes from a report written in 2016 and it assumes trends were going to continue along the same path.\n","Tourism will make the most marine money","New green energy is often in the news and people tend to overestimate its short term economic potential. Incomes from services like tourism are generally increasing much more."]
