Q2 <3 ➡️Travel & Tourism is a key sector for economic development and job creation throughout the world
EXAMPLE :) ➡️Changi Airport's Budget Terminal was closed down in September 2012 to make a way for the construction of terminal 4, which officially opened in October 2017. Terminal 4 raised airport's total capacity to 82 million passengers per year, compared to only 73 million in 2013. Singapore has ordered $50 billion worth of aircraft and in order to expand,the airports have to have enough capacity to bring in such volume of tourist.
