=export growth has been associated with promoting gender equality. many exporting firms that get set up in low- and middle-income countries employ women
tourism:
one of the worlds fastest growing industries worldwide. it represents international trade in services and in 2015 accounted for 7% of the worlds exports in goods and services of GDP
