- Production and exports rely mainly on services: "tourism, international financial services, shipping, and oil refining."
- "Exports and domestic consumer spending, both private and public, drove the economic recovery."
Drivers of the tourism sector's strong performance
- "Economic growth in the United States" contributed to stronger tourism demand.
