With the exception of '3rd world' or really tiny island nations, there aren't many countries in the world where tourism accounts for more than 5-10% (often less) of GDP.
America actually makes the most money from tourism. (so if everyone stopped traveling overseas, the USA would lose the most)
the rankings for income-from-tourism go:
USA
Spain
France
Italy
China
Germany
UK
