You don’t need to be directly receiving tourist dollars to benefit economically from tourism. Tourism can inject a significant amount of money into the local economy, which then circulates and supports business and employment outside of tourism.
(Of course, not all tourism is equal. Day visitors from cruise lines spend little money onshore, for example.)
