Tourists do have to pay for their visa to get into a particular country. However, the rest of their expenses typically comprise travel expenditure, accommodation, food, payments to translators and guides, purchasing tickets to visit heritage sites, purchasing reference books and even souvenirs, among other things. This influx of money helps in the growth of a country's economy and provides the population of that area with employment opportunities.
