===Tourism=== {{Further|Tourism in El Salvador}} [[File:Palms El Salvador.JPG|thumb|Tropical beach at La Libertad]] It was estimated that 1,394,000 international tourists visited El Salvador in 2014. Tourism contributed US$2970.1 million to El Salvador's GDP in 2019. This represented 11% of total GDP.<ref name="wttc.org">{{cite web |url=https://wttc.org/Research/Economic-Impact |title=Economic Impact Reports |website=wttc.org |access-date=13 December 2020 |archive-date=10 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201210140834/https://wttc.org/Research/Economic-Impact |url-status=live }}</ref> Tourism directly supported 80,500 jobs in 2013. This represented 3.1% of total employment in El Salvador. In 2019, tourism indirectly supported 317,200 jobs, representing 11.6% of total employment in El Salvador.<ref name="wttc.org" /> Most North American and European tourists seek out El Salvador's beaches and nightlife. El Salvador's tourism landscape is slightly different from those of other Central American countries. Because of its geographic size and urbanization there are not many nature-themed tourist destinations such as ecotours or archaeological sites open to the public. Nonetheless, El Salvador remains best known for its beaches and volcanoes. The most frequently visited beaches include El Tunco, Punta Roca, El Sunzal, El Zonte beach, La Costa del Sol, El Majahual, and La Libertad beach. The most hiked volcanoes are Santa Ana and Izalco.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Luna |first1=Mar |title=10 Volcanoes to Hike in El Salvador |url=https://www.spanish.academy/blog/10-volcanoes-to-hike-in-el-salvador/ |website=Homeschool Spanish Academy |date=13 November 2021 |access-date=6 March 2023 |archive-date=6 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230306215120/https://www.spanish.academy/blog/10-volcanoes-to-hike-in-el-salvador/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=12 Places to visit in El Salvador.
