it contributes to employment

[alpacinou]

Hello.

Have I used "contribute" correctly and naturally in this sentence?

Tourism contributes to employment in the destination country.

The word is used correctly although I would probably use either "provides" or "supports", remove "to", and follow it with a percentage. We rarely use "the destination country". We'd just name the country.

Tourism provides employment, so it contributes to the country's economy.
