  The Tourism Satellite Account: A Primer

  The Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) has become the preferred method for nations intending to measure the contributions of tourism demand to the national economy consistent with other countries and the standards promulgated by the World Tourism Organization and the United Nations Statistical Commission. This paper is an introduction the structure

  assumptions

  definitions and classifications of the TSA to aid non-economists in understanding its functions and measures.

  The Tourism Satellite Account: A Primer

  Tourism multipliers indicate the total increase in output

  \nlabor earnings

  and employment through interindustry linkages in a region as a result of tourism expenditures. The\nRIMS II regional input-output model was employed to estimate\nthe multiplier effects of visitor expenditures in Washington

  \nD.C. Both normal multipliers and ratio multipliers are analyzed

  and the latter is found to be a more reliable indicator\nof total impact on earnings and employment in the city. A\ncomparison of the multipliers for 37 industry sectors and the\ntourism multiplier in the city finds that the latter ranks relatively high for earnings and employment

  but low for output.

  Estimating the Multiplier Effects of Tourism Expenditures on a Local Economy through a Regional Input-Output Model

  The Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) is the authoritative source of the direct contributions of tourism demand to national economies. As such

  it has been a groundbreaking development for understanding tourism as an economic activity in the same terms that

  for example

  manufacturing or agriculture are understood. However

  as it is an economic account

  the TSA is not designed to generate all of the economic impact variables that policy-makers may need. Additional macroeconomic analysis tools can be used to extend the understanding of tourism’s impact on national economies (including indirect and induced effects): Input-output Models

  Social Accounting Matrices

  and Computable General Equilibrium models. This paper discusses the advantages and limitations of each of these

  and provides recommendations on when to use each tool as the optimum technique in tourism economic analysis. Finally

  it lists constraints and recommends principles for a UNWTO-approved methodology for regional TSAs.

  The Economic Impact of Tourism: Overview and Examples of Macroeconomic Analysis

  This book explores 12 methods of forecasting tourism demand that require no more than a spreadsheet program. It explains how to plan a forecasting project

  analyze time series and other information

  select the appropriate forecasting model

  employ the model to generate forecasts

  and evaluate its results. More than 40 brief case studies supplement the text.
