Basic term – visitor

A visitor is a traveler
taking a trip to a
main

destination
outside

his/her
usual environment,
for less than a year,
for any main purpose
(business, leisure or
other

personal
purpose) other than
to be employed by a
resident entity in
the country or place
visited.

Why TSA? (1)

TSA, what for?

Value added effects &

Employment

Policy

Statistics

Improving the “visibility” of the
„economic value” of the tourism
industry

More reliable and coherent tourism and
travel statistics system
“Integrated System”

www.statistik.at

slide 5 | 29/30 November 2017

Why TSA? (2)

 Economic aim …

Valued Added

 Calculation of the overall GDP by National Account (NA)

 BUT, NA data do not reflect „Tourism“ as an own sector; i.e. NA data do
not differentiate if shoes are bought by tourists or residents

 NA data are based on Output, Tourism as an sector is defined in the
moment when a tourist is consuming (through Demand )!

Satellite systems: „Data sytems, which should complete NA data by
important social topics.“ Gabler Wirtschaftslexikon

 Satellite systems are mehodologically and conceptionally based on NA
rules (in particular SNA).

= Output – Input

slide 6 | 29/30 November 2017

What is Satellite Accounting in general?



Extension to the “System of National Accounts” (SNA) which allows a
better understanding of the size and role of an activity (such as tourism)
which is usually “hidden” within such accounts.



Satellite accounts provide

 additional information on particular social concerns of a functional
or cross-sector (multidisciplinary) nature (e.g. environment, agri-
culture, tourism);

 the possibility of using of complementary or alternative concepts,
including the use of classifications (when needed) and accounting
frameworks (e.g. TSA);

 further analysis of specific data by means of relevant indicators and
aggregates (e.g. environment);

 linkage of physical data sources (e.g. flows, employment) and
analysis to the monetary accounting system.

slide 7 | 29/30 November 2017

What is Tourism Satellite Accounting? (1)



SNA 2008 (besides environmental accounting and health satellite accounts
(and unpaid household activity)) and ESA 2010 (see Table 22.1, para 22.06)
are proposing to draw up Tourism Satellite Accounts (SNA 2008, para
29.89-29.101; ESA 2010, para 22.123-22.129), for the analysis of the role of
tourism in the national economy, since

SNA 2008 and ESA 2010 do not distinguish between a shoe
purchased by a visitor or by a resident.



THEREFORE:
 Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) integrates supply side and demand
side information figuring out the share of tourism demand related to
the total value added (TSA-Table 6).
 TSA links tourism statistics with macroeconomic analysis.
 TSA highlights the link between domestic, inbound and outbound
(domestic part) tourism and the balance of payments.
 The respective commodities produced by tourism suppliers and
purchased by visitors are included in the core accounts/tables of TSA.

(1) TSA-concept distinguishes between:

(2) Accordingly tourism consumption comprises:

 “Tourism characteristic“,

 “Tourism connected“, and

 “Non-tourism related“ production,

 „Valuables“.

 “Tourism characteristic“ (i.e. accommodation, travel agencies, skiing
lifts),

 “Tourism connected“ (i.e. canteens), and

 “Non-tourism related“ goods and services (i.e. retail trade,
hairdresser), and

 Valuables (paintings, jewelry, etc.; SNA 2008, para.9.57).

Other consumption (RMF 2008)

How is TSA done?

Integration of Supply and Use

•
„Tourism and non-tourism Tourism consumption

•
Consumption“

Supply

Use

„Tourism Industries“?

(Non-visitors take lunch in a
restaurant, visitors are
buying non-tourism
characteristic goods and
services, i.e. clothes)

„Tourism consumption“?

(Visitors, non-usual
environment, main
motivation of the trip,
expenditure)

slide 17 | 29/30 November 2017

Measurement of tourism demand

•
Tourism expenditure related to Inbound Tourism (TSA-Table 1)

Inbound tourism consumption: the tourism consumption of a non-resident
visitor within the country. It includes also goods and services which, which
are produced abroad or provided by non-residents, but sold in the country
(i.e. imported goods and services).

•
Tourism expenditure related to Domestic Tourism (TSA-Table 2)

Domestic tourism consumption: the tourism consumption of a resident
visitor within the country, regardless whether the final destination of the
trip is within the country or abroad. It includes also goods and services
which, which are produced abroad or provided by non-residents, but sold in
the country (i.e. imported goods and services).

•[Tourism expenditure related to Outbound Tourism (TSA-Tabelle 3)

Outbound tourism consumption: the tourism consumption of a resident visitor abroad.]

•
Internal tourism consumption (TSA-Tabelle 4)

Internal tourism consumption includes the tourism consumption of the
inbound and domestic tourism; it also includes services associated with
vacation accommodation on own account, tourism social transfers in kind
and other imputed consumption.

www.statistik.at

slide 18 | 29/30 November 2017

Measurement of tourism supply

•
Production accounts of tourism and other industries (at basic prices;
TSA-Table 5)

Table 5 presents the production accounts of tourism industries
and other industries in the economy of reference. The output is
broken down by product, and is valued at basic prices and
occupies a block of rows in the upper part of the table. Then,
intermediate consumption is presented. The difference between
these two values is called gross value added (GVA) at basic prices.

Domestic supply and internal tourism consumption, by products
(at purchasers’ prices; TSA-Table 6)

Table 6 is the core of the TSA system where the confrontation
and reconciliation between domestic supply and internal tourism
consumption take place.

TSA - Benefits

www.statistik.at

slide 20 | 29/30 November 2017

General benefits of TSA (1)



Describing the size and the economic importance of tourism
compared to the overall economy of a country andenhancing robust
information and indicators on the role tourism is playing and can
play in the economy;



Providing detailed information on visitor consumption, including all
forms of tourism: Inbound, domestic and outbound (domestic part);



Linkingeconomic data and other non-monetary information on
tourism (i.e. physical data such as trips, or employment such as FTE);



Providing a reliable and credible tool necessary for both effective
public policies (e.g. justifying financial support) and efficient
business operations;



Bring new recognition and confidence in tourism as one of the most
important sectors of the economy (e.g. compared to other economic
sectors);

www.statistik.at

slide 21 | 29/30 November 2017

General benefits of TSA (2)



Including all kind of tourism activities, same-day visits, overnight visits,
visits in rented and non-rented accommodation or vacation homes;



Giving greater credibility to tourism statistics (apart from providing
physical data such as nights spent) and to the indicators analyzing the
scale and the significance of tourism as an economic activity;



Providing a rich and informed vision of the “tourism industry” and of its
component activities, beyond the hotel and restaurant sector (i.e. public
transport sector, cultural and recreational/entertainment sector);



Being a prerequisite for the development of research and innovative
methodological approaches, such as forecasting;



Allowing international comparison of results by considering all forms
and kind of tourism activities, including gross-border cooperation with
other countries.

www.statistik.at

slide 22 | 29/30 November 2017



Reconciliation/benchmarking tool regarding demand and supply
related data, considering the quality of the data used (i.e. TSA-Table 6);



Using/combining different data sources as a prerequisite for receiving a
consistent TSA (i.e. NA, business statistics, external data);



Starting point of the documentation and discussion of the meta data
related to the data used compiling TSA (national compilation guide);



Starting point of cooperation between NSI and NTA, Central Bank,
research institutes, and exchange of views with the tourism industry
(i.e. establishment of multi-institutional Working Groups);



Starting point of general considerations related to the tourism statistical
system, including the introduction of best estimates, modeling and
extrapolation methods (e.g. related non-available data);



Starting of discussion related to the quality of the used statistics and
rethinking of the used concepts (e.g. by analysing time-series);



Increasing the public acceptance of tourism statistical data and
justifying new/additional research in this field (i.e. forecasting,
environment/tourism, indicators related to tourism sustainability).

What else (from the compilers´ point of view)?
