Commission of the European Communities Tourism satellite account
recommended methodological framework
Gedrukt boek
The fundamental structure of the tourism satellite account recommendations is based on the general balance existing within an economy between the demand for products generated by tourism and their supply. The idea behind the construction of a tourism satellite account is to analyse in detail all the aspects of demand for goods and services which might be associated with tourism within the economy; to observe the operational interface with the supply of such goods and services within the same economy of reference; and to describe how this supply interacts with other economic activities. The contained recommendations in the present publication provide a framework which countries can use for constructing a tourism satellite account and more generally should permit greater international comparability in tourism statistics
