THE WORLD TRAVEL & TOURISM COUNCIL (WTTC), WHICH IS THE BUSINESS LEADERS FORUM FOR TRAVEL & TOURISM, HAS SPENT 20 YEARS DEVELOPING ITS ECONOMIC IMPACT RESEARCH FOR THE BENEFIT OF TRAVEL & TOURISM DECISIONMAKERS WHETHER IN THE PRIVATE OR PUBLIC SECTOR. THIS COMPREHENSIVE RESEARCH USES THE FRAMEWORK OF TOURISM SATELLITE ACCOUNTS.
Since full Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSAs) take considerable time and resources to develop, WTTC produces simulated TSAs on an annual basis, covering 181 countries, in order to provide reliable and comparable information to assess Travel & Tourisms current and likely future contribution to economic activity and employment. Timeliness is one of the main strengths of our research. In the critical post-crisis recovery phase currently underway, it can inform and help drive urgent policy-making and investment decisions.
Our 2010 research, again produced in co-operation with Oxford Economics, assesses the economic impact of Travel & Tourism for the 181 countries, as well as for the world overall. It measures spending on Travel & Tourism by households, businesses, governments, overnight and same-day visitors, in order to capture fully the economic contribution of both domestic and international tourism, thereby quantifying Travel & Tourisms contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) and employment. In line with the trend in other sectors in 2009, Travel & Tourism activity was hit hard by the credit and housing market collapses experienced in many countries, with households cutting back on leisure travel and corporations reducing business travel budgets.The impact on Travel & Tourism investment was also significant.Yet even though Travel & Tourism activity was so depressed, it still employed over 235 million people across the world last year, generating 9.4% of global GDP. Although there are signs that the global economy has moved into a recovery phase, we are expecting the pick-up in developed economies a key source of Travel & Tourism Demand in the short term to be gradual, with both corporations and households continuing to reconsider travel plans and to limit expenditure. Nevertheless, despite the current blip in growth trends, our research confirms that prospects for the longer term remain positive. Over the next ten years, Travel & Tourism will continue to grow in importance as one of the worlds highest-priority sectors and employers. Emerging economies will of course be the main engines of our forecast growth, both in terms of domestic and international Travel & Tourism. But an increasing focus on leisure in developed economies should stimulate travel demand, even in mature markets, boosted by industry innovation in creating new sustainable products and services. In anticipation of these better times ahead, we are delighted to present you with the 2010 Executive Summary of WTTCs Travel & Tourism: Economic Impact.

In order to quantify the economic impact of Travel & Tourism, we use the framework of a Tourism Satellite Account (TSA). Our estimates are based on demand-side analysis of Travel & Tourism's impact on economic activity, since the sector does not produce or supply a homogeneous product or service like traditional industries (agriculture, electronics, steel, etc).

Methodological Note
Recent years have provided a clear demonstration of the complex environment in which Travel & Tourism operates, confirming the critical importance of timely information for policy- and decision-makers. And future developments will no doubt serve to reinforce this argument. This explains why the economic impact research developed by WTTC and its partner Oxford Economics, which was designed to adapt to the changing needs of the Travel & Tourism industry and government leaders in the light of the fast-changing operating environment, is therefore an essential tool whether for private- or public-sector decision-makers. This comprehensive and comparative measure of the economic impact of Travel & Tourism developed by WTTC, which is highlighted in the Executive Summary and in the accompanying 181 individual country reports, is based on simulated Tourism Satellite Accounting (TSA) methodology. The methodology is analogous to that used for the production of national income accounts, following the key concepts of Tourism Satellite Accounting contained in the latest (2008) United Nations' Recommended Methodological Framework (RMF). The RMFs Tourism Direct Gross Domestic Product (TDGDP) measure is broadly equivalent to the Travel & Tourism Direct Industry measures given by WTTC/Oxford Economics. Adding to this direct industry measure the value-added created indirectly in the industry's supply chain, plus investment and collective government and non-visitor export spending, one arrives at the broadest measure of the economic impact of Travel & Tourism Travel & Tourism Economy GDP.
