For more than 20 years the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has been investing in economic impact research, which assesses the Travel & Tourism industry’s contribution to GDP and jobs. Our ten-year forecasts are unique in the information they provide to assist governments and private companies plan for the future.
Travel & Tourism continues to be one of the world’s largest industries. The total impact of the industry means that, in 2011, it contributed 9% of global GDP, or a value of over US$6 trillion, and accounted for 255 million jobs. Over the next ten years this industry is expected to grow by an average of 4% annually, taking it to 10% of global GDP, or some US$10 trillion. By 2022, it is anticipated that it will account for 328 million jobs, or 1 in every 10 jobs on the planet. 2011 was one of the most challenging years ever experienced by the global Travel & Tourism industry. However, our latest research suggests that, despite political upheaval, economic uncertainty and natural disasters, the industry’s direct contribution to world GDP grew by nearly 3% to US$2 trillion and directly generated 1.2 million new jobs. This was supported by a 3% increase in visitor exports to US$1.2 trillion, with almost 3% growth in capital investment, which rose to over US$0.7 trillion. Moreover, while the macroeconomic environment remains very challenging, our latest projections point to continuous growth in the contribution of Travel & Tourism to global GDP and employment. Rising household incomes in emerging economies – not only the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) but increasingly across the rest of Southeast Asia and Latin America – will continue to fuel increased leisure demand. Similarly, growing international trade – particularly from emerging markets – will sustain business travel demand. In developed economies, consumers are likely to remain cautious, especially in European countries where austerity programmes are being implemented. This means that we expect growth in Travel & Tourism’s direct contribution to GDP to remain stable at 3% in 2012. We expect the industry to generate directly over 2 million new jobs, with a 2% increase in visitor exports and 3.5% growth in investment over the year. Rarely over the past 20 years have we been challenged by such economic and political uncertainty as we are seeing now. Our ongoing research underlines the importance of Travel & Tourism as a stabilising force globally – providing jobs, generating prosperity, and facilitating international trade and investment.

WTTC Travel & Tourism Economic Impact 20122
Defining the economiccontribution of Travel & Tourism
Travel & Tourism is an important economic activity in most countries around the world. As well as its direct economic impact, the industry has significant indirect and induced impacts. The UN Statistics Division-approved Tourism SatelliteAccounting methodology (TSA:RMF 2008) quantifies only the direct contribution of Travel & Tourism. But WTTC recognises that Travel & Tourism's total contribution is much greater, and aims to capture its indirect and induced impacts through its annual research.
DIRECT CONTRIBUTIONThe direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP reflects the ‘internal’ spending on Travel & Tourism (total spending within a particular country on Travel & Tourism by residents and non-residents for business and leisure purposes) as well as government 'individual' spending - spending by government on Travel & Tourism services directly linked to visitors, such as cultural (eg museums) or recreational (eg national parks).
The direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP is calculated to be consistent with the output, as expressed in National Accounting, of tourism-characteristic sectors such as hotels, airlines, airports, travel agents and leisure and recreation services that deal directly with tourists.The direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP is calculated from total internal spending by ‘netting out’ the purchases made by the different tourism sectors. This measure is consistent with the definition of Tourism GDP, specified in the 2008 Tourism Satellite Account: Recommended Methodological Framework (TSA: RMF 2008).
TOTAL CONTRIBUTION The total contribution of Travel & Tourism includes its ‘wider impacts’ (ie the indirect and induced impacts) on the economy. The ‘indirect’ contribution includes the GDP and jobs supported by:
Travel & Tourism investment spending – an important aspect of both current and future activity that includes investment activity such as the purchase of new aircraft and construction of new hotels;
Government 'collective' spending, which helps Travel & Tourism activity in many different ways as it is made on behalf of the ‘community at large’ – eg tourism marketing and promotion, aviation, administration, security services, resort area security services, resort area sanitation services, etc;
Domestic purchases of goods and services by the sectors dealing directly with tourists - including, for example, purchases of food and cleaning services by hotels, of fuel and catering services by airlines, and IT services by travel agents.
The ‘induced’ contribution measures the GDP and jobs supported by the spending of those who are directly or indirectly employed by the Travel & Tourism industry.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO CHANGES IN METHODOLOGY BETWEEN 2010 AND 2011, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO COMPARE FIGURES PUBLISHED BY WTTC FROM 2011 ONWARDS WITH THE SERIES PUBLISHED IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

Travel & Tourism's contribution to GDP1
The direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP in 2011 was ALL81.4bn (6.2% of GDP). This is forecast to rise by 5.6% to ALL85.9bn in 2012.This primarily reflects the economic activity generated by industries such as hotels, travel agents, airlines and other passenger transportation services (excluding commuter services). But it also includes, for example, the activities of the restaurant and leisure industries directly supported by tourists.
The direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP is expected to grow by 5.4% pa to ALL145.4bn (7.0% of GDP) by 2022.

Glossary
KEy DEFINITIONSTravel & Tourism – relates to the activity of travellers on
trips outside their usual environment with a duration of less
than one year. Economic activity related to all aspects of
such trips is measured within the research.
Direct contribution to GDP – GDP generated by
industries that deal directly with tourists, including hotels,
travel agents, airlines and other passenger transport
services, as well as the activities of restaurant and leisure
industries that deal directly with tourists. It is equivalent to
total internal Travel & Tourism spending (see below) within
a country less the purchases made by those industries
(including imports). In terms of the UN’s Tourism Satellite
Account methodology it is consistent with total GDP
calculated in table 6 of the TSA: RMF 2008.
Direct contribution to employment – the number
of direct jobs within the Travel & Tourism industry. This is
consistent with total employment calculated in table 7 of the
TSA: RMF 2008.
Total contribution to GDP – GDP generated directly by
the Travel & Tourism industry plus its indirect and induced
impacts (see below). Total contribution to employment –
the number of jobs generated directly in the Travel &
Tourism industry plus the indirect and induced contributions
(see below).
DIRECT SPENDING IMPACTSVisitor exports – spending within the country by international
tourists for both business and leisure trips, including
spending on transport. This is consistent with total inbound
tourism expenditure in table 1 of the TSA: RMF 2008.
Domestic Travel & Tourism spending – spending within
a country by that country’s residents for both business and
leisure trips. Multi-use consumer durables are not included
since they are not purchased solely for tourism purposes.
This is consistent with total domestic tourism expenditure
in table 2 of the TSA: RMF 2008. Outbound spending by
residents abroad is not included here, but is separately
identified according to the TSA: RMF 2008 (see below).
Government individual spending – government spending
on individual non-market services for which beneficiaries
can be separately identified. These social transfers are
directly comparable to consumer spending and, in certain
cases, may represent public provision of consumer
services. For example, it includes provision of services in
national parks and museums.
Internal tourism consumption – total revenue generated
within a country by industries that deal directly with
tourists including visitor exports, domestic spending and
government individual spending. This does not include
spending abroad by residents. This is consistent with
total internal tourism expenditure in table 4 of the TSA:
RMF 2008.
Business Travel & Tourism spending – spending
on business travel within a country by residents and
international visitors.
Leisure Travel & Tourism spending – spending on leisure
travel within a country by residents and international visitors.
INDIRECT AND INDuCED IMPACTSIndirect contribution – the contribution to GDP and
jobs of the following three factors:
• Capital investment – includes capital investment spending
by all sectors directly involved in the Travel & Tourism
industry. This also constitutes investment spending by other
industries on specific tourism assets such as new visitor
accommodation and passenger transport equipment, as
well as restaurants and leisure facilities for specific tourism
use. This is consistent with total tourism gross fixed capital
formation in table 8 of the TSA: RMF 2008.
• Government collective spending – general government
spending in support of general tourism activity. This can
include national as well as regional and local government
spending. For example, it includes tourism promotion, visitor
information services, administrative services and other public
services. This is consistent with total collective tourism
consumption in table 9 of TSA: RMF 2008.
• Supply-chain effects – purchases of domestic goods
and services directly by different sectors of the Travel &
Tourism industry as inputs to their final tourism output.
Induced contribution – the broader contribution to
GDP and employment of spending by those who are
directly or indirectly employed by Travel & Tourism.
OThER INDICATORS Outbound expenditure – spending outside the country by
residents on all trips abroad. This is fully aligned with total
outbound tourism expenditure in table 3 of the TSA:
RMF 2008.
Foreign visitor arrivals – the number of arrivals of foreign
visitors, including same-day and overnight visitors (tourists)
to the country.
WTTC Travel & Tourism Economic Impact 201216
In 2011, WTTC refined its methodology for estimating the direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to be fully consistent with the UN Statistics Division-approved 2008 Tourism Satellite Account: Recommended Methodological Framework (TSA:RMF 2008). Some further revisions to the research have been made in 2012 as part of WTTC’s ongoing commitment to align the research with the TSA:RMF 2008. This has involved further benchmarking of country reports to official, published TSAs, including for countries which are reporting data for the first time as well as updates to earlier years. As part of the alignment process we are now also able to isolate and exclude international travel flows related to education. In addition to 181 individual country reports, one world report and 17 covering world regions and sub-regions, we also provide reports with combined results for special economic groupings including, for the first time in 2012, the G20 and SADC.
Special economic groups
G20Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, European Union, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea,Turkey, UK, USA.
