The Tourism Satellite Account

The Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) is a specialized statistical tool that measures the economic impact of tourism on a country's economy. It captures the value of goods and services consumed by visitors, such as lodging, food, transportation, and entertainment, and shows how tourism contributes to gross domestic product (GDP), employment, and investment. By providing a clear picture of tourism’s role, the TSA helps policymakers and businesses understand the sector’s significance and supports informed decision-making for sustainable growth.
