The Tourism Satellite Account (TSA)

The Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) is a system used to measure the economic impact of tourism within a country's economy. It provides detailed data on how much money tourists spend on various services, such as hotels, restaurants, and attractions. By tracking these expenditures, the TSA helps governments and businesses understand tourism's contribution to economic growth, job creation, and regional development. This information supports better decision-making in policy and investment related to tourism, allowing stakeholders to make informed choices that benefit the economy and enhance the visitor experience.
