Abstract

Tourism satellite accounts (TSAs) have the potential for providing data on national tourism industries that are, for the first time, credible consistent, and coherent with statistics available for traditional industries. However, the development of a TSA requires a commitment of time and money by national governments to develop and analyse the data sources on which a TSA is based. Such commitment is most likely to be made only if tourism industry associations and businesses perceive that a TSA will offer them information of direct benefit. This paper describes the implications and applications of a TSA for Canadian tourism organizations.
