Internal Tourism

The Supply and Use Table (SUT)
The SUT is a core table in the System of National Accounts which presents by product group, the resources and uses of goods and services for the total economy.
Domestic Tourism Expenditure
Domestic tourism expenditure is the tourism expenditure of a resident visitor within the economy of reference.
Inbound Tourism Expenditure
Inbound tourism expenditure is the tourism expenditure of a non-resident visitor within the economy of reference.
Outbound Tourism Expenditure

Tourism Balance of Trade
Tourism imports comprises goods and services purchased by residents on a trip outside the country whilst tourism exports comprise goods and services purchased by non-residents visitors in the country.
The Tourism balance of trade is defined as tourism exports net of tourism imports.
Gross Output
Gross Output for the tourism sector includes the value of goods and services produced by tourism industries (tourism output) and imported items purchased by tourists.
Intermediate Consumption
Intermediate consumption of industries covers non-durable goods and services used up in the production process.
For this TSA, intermediate consumption of industries (providing the product) has been calculated as a percentage of gross output assuming the same ratios of the SUT.
Valuation
Gross output is valued at basic prices, that is, the amount receivable by the producer exclusive of taxes payable and inclusive of subsidies receivable

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
on the products. Intermediate consumption is at the purchaser’s price, that is, it includes trade margins of wholesalers and retailers as well as additional transport charges payable by the purchaser and non- deductible VAT.
Direct Employment in Tourism Industry
Direct tourism employment is derived by applying the technical ratio (value added of tourism share over value added of the whole industry) to the number of people employed in each industry. This approach produces a value for the number of people in each industry as a result of tourism.
Taxes on Products
Taxes on products are payable on goods and services when they are produced, sold or used. These include excise duties, import duties and Value Added Taxes (VAT)
Taxes on Production
Taxes on production are taxes payable out of the value added of producers. This category of taxes includes taxes levied on property, fixed assets and labour employed. Examples are municipal rates, motor vehicle licenses and business licenses.
Basic Price

Other Specific Definitions
Domestic Tourism Consumption
Domestic tourism consumption is the tourism consumption of a resident visitor within the economy of reference
Durable Consumer Goods
Durable consumer goods are goods that may be used repeatedly or continuously over a period of a year or more, assuming a normal or average rate of physical usage. When acquired by producers, these are considered to be capital goods used for production processes, as is the case of vehicles, computers, etc. When acquired by households, they are considered to be consumer durable goods
Gross Margin
The gross margin of a provider of reservation services is the difference between the value at which the intermediated service is sold and the value accrued to the provider of reservation services for this intermediated service.
Inbound Tourism Consumption
Inbound tourism consumption is the tourism consumption of a non-resident visitor within the economy of reference
Internal Tourism Consumption
Internal tourism consumption is the tourism consumption of both resident and non-resident visitors within the economy of reference. It is the sum of domestic tourism consumption and inbound tourism consumption
National Tourism Consumption
National tourism consumption is the tourism consumption of resident visitors, within and outside the economy of reference. It is the sum of domestic tourism consumption and outbound tourism consumption.
Non-Monetary Indicators
Data measured in physical or other non-monetary units should not be considered a secondary part of a satellite account. They are essential components, both for the information they provide directly and in order to analyse the monetary data adequately

Outbound Tourism Consumption
Outbound tourism consumption is the tourism consumption of a resident visitor outside the economy of reference
Production Account
The production account records the activity of producing goods and services as defined within the System of National Accounts (SNA). Its balancing item, Gross value added, is defined as the value of output less the value of intermediate consumption and is a measure of the contribution to GDP made by an individual producer, industry or sector. Gross value added is the source from which the primary incomes of the SNA are generated and is therefore carried forward into the primary distribution of income account.
Social Transfers in Kind
A special case of transfers in kind is that of social transfers in kind. These consist of goods and services provided by the general government and Non-Profit making Institutions Serving Households (NPISHs) that are delivered to individual households. Health and education services are the prime examples. Rather than provide a specified amount of money to be used to purchase medical and educational services, the services are often provided in kind to make sure that the need for the services is met. (Sometimes the recipient purchases the service and is reimbursed by the insurance or assistance scheme. Such a transaction is still treated as being in kind because the recipient is merely acting as the agent of the insurance scheme)
Total Tourism Internal Demand
Total tourism internal demand is the sum of internal tourism consumption, tourism gross fixed capital formation and tourism collective consumption. It does not include outbound tourism consumption.
Tourism Consumption
Tourism consumption has the same formal definition as tourism expenditure. Nevertheless, the concept of tourism consumption used in the Tourism Satellite Account goes beyond that of tourism expenditure. Actually, besides the amount paid for the acquisition of consumption goods and services, as well as valuables for own use or to give away, for and during tourism trips, which corresponds to monetary transactions (the focus of tourism expenditure), it also includes services associated with vacation accommodation on own account, tourism social transfers in kind and other imputed consumption. These transactions need to be estimated using sources different from information collected directly from the visitors, such as reports on home exchanges, estimations of rents associated with vacation homes, calculations of financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM), etc.
Tourism Ratio
For each variable of supply in the Tourism Satellite Account, the tourism ratio is the ratio between the total value of tourism share and total value of the corresponding variable in the Tourism Satellite Account expressed in percentage form
Tourism Share
Tourism share is the share of the corresponding fraction of internal tourism consumption in each component of supply. For each industry, the tourism share of output (in value), is the sum of the tourism share corresponding to each product component of its output
Tourism Single-Purpose Consumer
Durable Goods
Tourism single-purpose consumer durables is a specific category of consumer durable goods that include durable goods that are used exclusively, or almost exclusively, by individuals while on tourism trips
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
from the purchaser for a unit of a good or service produced as output minus any tax payable, and plus any subsidy receivable, on that unit as a consequence of its production or sale; it excludes any transport charges invoiced separately by the producer.
