The Economic Impact of Travel & Tourism 2013
8/12/2019 United Arab Emirates2013
4/28
The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has been investing in
economic impact research for over 20 years. This research assesses
the Travel & Tourism industrys contribution to GDP and jobs for
184 countries and 24 regions and economic groups in the world.
Our ten-year forecasts are unique in the information they provide
to assist governments and private companies plan policy and
investment decisions for the future.2012 demonstrated again the resilience of the Travel & Tourism industry in the face of continued economic
turmoil, as economic growth slowed and was even negative in key global markets. The latest annual research
from WTTC and our research partner Oxford Economics, shows that Travel & Tourisms contribution to GDP
grew for the third consecutive year in 2012, and created more than 4 million new jobs. The strongest growth
in 2012 was evident in international demand as appetite for travel beyond national borders, from leisure and
business visitors, remains strong.
Travel & Tourisms importance to the wider economy continued to grow in 2012. Its total contribution
comprised 9% of global GDP (US $6.6 trillion) and generated over 260 million jobs 1 in 11 of the worlds
total jobs. The industry outperformed the entire wider economy in 2012, growing faster than other notable
industries such as manufacturing, financial services and retail.
With such resilience in demand and an ability to generate high employment, the importance of Travel &
Tourism as a tool for economic development and job creation is clear. In total, the industry contributed to over
10% of all new jobs created in 2012. Less restrictive visa regimes and a reduction in punitive taxation levels
would help the industry to contribute even more to broader economic development and better fulfil the clear
demand for international travel.
While 2013 will present further challenges for the global economy and the Travel & Tourism industry, we remain
optimistic that Travel & Tourism will continue to grow, outpace growth of the wider economy and remain a
leading generator of jobs.
In the longer-term, demand from and within emerging markets will continue to rise in significance. Destinations
need to be willing to invest in infrastructure suitable for new sources of demand to achieve the clear growthpotential that exists. For example, we forecast that China will overtake the US by 2023 as the worlds largest
Travel & Tourism economy, measured in total GDP terms (2012 prices), and the size of the outbound market.

WTTC Travel & Tourism Economic Impact 20132
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 Satellite
Accounting methodology (TSA:RMF 2008) quantifies only the direct contribution of Travel & Tourism. But WTTCrecognises that Travel & Tourism's total contribution is much greater, and aims to capture its indirect and inducedimpacts through its annual research.
DIRECT CONTRIBUTION
The 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 leisureand recreation services that deal directly with tourists.The direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP is calculatedfrom 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 includesinvestment 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 bytravel agents.
The induced contribution measures the GDP and jobs supported by the spending of those who are directly or indirectlyemployed by the Travel & Tourism industry.

The direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP in 2012 was AED89.7bn (6.6% of GDP). This is forecast to rise
by 4.0% to AED93.3bn in 2013.This primarily reflects the economic activity generated by industriessuch 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.

Glossary
KEY DEFINITIONSTravel & Tourism relates to the activity of travellers ontrips 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 UNs 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 IMPACTS
Visitor exports spending within the country by
international tourists for both business and leisure trips,
including spending on transport, but excluding international
spending on education. 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 countrys residents for both business andleisure 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 spending by
government on Travel & Tourism services directly linked
to visitors, such as cultural (eg museums) or recreational
(eg national parks).
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 has an on-going commitment to align its economic impact research with the UN StatisticsDivision-approved 2008 Tourism Satellite Account: Recommended Methodological Framework (TSA:RMF 2008)and has made small revisions to the research both this year and in 2012, following a full refinement in 2011.This has involved further benchmarking of country reports to official, published TSAs, including for countrieswhich are reporting data for the first time, as well as existing countries reporting an additional years data.New country TSAs incorporated this year were Jordan, Italy and Sweden. As part of the alignment process in2012, international travel expenditure inflows and outflows related to education were excluded from the data.Three new countries have been added in 2013 (Georgia, Iraq and Uzbekistan), bringing the total countriescovered to 184 country reports. Additionally, we also produce a world report and reports on 17 world regionsand sub-regions. This year there are 7 reports for special economic and geographic groups, including, for thefirst time, the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Commonwealth.
