Total Tourism-Related Output. In the first quarter of 2007, total current-dollar tourism-related
output of $1.3 trillion consisted of $717.9 billion of direct tourism output – output of goods and
services sold directly to visitors and $546.4 billion of indirect tourism-related output – output of goods
and services used to produce what visitors buy.
Total Tourism-Related Employment. In the fourth quarter of 2006 (the most recent period for which
data are available), total tourism-related employment of 8.6 million consisted of 5.9 million direct
tourism jobs – jobs where workers produce goods and services sold directly to visitors and 2.7 million
indirect tourism-related jobs – jobs where workers produce goods and services used to produce what
visitors buy.
The estimates released today reflect the annual revision to the Travel and Tourism Satellite Accounts.
All estimates beginning with the first quarter of 1998 are updated and revised to incorporate newly
available source data and the following three improvements:
•
•
•

The coverage of traveler accommodations has been broadened to include the value of
vacation home rentals.
The methodology used to estimate the consumption of gasoline by travel and tourism activity
has been improved
The treatment of commissions on foreign (inbound) travel and tourism has been made
consistent with the treatment of commissions on outbound travel and tourism.

For more information see the June 2007 Survey of Current Business, Paul V. Kern and Edward A.
Kocis, “U.S. Travel and Tourism Satellite Accounts For 1998-2006,”

Definitions
Direct tourism output. Direct tourism output comprises all output consumed by visitors (e.g., traveler
accommodations, passenger air transportation, souvenirs).
Indirect tourism-related output. Indirect tourism-related output comprises all output used as inputs in
the process of producing direct tourism output (e.g., toiletries for hotel guests, the various ingredients
used to make the meals served airline passengers, and the plastic used to produce souvenir key chains).
Indirect tourism-related output is estimated using commodity-by-commodity output multipliers from the
Current Industry Analysis Division.
Total tourism-related output. Total tourism-related output is the sum of direct tourism output and
indirect tourism-related output.
Direct tourism employment. Direct tourism employment comprises all jobs where the workers are
engaged in the production of direct tourism output (e.g., hotel staff, airline pilots, and souvenir sellers).
Indirect tourism-related employment. Indirect tourism-related employment comprises all jobs where
the workers are engaged in the production of indirect tourism-related output (e.g., employees of
companies that produce toiletries for hotel guests, the various ingredients used to make the meals served
airline passengers, and the plastic used to produce souvenir key chains). Indirect tourism-related

employment is estimated using industry-by-industry employment multipliers from the Regional Economic
Analysis Division.
Total tourism-related employment. Total tourism-related employment is the sum of direct tourism
employment and indirect tourism-related employment.

These estimates are from the Travel and Tourism Satellite Accounts (TTSAs), which are supported by funding
from the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce. The current-price estimates of direct tourism output were derived from BEA’s annual TTSAs
(revised in June 2007) and current-dollar quarterly estimates of personal consumption expenditures from the
NIPAs. The constant-price estimates of direct tourism output were developed using price indexes from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and constant-price quarterly estimates of personal consumption expenditures
from the NIPAs. The estimates of direct tourism employment were derived from the annual TTSAs (revised
in June 2007) and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages from BLS. Employment data are
available five to six months after the end of the reference quarter.
Quarterly estimates are expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, unless otherwise specified. Percent
changes are calculated from unrounded data and annualized. “Real” estimates are in chained (2000) dollars.
Price indexes are chain-type measures. Growth in overall U.S. employment is calculated using BLS Total
nonfarm employment from Current Employment Statistics, www.bls.gov/ces/home.htm#data.
