TRAVEL AND TOURISM SPENDING DECELERATED IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2015
Real spending (output) on travel and tourism decelerated in the first quarter of 2015, increasing at an
annual rate of 2.0 percent after increasing 4.9 percent (revised) in the fourth quarter of 2014. By
comparison, real gross domestic product (GDP) turned down, decreasing 0.7 percent (second estimate) in
the first quarter after increasing 2.2 percent.
The leading contributors to the deceleration in the first quarter were “all other transportation-related
commodities” and “food services and drinking places.” “All other transportation-related commodities”
decelerated, increasing 1.9 percent in the first quarter after increasing 13.3 percent in the fourth quarter.
“Food services and drinking places” also decelerated, increasing 2.0 percent after increasing 8.9 percent.
Partially offsetting these decelerations, “passenger air transportation” turned up, increasing 3.9 percent in
the first quarter after decreasing 2.2 percent.

Tourism Prices. Overall growth in prices for travel and tourism goods and services continued to decline
in the first quarter of 2015, decreasing 9.1 percent following a decrease of 4.7 percent (revised) in the
fourth quarter. The continued decline was mainly attributable to a large decrease in “all other
transportation-related commodities,” which includes gasoline; this commodity group decreased 33.4
percent in the first quarter after decreasing 23.5 percent in the fourth quarter.

Tourism Employment. Employment in the travel and tourism industries decelerated, increasing 2.3
percent in the first quarter of 2015 after increasing 2.9 percent (revised) in the fourth quarter. This marks
the 20th consecutive quarter of employment growth in the travel and tourism industries. By comparison,
overall U.S. employment increased 2.2 percent in the first quarter after increasing 2.5 percent in the fourth
quarter. “Food services and drinking places” was the most significant contributor to employment growth,
increasing 4.0 percent in the first quarter.

Total Tourism-Related Output was $1.6 trillion in the first quarter of 2015. It consisted of $905.4
billion (58 percent) of direct tourism spending and $663.2 billion (42 percent) of indirect tourismrelated spending.
Total Tourism-Related Employment was 8.0 million jobs in the first quarter of 2015 and consisted of
5.6 million (70 percent) direct tourism jobs and 2.4 million (30 percent) indirect tourism-related jobs.
Definitions
Tourism spending. Total tourism-related spending consists of direct tourism output and indirect tourism
output. Direct tourism output comprises all domestically produced goods and services purchased by
travelers (for example, traveler accommodations and passenger air transportation). Indirect tourism output
comprises all output required to support the production of direct tourism output (for example, toiletries for
hotel guests and fuel for airplanes).
Tourism employment. Total tourism-related employment consists of direct tourism employment plus
indirect tourism employment. Direct tourism employment comprises all jobs where the workers are
engaged in the production of direct tourism output (for example, hotel staff and airline pilots). Indirect
tourism employment comprises all jobs where the workers are engaged in the production of indirect
tourism output (for example, workers producing hotel toiletries and delivering fuel to airlines).

These statistics are from BEA’s 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 statistics of direct tourism output were derived from BEA’s annual TTSAs and
from current-price quarterly statistics of personal consumption expenditures from the National Income and
Product Accounts (NIPAs). The real statistics of direct tourism output were developed using price indexes from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and real quarterly statistics of personal consumption expenditures from the
NIPAs. The statistics of direct tourism employment were derived from the annual TTSAs (revised in June
2015) from BEA, the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), and Current Employment
Statistics (CES) from BLS.
Quarterly statistics are seasonally adjusted and expressed at annual rates, unless otherwise specified. Percent
changes are calculated from unrounded data and annualized. Real values are in chained (2009) dollars. Price
indexes are Fisher 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.
