TRAVEL AND TOURISM SPENDING DECELERATED IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2015

Real spending (output) on travel and tourism decelerated in the fourth quarter of 2015, increasing at an
annual rate of 1.7 percent after increasing 4.5 percent (revised) in the third quarter of 2015. Real gross
domestic product (GDP) also decelerated, increasing 1.0 percent in the fourth quarter (second estimate)
after increasing 2.0 percent. For the year, travel and tourism spending grew 4.4 percent after increasing
3.1 percent in 2014.
The leading contributors to the deceleration in the fourth quarter were “transportation” and “traveler
accommodations.” Real spending on “transportation” decelerated, growing 1.0 percent in the fourth
quarter, after increasing 8.5 percent in the third quarter. Real spending on “traveler accommodations”
turned down, decreasing 4.2 percent after increasing 4.0 percent in the previous quarter.

Tourism Prices. Price growth for travel and tourism goods and services fell at an increasing
rate in the fourth quarter of 2015, decreasing 1.5 percent following a decrease of 0.2 percent
(revised) in the third quarter. The larger decrease was mainly attributable to “all other
transportation-related commodities,” which includes gasoline, travel arrangements and
reservation services, and automotive rental. This commodity group decreased 9.0 percent after
decreasing 0.5 percent in the third quarter. Prices for “traveler accommodations” accelerated in
the fourth quarter, partially offsetting the larger decline in prices for “all other transportationrelated commodities.” For 2015, prices for travel and tourism goods and services turned down,
decreasing 4.0 percent after increasing 1.2 percent in 2014.

Tourism Employment. Employment growth in the travel and tourism industries decelerated,
increasing 1.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015 after increasing 2.2 percent in the third quarter. In
comparison, overall U.S. employment increased 2.0 percent in the fourth quarter after increasing 1.9
percent (revised) in the third quarter. Transportation was the most significant contributor to the slow
down, increasing 0.8 percent in the fourth quarter, after increasing 2.8 percent in the third quarter. For
the year 2015, employment in the travel and tourism industries increased 2.6 percent after increasing
2.5 percent in 2014.

Total Tourism-Related Output was $1.6 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2015. It consisted of $919.4
billion (58 percent) of direct tourism spending and $668.9 billion (42 percent) of indirect tourismrelated spending.
Total Tourism-Related Employment was 8.1 million jobs in the fourth quarter of 2015, comprising
5.7 million (70 percent) direct tourism jobs and 2.4 million (30 percent) indirect tourism-related jobs.

Definitions
Tourism output. Total tourism-related output 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 consists of all jobs where the workers are
engaged in the production of direct tourism output (for example, hotel staff and airline pilots). Indirect
tourism employment consists of 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.
