TRAVEL AND TOURISM SPENDING OUTPACED GROWTH IN THE OVERALL ECONOMY
IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2013
Real spending on travel and tourism accelerated in the first quarter of 2013, increasing at an annual rate of
6.8 percent after increasing 2.1 percent (revised) in the fourth quarter of 2012. By comparison, growth in
real gross domestic product (GDP) increased 2.4 percent (second estimate) in the first quarter after
increasing 0.4 percent in the fourth quarter.
The leading contributors to the acceleration in the first quarter were “passenger air transportation,” and
“all other transportation-related commodities,” such as automotive rentals. “Passenger air transportation”
turned up, increasing 19.0 percent in the first quarter after decreasing 2.7 percent, reflecting a notable
upturn in “international passenger air transportation” and an acceleration in “domestic passenger air
transportation.” “All other transportation-related commodities” also turned up in the first quarter,
increasing 8.9 percent after decreasing 1.2 percent, primarily reflecting an upturn in “automotive rental
and leasing.” Partially offsetting these upturns was slower growth in “food services and drinking places”
and “traveler accommodations,” which increased 2.0 percent and 4.9 percent, respectively, in the first
quarter, after increasing 8.5 percent and 9.5 percent, respectively.
Overall growth in prices for travel and tourism goods and services slowed in the first quarter of 2013,
increasing 0.3 percent following a 2.4 percent (revised) increase in the fourth quarter. The first quarter
deceleration was more than accounted for by a downturn in prices for “all other transportation-related
commodities,” primarily reflecting a downturn in gasoline prices.

Employment in the travel and tourism industries increased 2.3 percent in the first quarter of 2013 after
increasing 2.1 percent (revised) in the fourth quarter of 2012. By comparison, overall U.S. employment
increased 1.9 percent in the first quarter after increasing 1.6 percent in the fourth quarter.

Real Tourism Spending. Real spending on
“passenger air transportation” turned up, increasing
19.0 percent in the first quarter of 2013 after
decreasing 2.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Real spending on “food services and drinking
places” slowed, increasing 2.0 percent in the first
quarter after increasing 8.5 percent in the fourth
quarter.

Tourism Prices. Prices for “passenger air
transportation” decreased 0.2 percent in the first
quarter after decreasing 0.6 percent in the fourth
quarter. Fuel costs remained volatile and at high
levels. Prices for “traveler accommodations”
turned up, increasing 5.5 percent in the first
quarter after decreasing 0.5 percent in the fourth
quarter. Certain hotels eliminated discounts and
others raised their rates in the quarter.

Tourism Employment. Employment in the
travel and tourism industries accelerated in the
first quarter, increasing 2.3 percent after
increasing 2.1 percent in the fourth quarter. The
acceleration was primarily concentrated in “food
services and drinking places” and “traveler
accommodations.”

Total Tourism-Related Spending in the U.S. includes the goods and services that are purchased
directly by tourists and also a portion of the goods and services produced by the supply chain that
supports tourism activity; for example, a firm that supplies linens to hotels and restaurants.
In the first quarter of 2013, total current-dollar tourism-related spending was $1.5 trillion and consisted
of $888.5 billion (59 percent) of direct tourism spending — goods and services sold directly to visitors
— and $606.2 billion (41 percent) of indirect tourism-related spending — goods and services used to
produce what visitors purchase.
Total Tourism-Related Employment was 7.9 million jobs in the first quarter of 2013 and consisted of
5.7 million (71 percent) direct tourism jobs — jobs where workers produce goods and services sold
directly to visitors — and 2.2 million (29 percent) indirect tourism-related jobs — jobs where workers
produce goods and services used to produce what visitors purchase.

Definitions
Tourism spending. Tourism spending comprises all goods and services purchased by tourists (defined as
people who travel for any reason). In the following tables, tourism spending is referred to as direct
tourism output.
Indirect tourism-related spending. Indirect tourism-related spending comprises all output used as
inputs in the process of producing direct tourism output (e.g., toiletries for hotel guests and the plastic
used to produce souvenir key chains).
Total tourism-related spending. Total tourism-related spending is the sum of direct tourism spending
and indirect tourism-related spending.
Direct tourism employment. Direct tourism employment comprises all jobs where the workers are
engaged in the production of direct tourism output (such as 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 and the plastic used to produce souvenir key chains).
Total tourism-related employment. Total tourism-related employment is the sum of direct tourism
employment and indirect tourism-related employment.

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
2013) 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 (2005) 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.

These statistics reflect the annual TTSA revision released in the June 2013 Survey of Current Business. The
annual TTSA revision incorporated revised Input-Output (IO) tables for 2009 and 2010 and the preliminary IO
table for 2011. The IO revision integrated source data that were more complete and more detailed than those
previously available. Additionally, these estimates reflect unique travel and tourism-specific source data
available on an annual basis only.
