Travel and Tourism Spending Stepped Up in the Second Quarter
Travel and Tourism Satellite Account: Second Quarter 2017
Real spending (output) on travel and tourism accelerated in the second quarter of 2017, growing at an
annual rate of 4.9 percent after increasing 4.4 percent (revised) in the first quarter, according to new
statistics released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Real gross domestic product (GDP) for the nation
also accelerated, increasing 3.0 percent in the second quarter (second estimate) after increasing 1.2
percent in the first quarter of 2017.
The leading contributors to the acceleration in real spending were passenger air transportation and all
other transportation-related commodities. Passenger air transportation accelerated, growing 19.2
percent after increasing 5.4 percent (revised) in the first quarter. All other transportation-related
services also accelerated, growing 3.2 percent after increasing 1.1 percent (revised) in the first quarter
of 2017.

Tourism Prices. Prices for travel and tourism goods and services turned down in the second quarter of
2017, decreasing 3.2 percent following growth of 2.6 percent (revised) in the first quarter. The downturn
was attributable to price decreases for all other transportation-related commodities, passenger air
transportation, and recreation and entertainment.
Prices for all other transportation-related goods and services, which includes gasoline, decreased 10.5
percent in the second quarter after increasing 8.2 percent (revised) in the previous quarter. Prices for
passenger air transportation turned down, as international air capacity continued to grow. In the second
quarter, passenger air transportation prices decreased 4.0 percent after increasing 1.1 percent (revised)
in the first quarter of 2017.

Tourism Employment. Employment in the travel and tourism industries decelerated, increasing 1.6
percent in the second quarter of 2017 after increasing 2.4 percent (revised) in the previous quarter.
Overall U.S. employment also decelerated slightly, increasing 1.3 percent in the second quarter after
increasing 1.5 percent in the first quarter.
• Traveler accommodations was the leading contributor to the deceleration, adding
approximately 500 employees in the second quarter of 2017 after adding 6,300 employees in
the first quarter.
• Food and beverage services also contributed to the deceleration, adding approximately 10,400
employees in the second quarter after adding 13,900 employees in the first quarter of 2017.

Total Tourism-Related Output was $1.6 trillion in the second quarter of 2017, comprising $930.3 billion
(58 percent) of direct tourism spending and $671.7 billion (42 percent) of indirect tourism-related
spending.
Total Tourism-Related Employment was 7.9 million jobs in the second quarter of 2017, comprising 5.5
million (70 percent) direct tourism jobs and 2.4 million (30 percent) indirect tourism-related jobs.

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 from BEA, the Quarterly Census of Employment
and Wages (QCEW), and Current Employment Statistics (CES) from BLS.

Industry Concepts and Methods: Concepts and
Methods of the U.S. Input-Output Accounts

Gross output (GO) is the value of the goods and services
produced by the nation’s economy. It is principally
measured using industry sales or receipts, including sales
to final users (GDP) and sales to other industries
(intermediate inputs).
Current-dollar estimates are valued in the prices of the
period when the transactions occurred—that is, at
“market value.” Also referred to as “nominal estimates” or
as “current-price estimates.”
Real values are inflation-adjusted estimates—that is,
estimates that exclude the effects of price changes.

Definitions

Statistical conventions

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).

Annual rates Quarterly values are expressed at seasonallyadjusted annual rates (SAAR). Dollar changes are
calculated as the difference between these SAAR values.
For details, see the FAQ “Why does BEA publish estimates
at annual rates?”
Quantities and prices Quantities, or “real” measures, and
prices are expressed as index numbers with a specified
reference year equal to 100 (currently 2009). Quantity and
price indexes are calculated using a Fisher-chained
weighted formula that incorporates weights from two
adjacent periods (quarters for quarterly data and annuals
for annual data). “Real” dollar series are calculated by
multiplying the published quantity index by the currentdollar value in the reference year (2009) and then dividing
by 100. Percent changes calculated from chained-dollar
levels and quantity indexes are conceptually the same; any
differences are due to rounding.

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 airlines 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).

Chained-dollar values are not additive because the
relative weights for a given period differ from those of the
reference year. In tables that display chained-dollar values,
the value of the "Not allocated by industry" line reflects
the difference between the first line and the sum of the
most detailed lines. For the real value added by industry
table, this value also reflects differences in source data
used to estimate GDP by industry and the expenditures
measure of real GDP.

Gross domestic product (GDP) or value added is the value
of the goods and services produced by the nation’s
economy less the value of the goods and services used up
in production. GDP is also equal to the sum of personal
consumption expenditures, gross private domestic
investment, net exports of goods and services, and
government consumption expenditures and gross
investment.
