Dataset: State Tourism Satellite Accounts, 2015-16


Description

These spreadsheets use this approach to provide detailed time series information on the economic and labour market impacts of tourism for each state and territory in Australia. Economic data contained in these tables includes tourism consumption, Gross Domestic Product and Gross Value Added attributable to tourism, as well as tourism employment. For the purposes of comparison these measures are also reported for the Australian economy as a whole. The spreadsheets also quantify the value of contributing industries, and measure both the direct and indirect impacts of tourism. For example, while purchasing a meal at a hotel will have a direct impact of Australia’s accommodation and food services sector, there are also indirect effects on the agricultural sector from growing the produce, the transport sector from delivering the produce and the wholesale sector from selling the produce on to the hotel.
