The Impact

For approximately 40 years from the early 1960s, the ‘impacts of tourism’ was the most researched topic in tourism, and economic impacts were more researched than any other type in this period. When, in the late 1980s, Pearce discussed research on tourism impacts, he stated that the geographical focus of this research, was the tourism destination. As Pearce (1989:2) indicated: Studies of the impact of tourist development on a destination or destinations have been the largest single element of tourism research ... and has concentrated on the effects of income and employment. Despite this quotation coming from nearly 30 years ago, and taking into account the development of many different research areas in tourism since then, it is still the case that economic impact studies are a key focus in tourism research. Although, as has been stated in Chapter 6, economic impacts of tourism are linked to, and cannot easily be separated from, other types of impact, largely in an attempt to assist with understanding, economic impacts are discussed in this chapter separately from other tourism impacts.

Economic Impact Studies

‘Economic’ impact studies have been popular in arts and cultural advocacy. Yet the application is inappropriate. ‘Economic’ impact studies are not designed for the purposes of advocacy. In the case of art and culture, they are more likely to be self-defeating. They also distract attention and resources away from the articulation of better advocacy arguments. Economists have warned against the use of ‘economic’ impact studies for advocacy, but their efforts have been only partly successful. This paper summarises the case against using ‘economic’ impacts for advocacy, concentrating on commonsense issues for easy digestion by non-economists.

This paper examines the use of community based economic impact studies as service learning tools for undergraduate business programs.  Economic impact studies are used to measure the economic benefits of a variety of activities such as community redevelopment, tourism, and expansions of existing facilities for both private and public producers.  Economic impact studies when structured as service learning projects provide an experiential learning environment for business students, affording them with the opportunity of applying the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom while at the same time engaging in community service.  Such projects can expose students to the importance of corporate social responsibility and help involved faculty to remain current in their fields of expertise while providing pedagogical and practice oriented avenues for research.  Clients gain access to expertise in a cost effective manner.  When done effectively, service learning projects in undergraduate business programs generate goodwill and favorable publicity while helping academic institutions meet mission statements and address specific accreditation standards.
