Statistical Operation

A tourism satellite account (TSA) is a synthetic statistical operation closely linked to the central core of a country's national accounts, placing an emphasis on tourism activity. It isolates the various items making up economic tourism activity from the universe of national accounts in order to: specify the impact and describe the direct and indirect effects of tourism on the economy; quantify the overall impact of tourism; analyse the relationships between tourism and the rest of the economy; and make it possible to use major qualitative parameters in analysing tourism activity – place of residence, sex, income, duration of stay, etc. This report outlines the efforts of the World Tourism Organization (WTO) to develop a flexible and sustainable framework for the national and international implementation of TSAs.

In the second part of this issue's Databank, the author takes a closer look at the evolution of air transport after 11 September 2001, drawing on data from ICAO and various regional airline associations. The monthly traffic data reported by ATA, AEA and AAPA, the regional associations for, respectively, the major North American, European and Asian airlines, constitute a valuable source of timely information on the short-term evolution of this part of the tourism flow over the last few years.

Society is increasingly concerned about environmental, social and economic issues. According to the World Tourism Organization, over the past six decades, tourism has experienced a continuous expansion and diversification to become one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in the world. Furthermore, studies affirm the complexity of the tourism sector and the fact that sustainable development depends on various topics that are not correctly identified by managers and policymakers. For these reasons, this paper aims to reflect on the effects of tourism and to propose alternatives that can be sustainably managed. In terms of results, knowledge gaps have been identified and, through a case analysis in Brazil, the forgotten effects of tourism activity that can have an impact on sustainable development have been exposed. Also, an algorithm has been presented to manage uncertainty and facilitate decision-making.
