Presents the first official estimates of the contribution of the tourism industry to the Australian economy within the context of a satellite account linked to the Australian System of National Accounts. The publication shows the contribution of tourism to major economic aggregates, such as GDP, as well as details on what products were purchased by tourists, which industries supplied those products, and the contribution of tourism to the value added of those industries. In addition, data on employment and visitor numbers will be presented. The Tourism Satellite Account will provide users with a macro-economic framework to conduct analyses of tourism impacts on the economy.
