The purpose of a Tourism Satellite Account is to analyse in detail all the aspects
of demand for goods and services associated with the activity of visitors; to observe
the operational interface with the supply of such goods and services within the economy;
and to describe how this supply interacts with other economic activities. The present
volume, Tourism Satellite Account: Recommended Methodological Framework 2008, provides
an updated framework for constructing a Tourism Satellite Account. It should permit
greater internal consistency of tourism statistics with the rest of the statistical
system of a country, as well as increased international comparability of these data.
