Tourism Satellite Accounts in the European Union - Volume 4 - Products Statistical working papers

Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSA) provide an economic measure of the importance of tourism in terms of expenditures, GDP and employment for a given country. In 2008-2009, Eurostat ran a project assessing the work done in the EU in the field of TSA and fostering the further implementation and harmonisation of TSA compilation. The key deliverables of the project are published in a set of 4 volumes in the Eurostat series "Methodologies and Working Papers" under the heading Tourism Satellite Accounts in the European Union. This fourth volume looks into the possible approaches to produce a set of key figures which can be used for an intermediate, short-term update of the basic TSA information.
