Tourism Direct GDP (TDGDP) is defined as the sum of value added of tourism and other activities generated by internal tourism demand and net tax on products included in value of tourism costs by purchase prices. |
| Calculations |

| Comments and limitations |
Presenting this economic contribution of tourism as a share of GDP shows the relative size of the tourism sector in the economy. However, Tourism GDP measures only direct effect of tourism consumption (and these are only internal), not entire tourism demands. It does not consider indirect and induced tourism effects. |
