| Indicator description |
The tourism industries comprise all establishments for which the principal activity is a tourism characteristic activity. Tourism characteristic activities are the activities that typically produce tourism characteristic products. Tourism characteristic products are those that satisfy one or both of the following criteria; (a) Tourism expenditure on the product (either good or service) should represent a significant share of total tourism expenditure (share-of-expenditure/demand condition); (b) Tourism expenditure on the product should represent a significant share of the supply of the product in the economy (share-of-supply condition). This criterion implies that the supply of a tourism characteristic product would cease to exist in meaningful quantity in the absence of visitors. |
