Introduction The (WTTC) has spearheaded global analysis of the economic importance of the sector for over 20 years. This research has established the contribution of Travel & Tourism on an ongoing basis to over 180 countries in absolute size, share of the economy, and growth. Around the world, WTTC research is referenced as the authoritative source of the role of Tourism in generating GDP, income, and employment. WTTC is now releasing new research on the role that Travel & Tourism plays in the world economy in comparison to other economic sectors. The results of these comparisons provide new perspectives on the relative significance of Travel & Tourism as well as some of its unique advantages in driving current and future global economic growth. 3
Summary of Research Structure This updated WTTC research benchmarks Travel & Tourism against an assortment of other sectors for twenty-five countries and for each world region. Regions World Americas Europe Asia Pacific Middle East Africa Countries Argentina Australia Brazil Canada China Colombia France Germany India Indonesia Italy Jamaica Japan Mexico Montenegro Peru Russia Serbia South Africa South Korea Thailand Turkey UAE United Kingdom USA 4
Summary of Research Structure The following metrics are analysed by sector for each country and region: GDP (size and share of economy) Employment contribution (size and share of economy) Historic growth Expected growth 5
Sectors referenced The following sectors have been analysed in comparison to Travel & Tourism. They were selected as having a similar breadth and global presence as Travel & Tourism. Mining: includes the extraction of oil, natural gas, coal, metals, and related services Education: includes all levels of educational services Higher Education: includes learning that occurs at universities, academies, colleges, seminaries, and institutes of technology Chemicals : includes drugs & medicines, manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations, plastics, rubber, paint, polishes, ink, perfumes, cosmetics, soap, cleaning materials, fertilizer, pesticides, other chemicals Automotive : includes motor vehicles and parts & accessories Communications: includes post (national and private) and telecommunications Banking: includes all banking activities and related services. Financial services: includes banking, investment services, insurance 6
Levels of industry impacts The analysis examines the economic value of industries on three levels. Direct: this includes only those employees and the related value added for the relevant sector. In the case of Travel & Tourism, we only count the value added of the accommodation, recreation, transportation, and other related sectors. ACCOMMODATION Indirect: this measures the supply chain impact (also called inter-industry linkages) for each sector. Induced: this measures the impacts of incomes earned directly and indirectly as they are spent in the local economy. The sum of direct, indirect, and induced impacts equals the total economic impact of a sector. 7

Data Sources & Methodology How does Travel & Tourism compare to other sectors? 22
Data sources and methodology: GDP and Employment Main data sources for comparative sectors: United Nations International Labour Organization; OECD; CEIC Data Manager; Eurostat (European Commission); UK Office for National Statistics (ONS); Oxford Economics Cities and Regions Forecasting Service; UNESCO; Groningen Growth and Development Centre; UN World Input-Output Database (WIOD); Oxford Economics Global Industry Model; Oxford Economics Global Economic Model; Oxford Economics UK Regional Model; and Various country-specific National Statistics Office websites Travel & Tourism GDP and employment figures are drawn from Oxford Economics analysis for WTTC using the Tourism Satellite Account framework. 23
Data sources and methodology: Exports Main data sources: World Trade Organization (WTO) IMFBOPA Oxford Economics. Total exports, total service exports and total goods/merchandise exports are sourced originally to national accounts and central bank balance of payments data. Service exports taken from IMFBOPA database for all countries where possible. 2000 figures taken from above, 2013 estimated using 2012 shares of total and applied to totals for 2013. All currency figures are stated in 2012 US dollars. 24
Data sources and methodology: Linkages Main data sources: OECD, National Statistical Offices, Oxford Economics Input-output tables for all countries were sourced from either the OECD or, when not available, National Statistical Offices. From the input-output tables, multiplier matrices were developed for each economy, detailing the flow of spending in an economy that occurs as a consequence of spending in a given industry. For each of the comparator sectors, a spending shock of $1 million was simulated, with the resulting spending impacts in every industry in the economy recorded. These spending outcomes were translated into gross value added (GVA) using the GVA/output ratios available in the input-output tables, and employment, using productivity level data developed from the GDP and employment figures derived elsewhere in the study. Travel & Tourism multipliers are drawn from Oxford Economics / WTTC ongoing Tourism Satellite Account analysis. Global and regional multipliers were calculated as the weighted average of all relevant nations, with weightings assigned according to sector GDP. 25
