Stemming from the STCRC’s State Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) and CGE modelling project, and the outcomes of the Queensland Tourism Strategy to provide enhanced regional data, a scoping study was undertaken in conjunction with Tourism Queensland (TQ) to investigate the feasibility of developing Queensland regional TSAs. The objective of the scoping study was to specify the data requirements, process and methodology for developing Queensland regional TSAs.
This is a summary document of our recently published Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSAs) for each state and territory, written for tourism managers and employees and explaining TSA terminology and systems in a simplified form. STCRC’s TSAs also provide a means for each of the states and territories to make comparisons between tourism and other industries and economic activities and to measure the contribution of tourism to the economy over time. This can assist in allocating tourism expenditure across a broad cross-section of tourism related areas such as transport, water infrastructure, hotel investment and built and natural attractions.
