Study Notes
Tourism Multiplier Effect & Economic Impacts of Tourism Spending
- The multiplier effect in economics refers to the changes in demand for any industry's output, and it has been observed in various industries since the 1930s by economist John Maynard Keynes
- In tourism, the multiplier effect refers to the economic impacts from changes in tourism spending.
- The tourism multiplier effect is how many times money spent by a tourist circulates through a country's economy.
- The tourism multiplier effect can create jobs directly in the service sector, and indirectly in the raw materials and manufacturing sectors.
- In the tourism industry there are direct, indirect, and induced impacts of tourism revenue.
- The economic impacts of tourism are experienced in the following ways:
- Direct impacts are experienced by the providers of tourist goods and services, generating income for various economic agents and directly increasing a country’s GDP.
- Indirect impacts are derived from the intermediate consumption by suppliers of tourism goods and services. This includes suppliers who provide aircraft or fuel for airlines, or flour, tomatoes, and toppings for restaurants.
- Induced effects emerge from the spending habits of workers and business owners who benefit from tourism revenue. This can be seen in things like hotel workers purchasing school fees for their children, or other goods and services not directly related to tourism.
Economic Leakage
- Economic leakage refers to money leaving the host country and ending up elsewhere.
- Leaked money is revenue lost from the multiplier effect, and occurs due to the following factors:
- Taxes
- Savings
- Imports
- Key Facts:*
- Tourism spending creates the need for raw materials, labor, and manufacturing, contributing to the growth of various industries.
- Economic leakage happens as spending on imports, savings, and taxes reduces the multiplier effect.
- Destinations that rely heavily on tourism face the risk of losing traditional income sources and become vulnerable to economic leakage.
- The tourism industry is becoming increasingly globalized and dominated by multinational corporations (MNCs), which can lead to greater economic leakage.
