Identifying and classifying tourism products & industries

Tourism Products1. Services

a. WTO list of tourism specific products (TSA-TSP)b. 2002 Philippine Central Product Classification

(PCPC)2. Goods

a. The WTO list of tourism consumer durable goods

b. 2002 Philippine Central Product Classification (PCPC)

Statistical Inventory: What do we haveStatistical Inventory: What do we have

Tourism Industries

1. The WTO list of tourism characteristic activities (TSA-TCA)

2. 1994 Philippine Standard Industry Classification (PSIC)


10




• Tourism products – 153 out of 5,458 products in the 2002 PCPC

• Tourism Industries – 61 out of 1,005 industries in the 1994 PSIC

11


The Data Sources! Surveys and censuses

1. Visitors Sample Survey (VSS)– primary data source of inbound tourism in the

Philippines– conducted every month through personal

interviews among inbound tourists awaiting for their flights at the pre-departure areas of the country’s international airports


12



2. Study on Regional Travel (SRT)– primary data source of domestic tourism in the

Philippines– conducted every 3 years– comprised of 3 surveys

" Survey on Regional Distribution of Travelers by Accommodation Establishments

" Survey on Accommodation Facilities" Survey of Regional Travelers in Accommodation

Establishments


13



3. Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) Study– primary data source of tourism business

expenditures– conducted every year– comprised of 3 surveys

" Survey on Convention Utilization " Survey on Convention Income and Expenditure " Survey on Incentive Travel


14



4. Census of Philippine Business Industries (CPBI) – one of the primary data sources for benchmark

estimation of tourism production account and tourism gross fixed capital formation for private sector

– conducted every 5 years– covers all establishments in the Philippines

regardless of ownership type and economic organization


15



5. Annual Survey of Philippine Business Industries (ASPBI) – data source providing annual dimension for

tourism production account and tourism GFCF – conducted every year– gathers all the information generated by the

CPBI in between censal years


16



6. Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES)– deemed to be a potential data source for the

improvement of the compilation of domestic tourism consumption expenditures

– conducted every 3 years– nationwide household survey on income and

expenditures


17



7. Labor Force Survey (LFS)– principal data source on employment

generated by industries related to tourism– conducted every quarter– conducted through personal interview


18


The Data Sources! Administrative Records

1. Arrival/Departure Card– data source for inbound tourist arrivals,

inbound tourism consumption expenditures2. Annual Financial Report (COA)

– data source for tourism collective consumption expenditure and tourism GFCF for tourism at an aggregate level


19



3. General Appropriations Act – provide parameters for the compilation of

tourism collective consumption expenditure by function and level of government and tourism GFCF of the government by industry

4. Occupancy Report of Classified Hotels – data source for non-monetary indicators such

as occupancy rates (TSA Table 10)


20



5. PTA Travel Tax Records– Can be used to estimate outbound tourism

expenditures6. DOT accreditation of establishments

– Employment statistics of TSA Table 7


21


The Data Sources! Frameworks (Statistical Syntheses)

1. Philippine System of National Accounts (PSNA) – fundamental reference in establishing tourism

value added (TVA) and tourism gross domestic product (TGDP)

– travel component of non-factor services as data source for outbound tourism consumption expenditures


22


The Data Sources! Frameworks (Statistical Syntheses)

2. Input-Output Account – primary data source for benchmarking tourism

production account– primary data source in computing tourism ratios

towards estimating the TVA 3. Balance of Payment (BOP)

– travel component of the services generated from the BOP as another possible data source considered in estimating outbound tourism consumption expenditures


23


METADATAData about data

! Data source! Frequency! Levels of disaggregation! Time lag! Concepts and definitions used

Facilitate search for data sources and appropriate dataArchiving purposes7 WTO formats


24


• Evaluating the Availability of Metadata Among the Sources– Existing mechanisms for metadata

" Special Data Dissemination Standards (SDDS/GDDS) " Profile of Censuses and Surveys" Specific publications of concerned agencies " Agency websites " NSCB National Statistical Information Center

– Metadata come out at varying levels of detail and in a variety of forms

– Need to promote further metadata sharing


25



Data Gaps/LimitationsPTSA Aggregates

" Inbound tourism consumption expenditures" Domestic tourism consumption expenditures" Tourism consumption expenditures in kind (transfers)" Tourism collective consumption expenditures" Tourism Gross Fixed Capital Formation" Internal tourism consumption expenditures" Outbound tourism consumption" Tourism Value added (TVA)

26



Data Gaps/Limitations– Lack of proper disaggregation– Need to extrapolate data– Undercoverage in surveys– Use of programmed expenditures instead of actual– Data not processed/disseminated– Needed data not captured in surveys/admin based records– Different possible sources of data– Not addressed yet

! Need to Enhance Tourism Statistics : Case of Domestic Tourism Statistics

# concern for more timely data for domestic tourism $ SRT normally conducted every 3 years$ constraints in resources to conduct the survey,

hence, the most recent survey is 1997# IAC- DSAT directed the evaluation of conducting a

survey for domestic tourism as a rider survey to FIES (every 3 years only)

# NSCB, DOT and NSO conducted a number of consultative meetings

# Resource constraints

• Importance of Tourism Statistics! Holiday Economics

– IO impact analysis model showed that a 10 percent increase in the consumption of tourism specific products resulted to:# 4.9 percent increase in PCE# 3.5 percent increase in the final demand# 3.8 percent increase in the output# 3.5 percent increase in the GVA of tourism related

industries! Peace and order

- Effects on domestic and international tourism! Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome

- Domestic tourism benefited
