How traveler spending generates impact
Lastly, the induced impact isgenerated when employees
whose incomes are
generated either directly or
indirectly by tourism, spend
those incomes in the city
economy.
Travelers create direct economic value within a discreet group of sectors (e.g. recreation,transportation). This supports a relative proportion of jobs, wages, taxes, and GDP withineach sector.
Each directly affected sector also purchases goods and services as inputs (e.g. foodwholesalers, utilities) into production. These impacts are called indirect impacts.

Household surveys from the US Travel Association and Longwoods International have providedkey inputs in establishing traveler spending figures. Industry data on lodging, airports, Amtrak, andattractions contribute to year-over-year growth analysis.
Employment definitions. The basis of our data and modeling is the Regional Economic InformationSystem (REIS), Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce. This is different
than the NYS Department of Labor data source (ES202/QCEW). The main definitional difference
is that sole-proprietors, which do not require unemployment insurance and are not counted in the
ES202 data. BEA data shows (for example) state accommodations employment at 89,124,
compared with QCEW at 82,190. For total employment (across all sectors), the difference is 20%.
International methodology. Our approach (through Travel Industry Association calculations) isbased the estimates on direct survey responses to the Department of Commerce in-flight survey
and Statistics Canada data constrained to BEA international balance of payments data. The NY
data are consistent with TIAs state-by-state distribution which ensures against overestimation.
All employment and income results are constrained to known industry measurements for keytourism sectors.

Local taxes are a build-up of individual categories (sales, occupancy, property). The model isnot equipped to deal with individual exemptions such as Indian gaming.
Second home expenditures are based on the stock of seasonal second home inventory.Annual average expenditures for housing are pro-rated to the season length to account for
various levels of expenditures not accounted in visitor surveys.
Lodging sector. Our models use survey information and constrains this to the value of thehotel sector in each county. This can vary from certain bed tax estimates of total revenue for
several reasons. One is that the bed tax may only be based on room revenue while total sales
for the industry may include other revenue sources (room service, phone, etc.). Another is
that certain smaller establishments may not fully report or be required to report their revenue.

l Tourism Economics utilized the IMPLAN input-output model for New York State totrack the flow of sales through the economy to the generation of GDP, employment,
wages, and taxes.
l The impacts are measured on three levels: Direct impact: The immediate benefit to persons and companies directly
providing goods or services to travelers.
Indirect impact: The secondary benefit to suppliers of goods and services to thedirectly-involved companies. For example, a food wholesaler providing goods to
a restaurant. The model is careful to exclude imports from the impact
calculations.
Induced impact: The tertiary benefit to the local economy as incomes in the priortwo levels of impact are spent on goods and services. For example, a restaurant
employee spends his wages at a grocery store, generating addition economic
output.
