2 Midas = Symbol of Riches?! At one time the Phrygians were without a king. Oracle decreed that the next man to enter the city driving an ox-cart should become their king. Farmer Gordias drove into town on an ox-cart and became king. His son Midas dedicated the ox-cart to the Gods and tied it to a post with an intricate knot. Alexander the Great tried to untie it and became frustrated So he drew his sword and cut it! A Gordian knot is impossible to untie because it has no visible end and no visible beginning

15 The role of Government Spending & Capital Investment

16 Travel & Direct Contribution to GDP GDP generated by industries that deal directly with tourists, including hotels, travel agents, airlines and other passenger transportation services, as well as the activities of restaurant and leisure industries that deal directly with tourists. It is equivalent to total internal Travel & spending within a country minus purchases made by those industries (including imports). Domestic Travel & Spending Spending within a country by that country's residents for both business and leisure trips. Multi-use consumer durables are not included since they are not purchased solely for tourism purposes. Outbound spending by residents abroad is not included here Government Individual Travel & Spending Government spending on individual nonmarket services for which beneficiaries can be separately identified. These social transfers are directly comparable to consumer spending and, in certain cases, may represent public provision of consumer services. For example, it includes provision of national parks and museums. Internal Travel & Consumption ( Revenue) Total revenue generated within a country by industries that deal directly with tourists including visitor exports, domestic spending and government individual spending. This does not include spending abroad by residents. Leisure Travel & Spending (Tourist Spending) Spending on leisure travel within a country by residents and international visitors. Capital Investment Capital investment spending by all sectors directly involved in the Travel & industry. This also constitutes investment spending by other industries on specific tourism assets such as new visitor accommodation, passenger transportation equipment, as well as restaurants and leisure facilities for specific tourism use.

23 Ming Che Chou (2013): Spending and Growth in Transition Countries (doi: /j.econmod ) Empirical studies have shown inconsistent or even contradictory results in terms of a tourism-led economic growth hypothesis (p.227) One can attribute the neutrality between tourism spending and economic growth to a relatively small contribution of domestic tourism spending to overall output. (p.231) Mario Holzner (2011): Beach Disease (adaptation of the Dutch Disease Model to ) De-industrialisation and Economic Contraction (DOI: /j.tourman ) The main policy recommendation for countries in development with a potential for tourism specialisation is to invest apart from tourism specific also into traditional infrastructure, which can be used both by the tourism sector as well as by the manufacturing sector (p.929) María del P. Pablo-Romero & José A. Molina (2013): Literature Review on the relationship between economic growth and tourism (DOI: /j.tmp ) The relation between tourism and growth depends on various factors, the main one being the country's degree of specialisation in tourism Christian Steiner (2010): Foreign Direct Investment in (DOI: /jtr.788) The influence of political risk and violent political unrest on tourism FDI is overestimated
