The value of the visitor economy

Benefits to business Tourism is an integral component of the New Jersey economy. The industry's spending recovery accelerated in 2011 with a 7.1% rise in visitor spending. In 2011, total tourism demand in the State of New Jersey tallied $38 billion. Tourism demand has recovered the losses from the recession and is just shy of the all-time high reached in 2007. 17

Benefits to households and government Tourism spending directly supports 312,000 jobs in New Jersey and 486,000 jobs including indirect and induced impacts. These jobs representing 9.8% of total employment or 1 in 10.2 jobs in New Jersey. Including indirect and induced impacts, tourism in New Jersey generated $4.4 billion in state and local taxes. In the absence of the state and local taxes generated by tourism, each NJ household would need to pay $1,380 to maintain governmental revenues. 18

Industry indicators tell recovery story State bed tax grew 7.4% in 2011. Room demand grew 5.1% and an increasing average daily rate meant room revenue grew 6.9%. Average room rates in New Jersey grew to $106. Tourism-related employment turned upward in 2011, growing 0.6% from the prior year. 19

Structure of Analysis

Why quantify the tourism economy? By monitoring tourism s economic impact, policy makers can make informed decisions regarding the funding and prioritization of tourism development. It can also carefully monitor its successes and future needs. In order to do this, tourism must be measured in the same categories as other economic sectors i.e. tax generation, employment, wages, and gross domestic product. 24

What is this a challenge? Most economic sectors such as financial services, insurance, or construction are easily defined within a country s national accounts statistics. Tourism is not so easily measured because it is not a single industry. It is a demand-side activity which affects multiple sectors to various degrees. Tourism spans nearly a dozen sectors including lodging, recreation, retail, real estate, air passenger transport, food & beverage, car rental, taxi services, travel agents 25

The Tourism Satellite Account The TSA was conceived by the UN World Tourism Organization and has since been ratified by the UN, Eurostat, t and OECD. The standard has been adopted by over fifty countries around the world and a growing number of US States. The TSA deals with the challenge of measuring tourism in two important ways: Defines the tourism economy Provides methodology for calculating tourism GDP in a way that is consistent with economic accounts 26
