Supplementary notes

GDP generated by industries that deal directly with tourists, including hotels, travel agents, airlines and other passenger transport services as well as the activities of restaurant and leisure industries that deal directly with tourists.
The direct contribution of travel and tourism to GDP reflects the ‘internal’ spending on travel and tourism (total spending within a particular country on travel and tourism by residents and non-residents for business and leisure purposes) as well as government 'individual' spending - spending by government on travel and tourism services directly linked to visitors, such as cultural (eg museums) or recreational (eg national parks).
