Abstract: SUMMARYThis article reports on work undertaken by the Tourism Intelligence Unit (TIU)1, based within Office for National Statistics (ONS), to measure the economic impact of tourism at the regional level. The methodologies and data analysis presented look at the demand and supply components of tourism with the aim of providing a reliable measure of the regional Gross Value Added (GVA) of tourism. Two measures of GVA have been identified as international best practise2. GVA of the tourism‐related industries (GVA‐TI) provides a robust measure of the total supply‐side value of those industries which meet the demand of tourists (as well as of residents). However, Tourism Direct Gross Value Added (TD‐GVA) is recommended as the principle indicator of the regional value of tourism as it moderates the value TD‐GVA in the light of the proportion of consumption made by tourists (as distinct from consumption made by residents in those industries).
