Abstract

The paper analyzes the structural transformations in tourism using the network input–output (IO) model. The study is based on IO tables for two years (2013 and 2023). This allows a comparative analysis of changes in the structure of technical coefficients and in multipliers associated with production and tax revenues. The approach enables the identification of changes in tourism’s position within the economic network. Tourism is also analyzed in terms of the degree of integration, dependence on intermediate inputs, and the capacity to spread the economic effects. The results show few upstream linkages for tourism. There is a low level of spillovers. To make it more resilient and generate more spillovers, it is important to build relationships with sectors such as agriculture, creative industries, and business services. The reliance on outsourced services could affect relationships with productive industries.
