Abstract

During 2002–03 Statistics Netherlands (CBS) conducted the pilot project ‘Tourism Satellite Accounts for the Netherlands’. This article describes the main results of this project. A Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) provides a systematic and consistent description of the economic effects of tourism based on an internationally recommended method in accordance with the system of National Accounts (UN et al , 1993). Roughly, tourism accounted for 2.5% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the Netherlands in 1999. In total, visitors spent about ₠21 billion in the Netherlands that year, which generated some 330,000 jobs, almost 4% of the total number of jobs in the country.
