Tourism Satellite Account of Spain

The Tourist Satellite Account in Spain (TSAS) is made up of a set of accounts and tables, based on methodological principles of national accounting presented by the different economic parameters of tourism in Spain, for a given reference date.

It includes three types of elements:

• - Supply accounts and tables which try to characterise the structure of production and tourist company costs.
• - Demand tables which try to characterise - from the economic point of view - the different types of tourists, national tourism compared with international, the types of goods and services demanded, etc.
• - Tables that interrelate supply and demand which facilitate obtaining some integrated measurements of the contribution of tourism to the economy via variables such as GDP, production or employment.
