Situation Analysis Toolkit
Economic Impact Toolbox
National level data on the economic impact of tourism is often not
reliable at local authority level. However, local level economic impact data is very
important to assist both council and business planning.
This toolbox provides checklists and survey
methodologies to enable you to calculate the economic impact of tourism
at a local level.
Once you have obtained information regarding the economic contribution of
tourism, you can use it to:
- determine the priority for tourism within the local authority as a
contributor to the
economic development of the region, city or district.
- help evaluate whether current and potentially increased expenditure on
tourism facilities and marketing are a sound investment, providing economic and
social benefits for residents and businesses as well as local authorities.
By completing the following checklist you can identify whether you have the
information required to ensure an understanding of the likely benefits of tourism to
your local economy.
The rest of this toolbox will help you to fill in any information gaps that you
identify. Download
