Tourism satellite account
Tourism satellite accounts are an internationally recognised tool for measuring tourism activity and the contribution of tourism to the economy of a particular country. Contrary to the usual statistical data on tourism, which tends to focus on tourist flows, satellite accounts enable an estimate of the monetary value of tourism for the economy.
The Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SURS) published the results of new calculations regarding the economic significance of tourism for 2015 and 2017. These calculations were made using the Tourism Satellite Accounts method.
