U.S. Travel and Tourism Satellite Accounts for 1998-2014

摘要

THE TRAVEL and tourism industry-as measured by the real output of goods and services sold directly to visitors-increased 3.4 percent in 2014 after increasing 6.2 percent in 2013, according to the most recent statistics from the travel and tourism satellite accounts of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). In comparison, the broader economy as measured by real gross domestic product (GDP) increased 2.4 percent in 2014 after increasing 2.2 percent in 2013. These revised and newly available statistics on travel and tourism primarily reflect the incorporation of the 2014 flexible annual revision of the industry economic accounts (IEAs), which was released on November 13, 2014.
