WTTC has an on-going commitment to align its economic impact research with the UN Statistics Division-approved 2008 Tourism Satellite
Account: Recommended Methodological Framework (TSA:RMF 2008) and makes small revisions annually, following a full refinement in 2011.
This has involved further benchmarking of country reports to official, published TSAs, including for countries which are reporting data for the
first time, as well as to existing countries reporting an additional year’s data. New country TSAs incorporated this year were Iceland, Serbia,
UAE and the UK. In addition to producing reports on 184 countries, we also produce a world report and reports on 23 other geographic
regions, sub-regions and economic and geographic groups. This year there are 7 reports for special economic and geographic groups.
