To capture the full economic impact of the tourism industry we add income and employment effects from sectors that supply intermediate inputs to the industries satisfying final tourism demand (so-called indirect effects) and the effects resulting from the consumption expenditures of the persons directly or indirectly employed in the tourism sector (so-called induced effects). In total, these indirect and induced effects amount to 5.3 % of aggregate gross value added and 5.0 % of total employment in 2010. Once we include all direct, indirect and induced effects we calculate that the share of the tourism industry is 9.7 % of German gross value added. The tourism industry’s total share of employment is 12.0 %.
