4. ESTIMATION OF TOURISM VALUE ADDED 4.1 Reconciliation of Supply and Demand At the very heart of the TSA process, as recommended in the TSA: RMF is the concept of reconciling demand and supply. This is a powerful concept that attempts to improve both the collection and compilation of statistics as well as improving the analyses that are necessary to achieve it. It introduces an exemplary rigour into the process of using tourism statistics for economic analyses. The TSA: RMF again recommends a format for Table 6 which brings together this reconciliation. The key process for bringing about the reconciliation is „Internal Tourism Consumption‟, as measured in Table 4, and the tourism share of the production of products as indicated in Table 6, as shown in the following pages. Ideally, these two measures should be entirely independent of each other. TSA:RMF suggests the following as a set of relevant indicators of the size of tourism in the economy: Internal tourism consumption (in cash and in kind); Value added of the tourism industries; Tourism value added; and Tourism GDP. 4.2 Measures of Tourism in Botswana Internal Tourism Consumption has been estimated in Table 4, and gives a figure of around P 4.1 billion. It is necessary to emphasise that this figure is mostly related to tourists. It combines international inbound tourism (both overnight visitors and same-day visitors) and domestic tourists (both overnight visitors and same-day visitors) who are travelling outside their usual environment. It also includes the domestic component of an outbound trip by a Botswana resident. The statistics are minimal upon some elements of „Internal Tourism Consumption‟. It is reasonable to suggest that P4.1 billion is a conservative figure for Botswana. Value Added of the Tourism Industries (VATI) is shown in Table 5. It is P2.8 billion at Basic Prices. This estimate is limited to the five industries that have been identified as Tourism Industries. If figures for more Tourism Industries were identifiable, then the Value added of the Tourism Industries would be higher. On the other hand these Tourism Industries do supply many products to persons who are not visitors, so the total Value Added of the Tourism Industries has these different elements which mean that precisely what is included has to be taken into account when using these measures for economic decision-making. Tourism Value Added (TVA) is estimated in Table 6. The figure is around P 1.9 billion which is the direct impact of tourism spending. It is the gross value added in Basic Prices by the actual tourism expenditure (or consumption). It does not take into account indirect effects or induced effects. Tourism GDP (TGDP) is measured in market prices and involves adding back in product taxes. It will be broadly higher than the TVA. 28
