e achieved following the important surveys that are being carried out by CSO currently and in the next couple of years. 6.4 The Way Forward The following table provides a list of action items that are required to move tourism statistics forward in Botswana, as well as improve the statistical base in future revisions of the TSA. The key bodies responsible for each action item are shown, as is the proposed timing (short = during 2008, medium = 2009-2011 years, long = 2012 onwards). The statistical coverage of each action item is also indicated.

ANNEX 1: TERMS OF REFERENCE The development of the Experimental TSA is Phase 2 of the overall project involving the „Strengthening of Tourism Statistics in Botswana‟. The original Project Document states: “TSA Development: The level of development of the TSA will be dependent on the success of the data collection. However, the developed TSA should be considered to be a “preliminary TSA” until the data collection procedures become more established and the data can be verified further. Phase 2: TSA Development This phase will focus on the development of the TSA, commencing with tables 1, 7 and 10 (that is inbound tourism consumption, employment and non-monetary tourism indicators). The successful development of these tables will trigger (albeit to a preliminary level) development of Tables 2 and 3 (domestic and outbound tourism consumption), Table 4 (consolidation of Tables 1 and 2) and Table 5 (production accounts of the tourism supply). This will culminate in the generation of Table 6, the core of the TSA system, where the confrontation between supply and demand (internal tourism consumption) takes place. Preliminary calculations, such as Tourism Value Added (TVA) and Tourism GDP will be undertaken at this stage.” Work Programme for the Botswana TSA The Work Programme for the TSA has built upon a combination of sample surveys, national accounting statistics, Social Accounting Matrices, and analytical exercises to arrive at a reasonable set of estimates of the information to go into the Experimental Tourism Satellite Account for Botswana. The guidelines indicated in the TSA: RMF (Recommended Methodological Framework) established by the UNWTO and endorsed by the OECD and the European Commission (Eurostat) have been followed. 37
