3.3 Production accounts
Table 5 of the TSA focuses on the production accounts of tourism industries and other industries (at
basic prices). It conforms formally to the format established by the 1993 SNA, but the perspective is
different from that of the 1993 SNA production accounts (a tool for tourism analysis). Because of
the application of the principle of recording reservation services separately, output and
intermediate consumption of each industry and the corresponding total for the economy that
appears in the last column do not correspond necessarily to the corresponding values found in the
national accounts of the country 13 . For each industry and for the total economy, gross value added
(GVA) at basic prices has to equal the GVA of the economy as it appears in the national
accounts 14 .
Table 10a to Table 10d show the production accounts for the tourism industries and other for
2006 to 2009. The gross direct value added of the tourism industries (GDVATI) is the major
economic aggregate derived in the production accounts of the tourism industries and other
industries (Table 5 of the TSA). The GDVATI for South Africa amounted to R83 220 million (or
5,3% of total GVA generated) in 2006 and R122 170 million (or 5,6% of total GVA generated) in
2009
