Tourism-Related Sectors

With the use of transaction table and technical coefficient matrix it is possible to provide

perspective about the production and consumption behaviors among sectors in the economy.

In the study, the 240-sector provided by the NSCB was aggregated into 50 sectors. The way

of aggregation among industries was done to have a tourism sector. For this portion of the

analysis, the tourism sector includes accommodation and restaurant facilities since a large

portion of industry can attributed to these industries (see Appendix B for aggregation).

 Tourism-related sectors, in this context, refer to other sectors that have a relationship with the

tourism sector either as producer of the inputs needed by the sector or as purchaser of the

products of tourism.

Technical coefficient matrix shows the proportion of inputs required to produce one peso

value of output. Table __ depicts the top 20 sectors that have a highest proportion of inputs

required by the tourism sector to produce additional one peso value of output. As shown, 25

percent of the inputs required come from the food manufactures, followed by the meat, beverage

and fishery at 9%, 5% and 3% respectively. Moreover other food products such as dairy,

vegetables, fruits, coconut and oils, and poultry products also comprise the major inputs purchase

by the tourism sector. Other purchases of the sector are the commercial services (2.14%), fuel,

electricity and water (1.75%), trade (1.63%), chemical products (1.25%) and financial services

(0.9%). Aside from these, a certain proportion of inputs also comes from textile, paper and wood,

metal, appliances and electrical, and, petroleum industry.

Reading across the table rows provides an alternative interpretation of economic activity wherein
local sales from each sectors listed at the left side of the table to other local sectors listed at the
top are shown. Thus, for any production sector it is possible to track to whom sales are being
made.

Tourism sells to the following sect.
