AUSTRALIAN TOURISM SATELLITE ACCOUNT

On 16 October ABS will release the first Australian Tourism Satellite Account (ATSA), based on the Australian System of National Accounts. It will provide a measure of the contribution of tourism to the Australian economy, and a basis from which to compare the performance of tourism across countries, and with other industries within Australia. A seminar on the ATSA will be held in Sydney on 19 October. For further information please contact Dianne Bourke on (02) 6252 6348, email dianne.bourke@abs.gov.au.
