Eurostat has launched a new webpage on tourism satellite accounts, presenting experimental statistics to assess tourism's economic impact in Europe. This data includes indicators like gross value added and job creation within the tourism sector, helping to understand its macro-economic significance. While some European countries have fully developed and regularly publish tourism satellite accounts (TSA), others are still in the developmental phase, making the current European aggregate an experimental statistic. The TSA framework, established by the UN, UNWTO, Eurostat, and OECD, provides insights into tourism's contribution to the economy and labor market.
