Economic Impact of Tourism and Hospitality
The tourism and hospitality industry’s economic impact provides; increase in the gross domestic
product of the country by increasing tourist arrivals the tourism revenues increase as well,
generation of employment, foreign exchange and creation of economic opportunity and even
poverty reduction.
The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) World Bank identified 3 main pathways of how the
tourism and hospitality industry impacts the economy of a country:
Direct effects- The wages and earnings of those who participate directly in the sector as workers
or entrepreneurs which directly receives the actual payment or income from tourist expenditures.
Dynamic effects- Tourism and hospitality can affect the livelihood strategies of local households,
the business climate for small enterprise development, patterns of growth of the local or national
economy and the infrastructure or natural resource base of the destination.
TOURISM MULTIPLIER
The total direct and indirect effects of an infusion of an external source of income into an area are
termed the "multiplier.”
The extent to which businesspeople spend part of their income is termed as the marginal
propensity to consume (MPC)
the extent to which businesspeople will save part of their income is termed as the marginal
propensity to save (MPS).
The more self-sufficient the community, the less will be the imports and the more the MPC.
Everything is connected. Money that is earned flows from one person to another, and most of it
gets spent again -not just once
“Leakage," is the value of goods and services that must be imported to service the needs of
tourism and hospitality.
THE FORMULA FOR TOURISM MULTIPLIER IS
K=y/E
Where:
K is the multiplier
E is the change in expenditure which is also the initial sum of money spent by tourist.
The tourism and hospitality industry still have some potential undesirable effects and aspects such
as:

companies are owned by big foreign companies.
Tourism Dependence- Local owners of businesses depend only in tourism and hospitality
industry as the main source of income neglecting other ways
While tourism can help preserve cultures, it can also be the cause of its trailing down due
to commercialization and the effect of what we call “Crab-mentality.”

tourism and hospitality businesses, marketing Of local assets and make collaborations to maximize
