Tourism Value Added Dataset by Country, Sector and Year (1995–2020)

The dataset provides tourism value-added indicators broken down by country, sector, and year for the period 1995–2020. It includes the direct, indirect, and total value added generated by inbound tourism expenditure, along with unit value-added measures calculated per unit of inbound tourism spending. These indicators are constructed within a multiregional input–output (MRIO) framework, which enables the quantification of both the direct effects and the indirect, upstream supply‑chain impacts associated with inbound tourism demand. The dataset is constructed using the OECD Inter-Country Input–Output (ICIO) tables. (OECD, 2023). Inbound tourism demand is connected to sectoral output through input–output linkages, enabling the estimation of value added generated along global production networks.
