SALES OF U.S. TOURISM INDUSTRIES: FOURTH QUARTER 2002
Total U.S. tourism industry sales increased 4.6 percent (seasonally adjusted annual rate) to $709.8
billion in the fourth quarter of 2002, according to preliminary estimates by the U.S. Bureau of
Economic Analysis. Although tourism continues to recover from its fourth quarter 2001 trough, it
remains well below its pre-September 11, 2001 peak. In the third quarter, tourism industry sales
decreased 7.4 percent.
Direct tourism industry sales increased $4.2 billion to $380.8 billion. Direct tourism sales are
sales by tourism industries to out-of-town visitors. Examples are sales by airlines and restaurants to
leisure and business travelers. Direct sales of air transportation grew $2.3 billion in the fourth
quarter to $91.6 billion, sales of eating and drinking places grew $1.7 billion to $63.8 billion, and
sales of motion pictures and other entertainment grew $1.2 billion to $8.9 billion. Partly offsetting
these increases were a decrease in sales of hotel and lodging places of $0.6 billion to $110.6 billion
and a decrease in sales of automotive rental and leasing of $1.1 billion to $23.2 billion.
Indirect tourism industry sales increased $3.8 billion to $329.1 billion. Indirect tourism sales are
sales to tourism industries by the industries that supply them. Examples are sales of fuel to airlines
and food to restaurants.

Year 2002
For the year 2002, total U.S. tourism industry sales decreased 0.5 percent to $706.7 billion. Although
tourism sales increased in three of the four quarters of 2002, high pre-September 11, 2001 sales mean
that total 2001 sales exceed total sales in 2002. In 2001, tourism industry sales decreased 3.7 percent.
Direct tourism industry sales decreased $1.8 billion to $379.2 billion. Direct sales of air
transportation fell $11.0 billion to $92.2 billion, and sales of travel agency services fell $0.4
billion to $3.8 billion. Offsetting these decreases were an increase in sales of eating and drinking
places of $3.2 billion to $62.5 billion, an increase in sales of hotels and lodging places of $1.3
billion to $111.0 billion, and an increase in sales of automobile renting and leasing of $1.9 billion
to $23.5 billion.
Indirect tourism industry sales decreased $1.4 billion to $327.5 billion. The largest of these
industries include food and kindred products, petroleum refining and related products, and business
and professional services.
Tourism industries are those identified in BEA's Travel and Tourism Satellite Accounts (TTSA) as
industries whose primary products are typically purchased by out-of-town visitors. Visitors are
people whose travel for pleasure or business takes them 50 miles or more away from home, or outside
of their usual environment. The definitions, framework, and estimating methods used for the U.S.
TTSA's follow, as closely as practicable, the guidelines for similar accounts that were developed
by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD).
BEA's estimates of U.S. tourism industry sales include figures for both direct and indirect sales.
Direct tourism sales are sales by tourism industries to out-of-town visitors. Indirect tourism sales
are sales to tourism industries by the industries that supply them. Indirect sales were estimated
using industry-by-industry total requirements coefficients from BEA's input-output accounts.
Further information on BEA's TTSA and analyses of previous quarters are available on BEA's Web site.
Go to <www.bea.gov>, click on "GDP by industry and input-output data," and look under
"Satellite Accounts -- Tourism." With the support of the U.S. Department of Commerce's International
Trade Administration, BEA's first TTSA's were published in the July 1998 Survey of Current Business.
In late 2001, BEA began producing prototype quarterly estimates of tourism industry sales.
Henceforth, BEA will publish these estimates on a regular basis, approximately two weeks following
the release of BEA's preliminary estimates of GDP - - June 12, 2003, September 12, 2003, and
December 10, 2003.
