HTMG 610 Economics for Hospitality and Tourism
The economic importance of tourism to a destination is commonly underappreciated and extends well beyond core hospitality and transportation sectors. Tourism Economics offers a solution to destination marketing organizations (DMOs) and to industry associations that marries rigorous methodology and compelling communication to raise the profile of tourism as an economic engine. Tourism Economics' impact models also capture the critical secondary benefits to the tourism supply chain and the economic gains through the local spending of tourism wages. This provides a comprehensive view of tourism-generated sales, production, employment, wages, and taxes. Various economic models that impact hospitality and tourism will be examined, including conducting economic impact studies.
