  1. Why this review of the Recommendations on Tourism Statistics (REC93) UNSD/UNWTO Workshop Madrid 17/20 July 2006

  2. The present structure of REC93 • Part One: Recommendations on Tourism Statistics • Development and needs of tourism statistics • Concepts and forms of tourism • Basic tourism units • Classifications of tourism demand • Classifications of tourism supply • Statistics on tourism expenditure • Further work to be carried out by the WTO in cooperation with other organizations • Part Two: Standard International Classification of Tourism Activities ( SICTA)

  3. Reasons for change • To take advantage of the context of updates of all international statistical standards and classifications; • Extensive development of tourism statistics worldwide; • Need to incorporate changes induced by the adoption of the TSA standard; • Need to strengthen aspects of tourism statistics different from those strictly TSA related;

  4. Scope of change • Limited scope: no “revolution”; • Follow a structure similar to the present one • More variables that are important to understand tourism and had been left out in REC93 • To be complemented by a series of general guidelines • Changes might not have direct impact on the procedures and results but principally of a conceptual nature; • Tied by commitments by the Inter-agency Coordination Group on Tourism Statistics.

  5. Role of the present workshop • Fuel strategic alliance between NTAs and NSOs • Complement to the electronic forum with data compilation issues • To hear comments and proposals both from producers and users Proposal for new Recommendations to be presented to the UNSC in 2008
