  1. Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council Labour Supply & Demand Projections Model FLMM LMI Working Group Vancouver, BC October 18, 2007

  2. The Background • Historically COPS basis for demand growth rates • Applied formula to COPS to get growth rates for tourism NAICS • Needed to better understand current and projected labour supply/demand gap • No existing supply data available • Tried to create own supply data but not comparable to demand data

  3. Requirements of the Model • Supply and demand data must be comparable • National, provincial and potentially regional data • Model needs to be responsive, flexible and timely • Representative of what industry is feeling • Ideally able to compare data to other sectors

  4. Approach • Based on the Construction Sector Council (CSC) model (Macroeconomic model & Industry input) • Industry input collected through two sets of 10 focus groups (1/province), on-line survey, in-depth interviews • Use of existing economic indicators, labour force information from established data sources (i.e. NTI, TSA HRM)

  5. Selected Providers • The Conference Board of Canada’s Canadian Tourism Research Institute (CTRI) was chosen through RFP process to develop the model using macroeconomic indicators and focus group input • Expertise in tourism economic indicators • Experience building economic models • Access to CBoC labour economics data • Omnifacts Bristol Group selected to facilitate focus groups • Experience working in tourism • Expertise in focus group facilitation

  6. Timeline Summary • Initial model development March/April 07 • Focus groups May/June 07 • On-line survey/interviews May – Sept 07 • Focus groups (validate results) Oct/Nov 07 • Final delivery of model Mar 08

  7. Preliminary Results • Tourism Labour Supply and Demand Gap

  8. Model Details • (Tourism/non-tourism) demand projections for tourism goods and services • Forecasts of domestic and foreign tourism demand by NTI category developed using our tourism models • Provincial distribution of tourism demand based on 1998 PTSA and grown out using our tourism models (constrained by national) • Forecast of non-tourism demand driven by CBoC model forecasts • Provincial distribution of non-tourism demand also based on 1998 PTSA and grown out using CBoC models (constrained by national)

  9. Model Details • Labour demand generated by demand for tourism goods and services - National • HRM provides details (gender, age, immigrant status) for 5 industry groups, and 37 distinct tourism sector occupations for 2005 • Linked to overall sector (tourism/non-tourism) revenue, in TSA/NTI framework, through implicit productivity measures for 2005 • Productivity assumptions going forward based on historical trends and relationship with overall economy

  10. Model Details • Labour demand generated by demand for tourism goods and services - Provincial • Provincial employment shares from custom LFS tabulation (2005) applied to 2005 HRM to establish constraints for overall province and at industry level • Fixed occupational breakdown within industry to national • Establish link to estimated sector revenue (tourism/non-tourism) in TSA/NTI framework, through implicit productivity measures for 2005 • Productivity assumptions going forward also based on historical trends and relationship with overall economy

  11. Model Details • Labour shortage projections in tourism sector • Shortage calculated as labour demand minus labour supply • Approach suggests gap of 0 in 2005 • Refined approach implies that gap may not be 0 in 2005 • Go back to establish benchmark either based on a stable period of growth (late 1990’s) or recent period when labour shortages not likely to exist (2003) • Our choice was to use to 2003

  12. Next Steps - Modelling • Integrate “levers” for health/retirement age • Boost demand for leisure/business travel and supply • Integrate “levers” for seniors income • Boost leisure demand • Integrate “levers” for part. rates (seniors/immigrants) • Boost supply • Integrate “levers” for in/out seasonal migration • Refine supply (regional fine-tuning and possibly reduce supply)

  13. Next Steps – Modelling • Develop market interaction model • Integrate capacity constraints (developments that don’t take place due to growing challenge of staffing) • Effects of real (and relative) wage changes • Relative wages increase, supply increases • However, demand also declines due to higher costs, poor customer service due to labour shortage • Smaller gaps as a result • Ultimately, the model will determine where the sector is likely to operate at (lost output)

  14. Next Steps • Analyze results • Make improvements where needed • Run on a yearly basis • Expand to sub-provincial level (metro areas, resorts) • Compare demand to COPS demand
