State Tourism Impacts
How visitor spending generates impact
•
Travelers create direct economic value within a discrete group of sectors (e.g. recreation,
transportation). This supports a relative proportion of jobs, wages, and taxes within each
sector.
•
Each directly affected sector also purchases goods and services as inputs (e.g. food
wholesalers, utilities) into production. These impacts are called indirect impacts.
•
20
Lastly, the induced impact is
generated when employees
whose incomes are generated
either directly or indirectly by
tourism, spend those incomes
in the local economy.

 Property tax revenue, along
with local excise and fees
and lodging taxes, comprise
the major revenue streams
for local governments.
How important is tourism?
 Were the Wisconsin tourism industry a
single business, it would rank #242 on the
Forbes 500 list, similar in size to Visa, Inc.
and CarMax and larger than Norfolk
Southern or Office Depot.
 Visitor spending of $11.4 billion is equal to
the total revenue of the Wisconsin Lottery…
since 1988.
 Total sales in supported by tourism in
Wisconsin reached $18.5 billion in 2014.
By comparison, worldwide revenue of
Wisconsin’s 4th largest company – Kohl’s – was
$19 billion in 2014
30
How important is tourism?
 Were the 133,000 direct tourism
jobs located all in one county, it
would be enough jobs for EVERY
resident in Washington County – the
11th largest county in the state.
 The total tourism employment of
187,643 is more than the total
employment of the Appleton AND
Janesville-Beloit MSA’s.
31
How important is tourism?
 Each household in Wisconsin benefits from
tourism, saving $620 in 2014 in taxes as visitor
activity supports state and local governmental
revenue.
■ That is enough for a annual golfing membership at
Christmas Mountain Village or
■ 20-Game Fan's Choice Plan in the outfield for the
Milwaukee Brewers or
■ About 20 separate admissions to a waterpark in
Wisconsin Dells (assuming average price of $30).

Methodology and Background
Why quantify the tourism economy?
 By monitoring tourism’s economic impact, policy makers
can make informed decisions regarding the funding and
prioritization of tourism development.
 It can also carefully monitor its successes and future
needs.
 In order to do this, tourism must be measured in the
same categories as other economic sectors – i.e. tax
generation, employment, wages, and gross domestic
product.
34
Why is this a challenge?
 Most economic sectors such as financial services,
insurance, or construction are easily defined within a
country’s national accounts statistics.
 Tourism is not so easily measured because it is not a
single industry. It is a demand-side activity which affects
multiple sectors to various degrees.
 Tourism spans nearly a dozen sectors including lodging,
recreation, retail, real estate, air passenger transport, food
& beverage, car rental, taxi services, travel agents…

Methods and data sources
•
Domestic visitor expenditure estimates are provided by Longwoods International’s
representative survey of US travelers. These are broken out by sectors (lodging,
transport at destination, food & beverage, retail, and recreation), by purpose
(business and leisure), and by length of stay (day and overnight).
•
Tourism Economics then adjusts these levels of spending based on a range of
known measures of tourism activity:
36
•
Overseas visitor spending (source: OTTI, TE)
•
Canada visitor spending (source: Statistics Canada, TE)
•
Sales tax receipts
•
Spending on air travel which accrues to all airports and locally-based airlines
•
Gasoline purchases by visitors (source: TE calculation)
•
Smith Travel Research data on hotel revenues
•
Industry data on employment, wages, GDP, and sales (source: BEA, BLS,
Census)
Methods and data sources
•
An IMPLAN model was compiled for the State of Wisconsin. This traces
the flow of visitor-related expenditures through the local economy and
their effects on employment, wages, and taxes. IMPLAN also quantifies
the indirect (supplier) and induced (income) impacts of tourism.
•
All results are benchmarked and cross-checked and adjusted based on
the following:
•
37
•
US Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Economic Analysis
(employment and wages by industry)
•
US Census (business sales by industry)
The source of the employment and wage data is the Regional Economic
Information System (REIS), Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S.
Department of Commerce. All employment rankings are based on Bureau
of Labor Statistics (ES202/QCEW) data.
