“…Input–output analysis is well established in the scientific literature and is often applied (for example, in tourism studies, Çela et al ; Kashian and Pfeifer‐Luckett ; Hanly ). In Malaysia, I–O analysis has been applied to calculate impacts of ‘conventional’ tourism (United Nations 1991; Rashid et al ; Mazumder et al 2011; Hassan and Jenggie ) Despite its widespread use, debate on the appropriateness of I–O models is on‐going.…”

In Malaysia, a country that ranks among the world's most recognised medical tourism destinations, medical tourism is identified as a potential economic growth engine for both medical and non-medical sectors. A state-level analysis of economic impacts is important, given differences between states in economic profiles and numbers, origins, and expenditure of medical tourists. We applied input-output (I-O) analysis, based on state-specific I-O data and disaggregated foreign patient data. The analysis includes nine of Malaysia's states. In 2007, these states were visited by 341,288 foreign patients, who generated MYR1,313.4 m ($372.3 m) output, MYR468.6 m ($132.8 m) in value added, and over 19,000 jobs. Impacts related to non-medical expenditure are more substantial than impacts related to medical expenditure, and indirect impacts are a substantial part of total impacts. We discuss management and policy responses and formulate recommendations for data collection.

“…Fourth, using the IMPLAN 3.0 software, analyses of different sets of multipliers from the input-output system are conducted under the given mathematical input-output model (equation [6]). Several recent studies using economic impact analysis have included discussions of the particular helpfulness and benefits of the software when applying an input-output model (Bonn and Harrington, 2008;Kashian and Pfeifer-Luckett, 2011). Finally, the resulting sets of multipliers are interpreted and discussed.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to be limited to provide an overall economic structure linked with a particular hospitality industry by identifying the economic structure of relations between the two hotel industries and other industries within a particular state in the USA. Design/methodology/approach – The analyses of output, labor income and employment multipliers from the input–output system were performed using the IMPLAN 3.0 software. The study attempted to compare the hotel/motel industry (industry code 411) and the accommodations industry (industry code 412) with the top ten industries and averages of each set of multipliers to estimate the relative importance and contribution of the two hotel industries to the economy of Texas. After this comparison, the aggregated input–output tables and multipliers were prepared to determine the economic inter-relationship between the two combined hotel industries (industry code 411 plus industry code 412) and the non-hotel industries, using the criteria of the NAICS (North American Industry Classification System). Findings – The three findings of this study are summarized as follows. First, the two hotel industries impacted the state economy due to a high induced effect from output and a considerable direct, indirect and induced effect from labor income and employment, despite their relatively lower multipliers and the economic downturn in the state. Second, the hotel-related industry had a strong inter-dependent relationship with the finance and insurance-related industries. Finally, while the hotel industry generated more labor income and employment than did the other accommodations industry, it is interesting that the other accommodations industry created more output than did the hotel industry. Research limitations/implications – Other than limitations pertaining to assumptions of input-output model, an input-output analysis alone cannot become the best analytical method for decision-making. The study was a cross-sectional study with 2009 data and did not incorporate a time-series flow of the state economic structure over several decades. A study of the inter-relationship among varied states bordering the state could be worthwhile to identify the flow of inputs and outputs. Originality/value – Despite a considerable number of research in measuring the economic impacts, this paper was of great significance, in that the economic impact of the hotel industry that has never been performed in a particular state of the USA was analyzed. Additionally, these quantified economic data and results should be helpful to future plans and policies associated with the hotel industry.

“…In tourism and recreation management it is still common practice to apply traditional input-output (IO) economic impact models. These models are used by many consultants and academic researchers (Çela et al, 2009;Kashian and Pfeifer-Luckett, 2011;Hanly, 2012) despite their well-known limitations (Wanhill, 1988;Archer, 1989;Briassoulis, 1991;Sun, 2007;Miller and Blair, 2009). In traditional IO models relative prices are fixed, and therefore input substitution is not possible (the Leontief production function).…”

Usefulness of Non-Linear Input—Output Models for Economic Impact Analyses in Tourism and Recreation

2015

In tourism and recreation management it is still common practice to apply traditional input–output (IO) economic impact models, despite their well-known limitations. In this study the authors analyse the usefulness of applying a non-linear input–output (NLIO) model, in which price-induced input substitution is accounted for. For large changes in final demand, a NLIO model is more useful than a traditional IO model, leading to higher or lower impacts. For small changes in final demand input substitution is less likely. In that case the application of the NLIO may lead to the same results as a traditional IO model. To analyse changes of subsidies, a traditional IO model is not an option. A more flexible model, such as the NLIO, is required. The NLIO model forces researchers to make choices about capacity constraints, factor mobility and the substitution elasticity, which can be difficult but create flexibility and allow for more realism.
