Tourism contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross Value Added (GVA)

Abstract

The overall evolution of the economy is usually appreciated by two macroeconomic indicators GDP and GVA, which by their value gives us clear information on the state of the economy. Gross domestic product (GDP), the main macroeconomic aggregate of national accounts, is the final result of the production activity of resident producer units and which corresponds to the value of goods and services produced by these units for final consumption. Gross Value Added (GVA) is the balance of the production account and is measured as the difference between the value of the goods and services produced (valued at basic prices) and the intermediate consumption (valued at the buyer's prices), thus representing the new value created in the production process. GVA is calculated before calculating the consumption of fixed capital. Since 1990, we have been confronted with a major restructuring of the way GDP and GVA are created due to the intensive process of restructuring the economy. In the paper we will analyze the basis of the processing of national statistical data, how the tourism component of the tertiary sector contributes to the formation of the aggregate indicators presented above. In 2016, Romania had a GDP of 169.6 billion euros, below the Czech level (174.4 billion euros), Greece (175.9 billion euros) and Portugal (184.9 billion euros). Data series published by the European Statistical Office show that in the first quarter of this year, Romania's GDP adjusted for seasonal influences was 44.2 billion euros, while the value of GDP- Greece was 43.96 billion euros, the Czech Republic's 44.85 billion euros, and Portugal's 47.37 billion euros. In terms of GVA training, Romania is included in the European Union's Statistical Yearbook 201 6 as the country with the largest contributions to the Gross Value Added in the economy from industry, agriculture and construction, simultaneously with the lowest Public sector contribution (administration, defense, education, health and social welfare, etc.) Although professional, scientific and technical activities have seen the largest increase in the share of Gross Value Added training, they remain below the average of 10.4% Registered on the whole EU. There is an increase in the art, entertainment, recreation and other activities related to tourism - which brought us near the European customs and contributed to the "structural convection" of the Romanian economy. Touristic activity, particularly complex, with upstream and downstream implications, generates a tourism industry, whose components contribute to the formation of GDP and national Gross Value Added We will analyze the share of tourism in Romania's Gross Domestic Product in the period 2008-2014, gross value added in the tourism industry direct gross value added from tourism and gross domestic product of tourism in 2013 and 2014.

Spatial-Temporal Variation and Influencing Factors of Regional Tourism Carbon Emission Efficiency in China Based on Calculating Tourism Value Added

“…Anda et al calculated the tourism value added in Romania from 2008 to 2014 through the Tourism Satellite Account. The results show that the tourism value added in Romania accounted for 2.1% of its GDP in 2014 [41]. Using the input-output table, Zeng and Cai measured the tourism value added in 30 provincial regions (not including the Tibet Autonomous Region) in mainland China in 2000 and 2005, which were 389.083 billion yuan and 860.345 billion yuan, respectively, and found that the contribution rate of the tourism industry in most regions was concentrated in 3-8% [42].…”

Factors affecting the green behaviour of hotel managers

“…In the business world, global competition and increasing consumer environmental awareness drive businesses to adopt green management approaches (Zhu et al, 2005). Tourism contributes to approximately 10% of the global gross domestic product and significantly influences the economic development of developing countries at tourist destinations (Anda et al, 2020). However, uncontrolled tourism development and unsustainable management policies can negatively affect the environment.…”

Investigation of the Effects of University Field Courses on Distance Education

“…In addition, one of the most important functions required by the life we live in is continuous learning. While teaching activities are given formally in educational institutions, it is known that the teaching function can be performed with different teaching methods with the developing technology [4] [29]. At the moment of using information and technology, while tools such as letters, newspapers, radio, and television are used, it is known that computers, smartphones, especially the internet have a much more important place at the moment [15].…”
