The Economic and Social Planning Program Evaluation Project recommended the development of a Tourism Satellite Account (CST) for Puerto Rico. This report presents an initial completed version of the CST for 2002. The satellite account shows in detail the production and supply of goods and services available to tourists, purchases made by tourists, and estimates of added value and employment related to tourism. These accounts are directly related to other economic accounts in Puerto Rico, mainly to input-output accounts, income accounts by industry, and gross national product accounts.
Analyze tourism-related production, supply, tourist purchases, added value and employment in Puerto Rico for 2002, according to the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA), and their relationship with other economic accounts.
