Introduction to MST:
Measuring the Sustainability of
Tourism
![Page 3: Measuring the Sustainability of Tourism (MST)...UNWTO/INRouTe Sub-national Measurement and Analysis – Towards a Set of UNWTO Guidelines (2013) 2013 Bali Conference on Tourism: An](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071104/5fdd71ccbefd5b1dd65606d9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why MST?
“[..] is a continuous process
and requires constant
monitoring of impacts”
Sustainable Tourism
“Tourism that takes full
account of its current and
future economic, social and
environmental impacts,
addressing the needs of
visitors, the industries, the
environment and host
communities”
• UN 2030 Agenda: understand and monitor the
role of tourism in achieving the Sustainable
Development Goals
• To support policy and track progress, Member
States need data that is comparable,
comprehensive and coherent between
national – subnational
Data gap: Tourism statistics currently focuses
on economic impact. Need statistics on
tourism’s social and environmental aspects.

Aspects of MST
UNSD / UNWTO supported macro
project with 3 key lines of work:
1. Development of a statistical standard
2. Implementation in countries: pilots,
capacity building
3. Data collection / reporting
![Page 5: Measuring the Sustainability of Tourism (MST)...UNWTO/INRouTe Sub-national Measurement and Analysis – Towards a Set of UNWTO Guidelines (2013) 2013 Bali Conference on Tourism: An](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071104/5fdd71ccbefd5b1dd65606d9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Developing a statistical
framework
Development of SF-MST follows a standard UN process
Multidisciplinary stakeholder engagement
Innovation in statistics, 1st statistical framework to integrate:
• 3 pillars of sustainability
• Global, national, regional & local
Advantages of statistical approach: trust, comparability, relevance, (spatial)
coherence
Build on existing statistical standards
• SNA, TSA, SEEA, Labour

Placing SF-MST in context
![Page 8: Measuring the Sustainability of Tourism (MST)...UNWTO/INRouTe Sub-national Measurement and Analysis – Towards a Set of UNWTO Guidelines (2013) 2013 Bali Conference on Tourism: An](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071104/5fdd71ccbefd5b1dd65606d9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Key benefits of SF-MST• The foundation for providing a single, coherent and complete picture of the
sustainability of tourism
• A common language for discussing the sustainability of tourism
• The ability to compare the performance of the tourism sector and the impacts of different policies on a consistent basis
• A basis for • identifying and assessing opportunities to use new data sources • improving co-ordination in data collection and organization, • improving the effectiveness of training and capacity building, improving
institutional arrangements for the management of statistics on tourism.

SF-MST: Spatial aspectsSF-MST recommends developing, progressively, a regional tourisminformation system (R-TIS)
Core themes of interest within an R-TIS:
• Visitor flows including both international and domestic visitors
• Accommodation
• Characteristics of tourism businesses in the region
• Visitor expenditure
• Employment and jobs in tourism industries
• Decent work
• Resident population
• Household income (average and distribution)
• Environmental flows: water use, energy use, GHG emissions, solidwaste
• Land use and land cover

Sustainable tourism: Matchingdata and policy interests
Discussion: Does your country have data to start measuring the key policy interests identified earlier?
Economic data:
Environmental data:
Social data:
If you don’t know – which agencies would you ask? Are their international data sets you might consider?
![Page 30: Measuring the Sustainability of Tourism (MST)...UNWTO/INRouTe Sub-national Measurement and Analysis – Towards a Set of UNWTO Guidelines (2013) 2013 Bali Conference on Tourism: An](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071104/5fdd71ccbefd5b1dd65606d9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
SF-MST: Lessons
Getting started is possible – data are available
Modular approach is needed – don’t think about doing everything at once
Clarify the policy question first, make measurement relevant to context
Extension of TSA to integrate environmental flows is the most common entrypoint
Further testing needed to demonstrate use of MST at destination level
Clear potential of a common framework to allow for exchanging experiencesand better supporting decision making

Summary: Continuing the
journey of tourism statistics
![Page 32: Measuring the Sustainability of Tourism (MST)...UNWTO/INRouTe Sub-national Measurement and Analysis – Towards a Set of UNWTO Guidelines (2013) 2013 Bali Conference on Tourism: An](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071104/5fdd71ccbefd5b1dd65606d9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Tourism = visitors& industries(basictourismstatistics)
Why?
• Confusion, users needed a common language
• More and more people travelling for tourism purposes
• Awareness that tourism is demand side phenomenon
How?
• statistical approach
• scientific, cognisant of other official statistics, comparability, stable yet flexible, aspirational (existing ≠needed), user-centric
What?
• UN consensus / standard
• Compilation Guide, capacity building, training, technical assistance
• Most comprehensive global database
![Page 33: Measuring the Sustainability of Tourism (MST)...UNWTO/INRouTe Sub-national Measurement and Analysis – Towards a Set of UNWTO Guidelines (2013) 2013 Bali Conference on Tourism: An](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071104/5fdd71ccbefd5b1dd65606d9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Tourism = economic impact(Tourism SatelliteAccount)
Why?
• Awareness about tourism’s economic role + developmentpotential
• Need for credibility
How?
• System of National Accounts “satellite” (magnifying glass ontourism)
• Linking demand + supply
• GDP, GVA, (full time equivalent) jobs (≠ persons employed)
What?
• UN consensus / standard
• Capacity building, training, technical assistance
• Tourism Direct GDP, production accounts
• ± 90 countries with TSA
• Economic impact studies
![Page 34: Measuring the Sustainability of Tourism (MST)...UNWTO/INRouTe Sub-national Measurement and Analysis – Towards a Set of UNWTO Guidelines (2013) 2013 Bali Conference on Tourism: An](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071104/5fdd71ccbefd5b1dd65606d9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Tourism = economy, environment, society(MeasuringtheSustainabilityof Tourism)
Why?
• Better measure to better manage
• 2030 Agenda/SDGs + UN Statistical Commission
• Manila Call for Action 2017
How?
• Statistical approach
• Standing on the shoulders of giants
• Structured, multidisciplinary engagement
• Continuous pilot testing + feedback loops
What?
• Economic, social, environmental + spatial
• UN endorsement
• Countries have tool to produce more relevant, comparable, spatially coherent data
• Implementation roadmap
• SDG tourism indicators database
