Establishment and Practice of the Statistical Indicator System for All-Area-Advancing Tourism in China

As a new concept and mode in China to promote the coordinated development of the regional economy and society driven by the tourism industry, All-area-advancing tourism refers to the unified planning and layout, optimization of public services, comprehensive overall management, and marketing of a certain region as a complete destination with tourism as the dominant industry. This research established the All-area-advancing tourism statistical indicator system which is committed to calculate the contribution of All-area-advancing tourism to the national economy from both the supply and demand sides within the framework of the system of national account (SNA). Meanwhile, the established indicator system of All-area-advancing tourism has been applied to calculate the output of the tourism industry in Songjiang district, Shanghai, China. The results indicate that the All-area-advancing tourism indicator system can better fit the current system of national account and reflect the contribution of the tourism industry to the national economy in a more comprehensive way.
