Abstract

This article analyzes the importance of tourism activity in Mexico by identifying the interindustry relationships that this sector produces in the productive structure of the country.  For the sectoral compatibility of the tourism satellite account and the input-output matrix, estimates are made for the year 2008; with the objective of quantifying the direct, indirect and induced effects produced by tourist spending on production, employment and remunerations. The results show a 68% increase in employment based on a coefficient of 2.51 jobs created directly for each million pesos of final demand in the tourism sector, which means 4.22 total jobs.
