One of the world’s largest industries that creates 1 in 12 of all jobs on the plant; tourism, can be a conduit for peace building, mainstreaming economically lagging areas, and to uplift vulnerable communities.
CRST believes that enterprises involved in the tourism economy, should design and deliver products that support the environment, preserve a nation’s cultural heritage and enhance livelihoods within local economies.
A Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) can help you achieve maximum impact, with a minimum footprint!
TSA’s (Tourism Satellite Accounts) designed by CRST can track expenditures and the economic impact of travelers in a region. The census and surveys will identify the re-flow of traveler spend: among local businesses, local employees and to the government as taxes; and where an enterprise could minimize the leakage of traveler-spend to non-local employees and businesses outside the region.
