Impacts of the World Recession and Economic Crisis on Tourism: North America |
Abstract:
This article has been prepared as part of the International Academy for the Study of Tourism’s initiative to provide a better
understanding of the impact that the economic crisis of 2008-2009 has had, is having, and will have on the well-being and
performance of the global tourism industry. More specifically, it seeks to serve as an information “backgrounder” for the North
American components of the study. As such, it provides a concise assessment of the current and evolving status of the tourism
sector in each of the three countries in North America. Information on Canada was drawn from data provided by Statistics
Canada, the country’s centralized government-funded statistical agency, as well as information bulletins issued by the Canadian
Tourism Commission. Information on Mexico was drawn from a number of official reports prepared by several government
agencies. Information on tourism in the United States was assembled primarily from available data from the U.S. Bureau of
Economic Analysis from their U.S. Travel and Tourism Satellite Account system. In summary, the present backgrounder reveals
that tourism in Canada and the United States has been, and is being, affected by the current economic crisis, and it appears
likely that it will be further affected in the near future. In contrast, tourism in Mexico has been affected more directly and to
a much greater extent by the swine flu pandemic, exchange rates, and weather conditions than by the economic crisis itself. |
