12.b.1 Implementation of standard accounting tools to monitor the economic and environmental aspects of tourism sustainability

12.b Develop and implement tools to monitor sustainable development impacts for sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products

Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

The indicator “Implementation of standard accounting tools to monitor the economic and environmental aspects of tourism sustainability” relates to the degree of implementation in countries of the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) and the System of Environmental and Economic Accounts (SEEA) tables that are to date considered most relevant and feasible for monitoring sustainability in tourism.

These tables are:

• TSA Table 1 on inbound tourism expenditure

• TSA Table 2 on domestic tourism expenditure

• TSA Table 3 on outbound tourism expenditure

• TSA Table 4 on internal tourism expenditure

• TSA Table 5 on production accounts of tourism industries

• TSA Table 6 domestic supply and internal tourism consumption

• TSA Table 7 on employment in tourism industries

• SEEA table water flows

• SEEA table energy flows

• SEEA table GHG emissions

• SEEA table solid waste

The TSA tables should be implemented following the Tourism Satellite Account: Recommended Methodological Framework 2008 and the environmental tables should be implemented following the System of Economic-Environmental Accounting 2012.

SDG indicator 12.b.1 measures the level of statistical capacity at the national and global levels to credibly and comparably monitor the sustainability of tourism, especially the economic and environmental dimensions. 

Implementation of standard accounting tools to monitor the economic and environmental aspects of tourism sustainability = total number of tables produced by countries out of the tables identified below: • TSA Table 1 on inbound tourism expenditure • TSA Table 2 on domestic tourism expenditure • TSA Table 3 on outbound tourism expenditure • TSA Table 4 on internal tourism expenditure • TSA Table 5 on production accounts of tourism industries • TSA Table 6 domestic supply and internal tourism consumption • TSA Table 7 on employment in tourism industries • SEEA table water flows • SEEA table energy flows • SEEA table GHG emissions • SEEA table solid waste.
