The
Asia - Pacific Ministerial Summit on TSA aims to promote and enhance
awareness on the TSA, identify the challenges faced by countries in the
region, and develop strategies and action plan for the efficient and
cost effective formulation and implementation of TSA.
The
Regional Workshop seeks to discuss the need to come up with comparable
tourism statistics as well as detailed and technical requirements for
compiling data/ inputs for the TSA. More importantly, the workshop aims to develop capacity of
concerned agencies and improve existing statistical systems to
facilitate the achievement of strategies and action plan defined by the
ministers. Specifically,
the Workshop aims to improve the statistical capacity in the field of
tourism statistics to carry out the following initiatives:
-
promote
the development of the system of tourism statistics as a necessary
condition to make progress in the measurement and analysis of the
socio-economic impact of tourism; and
-
begin
the tasks contemplated in the different stages recommended by the
WTO for the development of TSA.
