1. The research analyzed the potential economic contribution of regional tourism development in China through a comparative analysis of 30 provinces. It found both strong and weak backward linkages for the accommodation and catering sector in some provinces, with six provinces exhibiting strong linkages. The research is limited by a lack of data from some regions and an aggregation of accommodation and catering sectors.
2. An analysis of Mozambique's tourism social accounting matrix found tourism to be a moderate sized sector that has potential to significantly contribute to aggregate economic development. However, weaknesses already exist and careful attention must be paid to the full tourism value chain.
3. A quantitative analysis of tourism's contribution to economic growth in Italy, Mexico and other countries
