Tourist expenditure in Puerto Rico increased by 10.1% per annum during the 1970s, contributing significantly to the economy. Using the econometric model of the Puerto Rico Planning Board (outlined in an appendix) this paper aims to analyse the impact of tourism on the gross domestic product (GDP), the output, and the employment of Puerto Rico. Results show that although tourism only accounts for about 5.0% of GDP, it is important in terms of its direct and indirect linkages to other sectors of the economy, and also has significant impact on job creation.
