Building and using a framework to analyse the economic impacts of policies targeted at the tourism economy in Scotland

该项目分析旨在发展苏格兰可持续旅游业的政策对全系统的经济影响，可持续旅游业是苏格兰政府的“增长部门”之一。过去使用经济模型评估旅游消费影响的研究往往依赖于不同的统计数据和“现成”的建模技术，因此未能充分捕捉旅游活动供需的复杂性。该项目协调旅游业的定义的数据，并制定了一个旅游业特定的大规模经济模型，以捕捉旅游业在苏格兰经济中的作用。该项目揭示了旅游业和其他经济部门之间的相互作用，而该模型的功能现实地捕捉到旅游业目前的问题，特别是过度旅游和旅游业特有的供应限制。这些结果将提高对苏格兰旅游业经济特征和文献中区域旅游业的理解。此外，它还将生成协调该行业需求和供给侧观点的经济数据集，并在苏格兰经济模型内开发学术上新颖的旅游业特定待遇。

This project analyses the system-wide economic impact of policies aimed at developing sustainable tourism in Scotland, one of the Scottish Government's "growth sectors". Past studies using economic models to assess the impact of tourism spending have often relied on disparate statistics and 'off-the-shelf' modelling techniques and therefore failed to fully capture the complexity of supply and demand of touristic activities. This project reconciles definitions of tourism in the data and develops a tourism-specific large scale economic model to capture the role of tourism in Scotland's economy. The project sheds light on the interaction between tourism and the rest of the economy, while the model's features realistically capture current issues in tourism, specifically overtourism and tourism-specific supply constraints. The outcomes will improve understanding of the economic characteristics of tourism in Scotland and of regional tourism in the literature. In addition, it will produce economic datasets reconciling demand-and supply-side perspectives on the sector and develop an academically novel tourism-specific treatment within an economic model of Scotland.
