Abstract
As a popular method in quantifying the economic contribution of tourism in a macroeconomic framework, Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) also represents at the same time, an international standard in tourism statistics, being endorsed in 2008 by United Nations and other international organizations in the document Tourism Satellite Account: Recommended Methodological Framework (TSA:RMF 2008). Although TSA:RMF 2008 comprises a set of ten tables recommended to be compiled by countries, there are two tables which are not considered a priority and where "specific conceptual challenges" have to be faced. This is the case of TSA table 8 "Tourism gross fixed capital formation of tourism industries and other industries" (equivalent with investments) and TSA table 9 "Tourism collective consumption by products and level of government".
