As a consequence, not only is the presence increasingly evident of national statistics office officials (both those responsible for statistics production and those responsible for national accounts) as well as that of balance-of-payments compilers, but also there is greater awareness of the benefits resulting from a tourism satellite account for the compilation of national accounts (basically in terms of improved estimation of household final consumption expenditure by products, and future insight into some less well known activities and products, like travel agencies, package tours and time-sharing arrangements etc.), in addition to the strengthening of the leadership role of national statistical offices as custodians of the general statistical system.
Ceci a également permis une plus grande sensibilisation aux avantages résultant du Compte satellite du tourisme pour l'établissement des comptes nationaux (celui-ci permettant une estimation plus fine des dépenses de consommation finale des ménages par produits, des prévisions concernant certaines activités et produits moins connus - comme les agences de voyage, les voyages tout compris et les systèmes de temps partagé -, etc.), et un renforcement du rôle de direction des offices nationaux de statistique, en tant que dépositaires du Système statistique général.
