1 1 Value Creation of Tourism Sector: In the case of 10 ASEAN Economies, applies to Jamaica Apirada Chinprateep, School of Development Economics National Institute of Development Administration Bangkok, Thailand
2 2 Most-visited countries by international tourist arrivals in 2013 Source: WTO
3 3 Tourism Towards 2030: Actual trend and forecast source: WTO 2014
4 AEC 4 Strong point Well-established tourism in member countries: Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand already have high annual visitor arrivals. Political awareness: The importance of tourism is well recognised among many ASEAN countries, as highlighted through ministerial ASEAN meetings and summits. A full-time ASEAN Secretariat already exists to coordinate cooperation and integration efforts. Safety: ASEAN member countries have traditionally been considered safe and visitor-friendly. Well-developed business sectors: e.g. Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia are also being joined by emerging economies, such as Vietnam, Lao PDR and Cambodia. Well-developed entertainment options: Countries already offer shopping, nightlife activities, etc. Well-developed linkages to external markets are in place. Greater Mekong Sub region (GMS) alliance: ASEAN integration should lead to synergistic effects. Access: e.g. GMS countries may not necessarily require air travel. Member countries have unique destination images. World-class airports facilitate travel: e.g. Singapore Changi and Kuala Lumpur International Airport, as well as the region s newest airport, Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok, set to open later in the year. Diverse tourism resources within the region range from nature to culture, religion, sports, and health and wellness. Seasonality patterns are similar for all ASEAN member countries, which is conducive to multi-country tour patterns. Some member countries have widespread English language capability. Well-developed intra-asean tourism already exists. Short-distance travel potential is well suited to the regional population s income. Weak point Countries are at different levels of inbound and outbound market maturity. Countries are at different levels of manpower standards. Possible competing strategies are in play: e.g. more than one country aspiring to be a strategic hub, or countries competing to be world leaders in particular attractions. Poor infrastructure in some countries. Progress may be slow due to extra levels of policy-making, i.e. ministries of tourism/commerce and ASEAN, which may also conflict. Most existing collaborative networks among countries are weak. Infrastructure improvements tend to fall outside of ASEAN initiatives. Under-developed market intelligence remains unresolved. Poor information and communications technologies (ICT) persist in some countries. Some member countries still focus on visitor arrival numbers, with less attention to tourism yields and dispersion. There is inactive collaboration with national flag carriers and discrepancies exist. Marketing campaigns are not integrated and lack a consistent message in building tourist destination images. Trade and investment need to be considered, as well as inter-firm linkages. Visas are required for travellers from outside the region. Some source markets are niche-oriented and do not align well with a multi-destination approach. Table 1: International visitor arrivals to 9 ASEAN member countries, Source:
5 WTO Define Sustainable Tourism Sustainable tourism development meets the needs of present tourists and host regions while protecting and enhancing opportunities for the future. It is envisaged as leading to management of all resources in such a way that economic, social and aesthetic needs can be fulfilled while maintaining cultural integrity, essential ecological processes, biological diversity and life support systems 5
6 6 A need for comprehensive methodology framework Problems Sustainable Tourism Studies: Diverse and Complex Due to this issue, a proposed unified methodology : Sustainable Tourism Benchmarking Tool-STBT (UNCTAD, 2007)
7 What do we have so far? Conventional studies often deal with one component of tourism such as estimation based on no. of arrival receipt per tourist or average length of stay Frechtling 1999: Tourism account methodology Miller 2000: Covering all aspects of sustainability Environment issue both physical and human Employment Financial leakages Consumer both satisfaction and role 7
8 8 Sustainable Tourism Benchmarking Tool(STBT) Objective Ability to detect the sustainability problems Ability to provide policymakers an proper information for a better decision and a better prospects for sustainable tourism development
9 9 Why do we need a methodology? Reason Growth in tourism expenditure: Especially in developing country,results in negative effect for local population; Shortage, Increase in food price, water supply, etc. For tourism sector; Loss in market shares, tourism expenditure declining over time Consequence A methodology that could cover the complex issues and provide benchmarks which allow developing country to improve the sustainability

48 48 From Table 1, the results show the factors affecting the income from eco-friendly and rural tourism in one member country (Thailand as a case study) of ASEAN from It was found that the number of tourists and the population have a positive effect on the income from eco-friendly and rural tourism. Tourists are interested most in ASEAN region herself, then America and Europe. Local tourists are quite substantial.
49 Energy balance in 2030: 000 Tons of Oil Equivalent 49 As a result The tourism sector counts not only its own but also mingles in the economy and relates to many activities. A good planning should consider demand and supply, social aspects, natural resources, as well as international relationship. According to this study, international, as well, local tourists show a statistical correlation with sustainable aspects of tourism and this is the currently benevolent trend for enjoying our world and its natural beauty to be sustained for a long period of time.
