77. At the broadest level, suppliers are categorised into two categories.

SUPPLIER ELEMENT CLASSIFICATION
Category
Description
3.1Non-commercial suppliers
3.2Commercial suppliers


78. No further breakdown is recommended for the category 3.1 Non-commercial suppliers. This category usually includes friends or relatives of the visitor. It also includes public service authorities who provide services or facilities (e.g. barbecue and picnic areas) for which there is no direct charge and any other supplier not included in the category 3.2 Commercial suppliers.

79. The Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) provides a framework for classifying and identifying commercial suppliers (category 3.2) of relevant goods/services.

80. A linkage between the product element and the supplier element enables the linkage between the demand side (i.e. the consumer) and the supply side (i.e. the supplier).

81. Any concordance (i.e. linkage) between a commodity (product) classification and an industry classification is imprecise. There is not a direct relationship between commodity categories and industry categories. While a commodity classification identifies different commodities, an industry classification, such as the ANZSIC, identifies categories. Each category represents a type of economic activity (such as manufacturing motor vehicles or providing accommodation). Businesses are allocated to a category of economic activity according to their main activity.

82. There are difficulties in trying to link a commodity classification with an ANZSIC type industry classification. These include:

(a) For any particular commodity category, the associated economic activity category (or categories) can contain businesses which do not produce that commodity. Any one supplier category may overlap several product categories. For example, the ANZSIC category Long Distance Bus Transport (6121) is shown as a supplier of product 1. Package travel, package holidays and package tours. Not all of the enterprises in this ANZSIC category will produce package tours. Many will provide transport services only.

(b) While business units are allocated to an industry activity category on the basis of their main activity, many businesses have significant secondary activities and produce a range of different commodities. Therefore, the total production of a commodity often cannot be identified from the activities of only those businesses whose main activity is the production of that commodity. Where production of that commodity is a secondary activity, that production will be hidden in another industry activity category.

83. This means that figures such as turnover for any industry category may:

(a) include activity which correctly belongs to another category

(b) exclude a large proportion of the activity of interest.

84. For tourism statistics these problems are compounded by the requirement that only the activity which results from visitor demand is of interest. Only a proportion of total business turnover in a relevant category is likely to be of interest. In practice it is often impossible to identify the proportion of a business's activity that results from visitor demand.

85. Due to the problems discussed above, the concordance provided below is imprecise. The list of ANZSIC categories should not be taken to define the tourism industry.

86. Internationally, the WTO has developed a provisional tourism supply side classification, the Standard International Classification of Tourism Activities (SICTA), which is based on the international equivalent of ANZSIC.

87. The following list shows the components of the product element (first column) and the ANZSIC categories which include the main suppliers of these goods/services (second column).

88. The table above provides a very comprehensive listing of the goods and services visitors may use and the industries which provide them. For some industry surveys it may be more useful (and more practicable) to focus on tourism characteristic industries (a Tourism Satellite Account concept). Tourism characteristic industries are those industries that would either cease to exist in their present form, producing their present product(s), or would be significantly affected if tourism were to cease. In the Australian Tourism Satellite Account, for an industry to be 'characteristic', at least 25% of its output must be consumed by visitors. (The key concepts used in the Australian Tourism Satellite Account, together with an explanation of the update methodology and the techniques used to calculate some of the measures, are available in the Explanatory Notes to the 2001-02 issue of the Australian Tourism Satellite Account.)

89. Appendix 3 provides a list of tourism characteristic industries. Appendix 3 also provides a concordance between tourism related industries in the Australian Tourism Satellite Account and ANZSIC industries.
