The SUPPLIER

The components of SUPPLIER

35. At the broadest level, SUPPLIERS are categorised as:



CodeDescription

3.1Non-commercial suppliers
3.2Commercial suppliers


36. No further breakdown is recommended for '3.1 Non-commercial suppliers'. This category will usually comprise friends or relatives of the visitor. It would also include public service authorities who provide services or facilities (e.g. barbecue areas, etc.) for which there is no direct charge.

37. For '3.2 Commercial suppliers', the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) provides a framework for classifying and identifying commercial SUPPLIERS of relevant goods/services.

38. To enable the linkage between the demand side (the CONSUMER) and the supply side (the SUPPLIER), a linkage is required between the PRODUCT and the SUPPLIER elements.

39. However, any concordance (linkage) between a commodity (ie. 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 of which 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 what their main activity is.

40. There are a number of difficulties in trying to link a commodity classification with an ANZSIC type industry classification, that is:
      • For any particular commodity category, the associated economic activity category, or categories, can contain businesses which have no production of the particular commodity. Any particular SUPPLIER category may overlap a number of PRODUCT categories. For example, the ANZSIC category '6121 LONG DISTANCE BUS TRANSPORT' is shown as a SUPPLIER of PRODUCT '1. Package travel, package tours etc.'. However, not all of the enterprises in this ANZSIC category will produce package tours, many confining themselves to providing transport services only.
      • 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 wide 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. The effect of this is that figures, such as turnover, for any industry category may:
          • comprise, to a large extent, activity which correctly belongs to another category; and
          • exclude a large proportion of the particular activity of interest.
        For example, the concordance below shows for the PRODUCT category '4.1.1 Scheduled flights' the ANZSIC category '6401 SCHEDULED INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT'. However, businesses in this industry category may also produce, as secondary activities, some non-scheduled passenger services, which would relate to PRODUCT category '4.1.2 Non-scheduled flights'. Consequently, for each of the products 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, the corresponding industry category will include production of commodities other than the relevant commodity and will also exclude some production of the relevant commodity.

41. For tourism statistics these problems are compounded by the requirement that only the activity which results from visitor demand is of interest. Thus, only a proportion of turnover of a business in a relevant category is likely to be of interest. In practice, however, it is often not possible to identify the proportion of a business's activity which results from demand from visitors.

42. Because of the problems discussed above, the concordance provided below is not a precise one, and the list of ANZSIC categories should not be taken to define the tourism 'industry'. Further development work in the area of PRODUCT and SUPPLIER classifications is required to enable a more precise linkage between their respective categories. As a first step 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.

43. The following list shows, in the first column, the components of the PRODUCT element, and, in the second column, the ANZSIC categories which would include the main suppliers of these goods/services.
