Abstract and Figures

Not all of the revenue generated from tourist expenditure in a tourism destination such as Bali reaches the tourism actors and community in the area, because part of it goes outside the region or abroad; this is commonly referred to as "leakage". The purpose of this research was to simulate the impact of this tourism leakage on the growth of economic sectors, employment and income distribution. The simulation, based on the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for Bali 2012 (109x109), required primary data obtained directly from primary sources such as households and hotels, and secondary data obtained from government agencies such as BPS Statistics Indonesia - Bali Province, etc. Data analysis methods comprised: (1) descriptive analysis, and (2) analysis of the simulation. The results of the research show that the highest percentage of tourism leakage was found in 4 and 5 star chain hotels (55.31%). Lower levels were found in 1, 2 and 3 star hotels (15.66%), followed by 4 and 5 star non-chain hotels (7.14%), with the lowest leakage being in non-star hotels (2.0%). The average leakage across all types of accommodation was 19.48%. The result of the simulation shows that as tourism leakage increases, economic growth is reduced, employment in the production sectors declines, and income distribution becomes increasingly unequal. Conversely, when tourism leakage is reduced, economic growth increases, employment expands, and income distribution becomes more equal.

INTRODUCTION
Background
Bali is one of the 34 provinces in Indonesia. It has a strategic location in the middle of Indonesia, flanked
by the Australian and Asian continents, and by two vast oceans, namely the Indian and the Pacific Oceans.
Moreover, its unique customs, culture and natural beauty have made Bali island a popular tourism destination,
as evidenced by an increase in tourist arrivals every year. The number of foreign tourists visiting Bali each

year continues to increase. From various data sources, such as Bali Government Tourism Office (2015) and
Bali Statistical Office (2015), it can be seen that the number of foreign tourists visiting Bali has increased
rapidly from only 11,278 people in 1969, to 490,729 in 1990, 1,412,839 in 2000 and 3,278,598 in 2013.
During the period from 2007 up to 2015, the average growth rate in foreign tourist direct arrivals to Bali
was 15 % per year (Bali Government Tourism Office 2015). This has led to a substantial increase in total
expenditure by tourists as injectors of funds intoBali’s economy, with this increase expected to have a
multiplier impact that creates income and employment in the economic sectors in the province of Bali.
However in reality the total tourist expenditure in Bali over a certain period of time has not all
translated into incomes for the local tourism actors and community, because part of it has leaked out
before entering the Balinese economy. It can be seen from a study by Suryawardani (2014) and Suryawardani
et al. (2016) who calculated tourism leakage on accommodation in Bali based on macro analysis by using
Social Accounting matrix (SAM) found that (i) Leakage from Non-star rated hotels was 2.0%, (ii) Leakage
from 1, 2 & 3 Star-rated hotels was 15.7%, (iii) Leakage from 4&5 Star-rated non-chain hotels was 7.1%,
(iv) Leakage from 4&5 Star-rated chain hotels was 55.3%, and (v) and average leakage from all types of
hotels was 19.5%. The results of calculation of tourism leakage of accommodation in Bali based on micro
analysisby Suryawardani et al. (2014) showed that imported beverages, imported foods, imported fruit and
vegetables were sources of leakage in all types of hotels. Meanwhile, profit transfer for foreign owners was
also the main source of leakage in 4&5 Star-rated chain hotel followed by management fees paid to
international chain management, payment for online fees, payment for foreign employees. These leakage,
especially in the accommodation sector, is caused by the import of various products and services from
abroad for needs ranging from durable products to consumable products such as agricultural products
(Suryawardani et al. 2014). So tourism leakage will obviously impact on the Balinese economy.
Research Objectives
The purpose of this research was to simulate the impact of tourism leakage on growth in various sectors
of the economy, employment and income distribution.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Tourism Leakage
Many countries have chosen tourism as a tool for economic development. Economic leakage is a
phenomenon that always occurs in the tourism industry of every country. Although this issue has been
mentioned for over a half century, it seems that only a few researchers have done a thorough analysis of
this subject. Despite this fact, it by no means implies that economic leakage should be underestimated
because if a high level of leakage prevails in a region, it could decelerate that region’s movement towards
economic sustainability (Krugmanand Obstfeld 2006; Polenske1989; Supradist 2004).
Leakage is used to refer the amount spent on importing goods and services to meet the needs of
tourists. Leakages occur when the local economy is unable to provide reliable, continuous, competitively
priced supply of the required product or service and of a consistent quality to meet the market demand
(King, 1985; Lorton 2015; Round1989). Thus, leakage is the way in which revenue generated by tourism is
lost to other countries’ economies. It is an intrinsic component of international tourism and thus is present

Impact of Tourism Leakage on the Growth of Economic Sectors, Employment and Income Distribution in Bali, Indonesia
in every country, to widely varying degrees. Leakage may be so significant in some developing countries
that it partially neutralizes the money generated by tourism. Leakage occurs through six different
mechanisms(Unluonen et al. 2011):
(1) Goods and services. Many countries must purchase goods and services to satisfy their visitors.
This includes the cost of raw materials used to make tourism-related goods, such as souvenirs.
For starting tourism industries, this is a significant problem, as some countries must import as
much as 50% of tourism-related products;
(2) Infrastructure. Some less economically developed countries do not have the domestic ability to
build tourism-related infrastructure (hotels, airports, etc.). The cost of such infrastructure then
leaks out of the country;
(3) Foreign factors of production. Smaller countries often require foreign investment to start their
tourism industry. Thus, profits from tourism may be lost to foreign investors. In addition, travel
agents outside of the destination country remove money from that market as well;
(4) Promotional expenditure. Many countries spend considerable sums of money for advertisements
and publicity. Maintaining a presence abroad may increase the volume of tourists to a country
but also represents a considerable loss of money into foreign markets;
(5) Transfer pricing. Many foreign companies manipulate their pricing to reduce taxes and other
duties. In smaller or less developed countries, where many tourism-related companies may be
foreign owned, this can represent a substantial loss of income;
(6) Tax exemptions. Countries with a small tourism industry may have to give tax exemptions or
other offers to increase foreign investment. While this may enlarge the tourism industry there, it
must be taken into account as an instrument of income loss (Archer and Fletcher 1996;
Krugmanand Obstfeld 2006; Unluonen, et al. 2011).
Leakages are payments made outside the destination economy: in other words, the proportion of the
total holiday price that does not reach or remain in the destination. Some leakage happens internally, where
tourists spend money at the destination but this pays for imported goods and services. Other tourism
leakages are external payments that never make it to the destination country, such as travel agent commissions,
tour operator profits and foreign airlines (Eldis 2015).
Estimation of tourism leakage has also been reported by UNEP. In Thailand, tourism leakage was
estimated at about 70%. It means that much of the money spent by tourists ended up leaving Thailand via
foreign-owned tour operators, airlines, hotels, imported drinks and food, etc. Estimations for other third
world countries were found to range from 80% in the Caribbean to 40% in India. The average import-
related leakage for most developing countries was between 40% and 50% of gross tourism earnings for
small economies, and between 10% and 20% for most advanced and diversified economies (UNEP 2010).
As a result of the leakage effect, tourism industries in developed countries often are much more profitable
per dollar received than tourism in smaller countries. In countries such as Turkey and the United Kingdom,
the benefit to the economy from tourism is twice the dollar amount spent by tourists. In smaller places,
such as Micronesia and Polynesia, that benefit is half the dollar amount spent. Islands, in particular, suffer
from significant leakage. While some locations have managed to nullify the leakage effect almost entirely –
International Journal of Economic Research 4
Agung Suryawan Wiranatha, Made Antara and I Gusti Ayu Oka Suryawardani
New York City, for example, claims to generate seven dollars for the local economy per dollar spent by
tourists – it has been estimated that only 5% of money spent on tourism remains in a developing country’s
economy.
For many countries, some sources of leakage are unavoidable. Foreign-owned hotels and airlines are
necessary for all but the most established of tourism industries. However, encouragement of domestic
involvement in a country’s tourism industry may reduce leakage in the long run. Currently, the most popular
measure taken to reduce leakage is to set restrictions on spending. Countries may limit the use of foreign
currency within their borders, reducing the effect of transfer pricing. Many countries require visitors to
have a certain amount of money before entering.
Meanwhile, according to Lorton (2015) and Cohen (1989), when the local economic linkages are
weak, the revenue from tourism receipts in a local economic area tends to leak out. Engaging with local
suppliers, using local capital and resources and developing the skills necessary to deliver consistently at an
appropriate quality and at a competitive price can reduce such leakage. One of the best ways to enhance
economic benefits to the local community and to increase the contribution to poverty reduction is to
increase the extent of linkages between the formal tourism sector (hotels, lodges, restaurants, tour operators
and transport providers) and the local economy. Increased integration can develop strong linkages between
tourism and other economic sectors including agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing, construction and crafts
production. In addition, the creation of local linkages needs to be part of the overall tourism development
strategy in the planning, construction and operational phase. Three key sets of factors are important in
enhancing the extent of local linkages, i.e.:
1) The creation of employment at all skills levels and particularly where there is existing capacity
2) New attractions created through anti-poverty tourism development strategies need to be integrated
into the tour programmes of the ground handlers and inbound operators. Creating mutually
beneficial linkages between the formal and informal sectors is critical. Local government needs
to ensure that micro-enterprises and emerging entrepreneurs are promoted in local tourism
marketing initiatives where they are often neglected.
3) The requirements of new micro-enterprises for credit, marketing skills and a thorough
understanding of tourist expectations need to be met. Micro enterprises may have particular
difficulties in meeting health and safety, licensing and other regulatory requirements. Such
regulations themselves need to be crafted to encourage inclusion through assisted education and
training to ensure engagement by the poor in the industry.
Economic linkages can minimize leakages. Buying supplies from people in the host country allows
the benefits to remain. Many developing countries now encourage local farmers to supply fresh fruit and
vegetables to hotels. Labor is often the most important linkage between a hotel and the local economy,
through the payment of salaries and wages. Even a foreign owner will recruit locally to minimize costs.
Hotels enhance economic linkages by working with informal tourism businesses (such as a local taxi
company). Governments and tourism companies in destination countries can support initiatives to reduce
leakages by:
using locally-owned accommodation (this can be up to half of the total holiday cost)
5International Journal of Economic Research
Impact of Tourism Leakage on the Growth of Economic Sectors, Employment and Income Distribution in Bali, Indonesia
endorsing destinations that integrate tourists into the local economy, where they can purchase
local products
promoting resorts that employ local staff and pay reasonable salaries
Using airlines from the host country, for long-haul destinations this may constitute one-third of
the total package cost (Eldis 2015)
Lacher and Sanjay (2010) say that tourism in the rural areas of developing countries is expanding at a
rapid pace and is often a primary means of income in these areas. However, high levels of leakage dramatically
reduce the economic impact of such tourism. While the problem of economic leakage in rural peripheries
is well documented, there is a paucity of research on strategies to reduce leakage. Strategies that can be
employed at the village level may be especially useful as they do not require the co-operation of outside
stakeholders who may profit from the leakage out of the village. Lacher et al. (2010) found three strategies
employed in rural villages in northern Thailand and uses the case-study method to evaluate their effectiveness.
It concludes with a discussion of the applicability of these strategies to other locations.
Zheng (2000) states that for countries in Indo-China embarking on tourism for economic growth,
their success hinges on minimizing three types of tourism leakages, namely financial, structural, and
operational leakages. He suggests that Indo-Chinese developing countries should target fairly-developed
countries in Asia as their main capital markets and tourist feeders at the early stage of tourism development.
In later phases of tourism growth and expansion, they may seek tourism capital and tourists from both
fairly-developed and well-developed countries. The recent Asian financial crisis has presented new challenges
to Asia Pacific tourism. It may, however, create opportunities for developing countries in Indo-China to
attract more regional tourists and investors and reduce tourism leakages.
Social Accounting Matrix
A Social Accounting Matrix (SAM), also called the National Social Accounting Matrix by Bali Statistical
Office (2000), is an economic account of a traditional double-entry shaped partition matrix that records all
economic transactions between actors in an economy, especially between sectors in the production block,
sectors within the institution block (including households), and sectors within a production factors block
(Pyatt and Round 1985a, 1985b). Thorbecke (1985) developed the accounts in the SAM into six types,
namely: (1) the balance of the production activity, (2) the balance of commodities, (3) the balance of
production factors, (4) the balance of the institutions, (5) capital account (capital ), and (6) the balance
sheet Rest of the World.
Thorbecke (1985) breaks the institutions account down into three accounts, namely: (1) households,
(2) company, and (3) government. Household account rows include income on labor compensation, return
on capital, transfers between households, acceptance of transfers from companies (such as insurance),
government transfers, and transfers from abroad. Meanwhile, the household accounts columns include
consumption expenditures, transfers between households, transfers to companies, the payment of direct
taxes, and savings on capital account. Furthermore, the company accounts row (revenue of company)
includes retained earnings, transfers from households, and government transfers.
Table 1 shows the SAM can describe the linkages between sectors, the income distribution (factorial
distribution and income distribution), and the effect of consumption, investment, and export-import on

regional income and employment. From the SAM structure in Table 1, the following matrix equation for
the income and expenses of endogenous accounts aggregately can be formulated as follows:
XTY

The income distribution of endogenous and exogenous accounts can be formulated as follows:
14131 XTY (2)
2422212 XTTY
(3)
3433323 XTTY (4)
444342414 XXXXY (5)
Equation (2) shows the factorial income distribution, equation (3) the distribution of institutional
income, equation (4) the total output according to factors of production, and equation (5) the other total
income (exogenous).
The expenses distribution of endogenous and exogenous accounts can be formulated as follows:

4232222
'XTTY (7)

'XTTTY (8)

'XXXXY (9)
According to Thorbecke (1988), Cohen (1989), Round (1989) and Polenske (1989), the analysis of
multipliers in the SAM model is similar to the multiplier analysis of the inverse matrix of the Leontief
Input-Output Model. This means that analysis of the inverse matrix of the Leontief multiplier can be used
in this study to assess the impact of changes in several sectors in the economy.
In the SAM matrix it is assumed that the average expenditure Aij is a comparison between the
expenditure of sector j to sector i with total expenditure j (Yj); thus:

RESEARCH METHODS
The location for this research was in the province of Bali, which was chosen because this island is one of
the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and because tourism is the leading sector in Bali’s
economy, with tourist revenue being depleted by leakage through the import of goods and services by the
accommodation sector.
Bali’s economy is driven by the tourism sector. A snapshot of this is provided by using the Social
Accounting Matrix (SAM) model (109x109). The design of the SAM of Bali in 2012 used quantitative data
derived from primary and secondary sources, including: Bali input-output table, the national socio-economic
survey, the national labor force survey, Indonesian economic indicators, consumption surveys, and a special
survey of household, savings and investments.
The data collection methods used in this research were by interview and documentation. Face-to-face
interviews were conducted with the respondent households. Documentation involved the collection of
relevant data and information recorded in various documents from the regional Bali office of BPS Statistics
Indonesia as well as from other related agencies.

Impact of Tourism Leakage on the Growth of Economic Sectors, Employment and Income Distribution in Bali, Indonesia
Data analysis methods comprised a descriptive analysis and simulation analysis. The simulation
proceeded by manipulating the table in the SAM of Bali 2012 (109x109 matrix), but with the accounts
trade margins removed from the table (because these are already included in every type of account); so the
SAM of Bali table became a 108x108 matrix. Manipulation of this SAM table finally achieved the matrix
equation, Y = MA.X, where MA is the multiplier matrix (108x108), X is an exogenous variable, in this case
mainly the leakage from tourism (1x108), and Y is an endogenous variable, i.e. the output sectors of the
economy, jobs and the income distribution among groups of people in Bali (1x108). The simulations
applied eight scenarios, four of which involved an increase in tourism leakage and four a decrease, each
with a maximum interval of 10% to 40%. The aim was to see what impact each of these would have on
output growth, the growth of economic sectors, employment and income distribution.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Impact of Tourism Leakage on the Growth of Economic Sectors
The simulation results presented in Table 3 indicate that a 10% rise in leakage, mainly from the tourism
accommodation sector, (scenario 1) would impact negatively by decreasing the growth of Bali’s economy
by an average amount of -0.44%. The largest decrease (-0.75%) would occur in the sector of services and
the smallest (-0.10%) in the sector of electricity, gas and water. With a 40% increase in tourism leakage
(scenario 4), the negative impact would be much greater, reducing Bali’s economic growth by -1.44%. The
largest decrease (-1.90%) would occur in the mining and quarrying sector, and the smallest (-0.32%) in
transport and communications.
However, if tourism leakage is reduced, the opposite occurs. Table 4 shows that a drop of 10% in
tourism leakage (scenario-5) would have a positive impact, increasing the demand for output from all the
economic sectors and improving economic growth by an average of 0.15%. A 40% reduction in tourism
leakage (scenario-8) would increase average economic growth by 1.02%. In both scenarios, the greatest
increase would occur in the services sector (0.25% for scenario-5 and 1.75% for scenario-8) and the smallest
in the mining and quarrying sector (0.03% for scenario-5 and 0.23% for scenario-8). The service sector
shows the largest growth compared to other economic sectors, which indicates that this sector can
compensate most for the decline of foreign demand for the service sector.
Impact of Tourism Leakage on Employment
The production factor account (labor and non-labor/capital) is one of the primary accounts in the Bali
SAM model 2012, in addition to the institutional, production sector and external accounts. The Bali SAM
model 2012 includes the labor production factors or labor utilization per sector or subsector, so simulations
can be made of how increased/decreased tourism leakage from the accommodation sector would affect
the absorption of labor by the economic sectors or subsectors in Bali.
Based on the simulation results presented in Table 5, an increase of 10% in tourism leakage, mainly
from the accommodation sector through foreign transactions, (scenario-1) would have a negative impact
by decreasing the employment in Bali’s economy by 4,013 people, from 2,272,235 to 2,268,222. A 40%
increase in tourism leakage (scenario 4) would have an even greater negative impact on the economy,
shrinking employment in Bali by 12,045 people, from 2,272,235 to 2,260,190. The impact on economic
International Journal of Economic Research 10

sectors in scenario-4 is similar to that in scenario-1, with agriculture, livestock, forestry and fisheries losing
the most jobs (4,372) and the electricity, gas and water sector losing the fewest (just 1 job loss).
However, if tourism leakage is reduced, the trend is reversed. The simulation results presented in
Table 6 indicate that a 10% decline in tourism leakage (scenario-5) would expand employment in Bali’s
economy by 1,338 people from 2,272,235 to 2,273,573, while a 40% reduction in leakage (scenario-8)
would expand employment by as many as 9,368 people from 2,272,235 to 2,281,603. Looking at the positive
impacts per sector, the greatest increase in jobs would occur in the agriculture, livestock, forestry and
fisheries sector, by 486 in scenario-5 and 3,400 in scenario-8. The smallest impact would occur in the
electricity, gas and water sector, with zero job increase in scenario-5 and just 1 extra person employed in
scenario-8. So the reduction of tourism leakage in the accommodation sector, through a reduction in
imports of various products and services from abroad, would increase the demand for local products and
services in Bali or from other parts of Indonesia. Then, if local producers of these goods and services
respond positively by increasing their production, this will increase employment in Bali’s economic sectors.
Impact of Tourism Leakage on Income Distribution
The simulation results regarding the impact of tourism leakage on income distribution are presented in
Tables 7 and 8. Table 7 shows that under existing conditions according to the Bali SAM 2012, i.e. before
simulation, the Gini coefficient (Gini Ratio, GR) was 0.43. When tourism leakage is increased by 10%
(scenario-1) the GR remains fixed at 0.43. However, when tourism leakage is increased by 40%, the GR
increases to 0.46, an increase in inequality of 0.3, which is still within the range of income distribution
inequality. This result suggests that increased tourism leakage causes the income distribution among social
groups to become increasingly unequal, as indicated by greater GR.
The opposite appears to happen when tourism leakage is reduced, as indicated by the results presented
in Table 8. A decrease in tourism leakage of 10% (scenario-5) to 40% (scenario-8) has a positive impact on
income distribution among social groups, leading to growing equality, which is shown by the GR getting
smaller. Under pre-simulation conditions the GR was 0.43. This GR then decreases to 4.1 when tourism
leakage is decreased by 10% (scenario-5) and to 0.38 when tourism leakage is reduced by 40% (scenario-8).
These results support the hypothesis that a reduction in tourism leakage will lead to a more equitable
distribution of income.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Conclusion
The simulation indicated that tourism leakage would impact on the growth of economic sectors, employment
and income distribution. Impacts include the following:
a) Increasing the level of leakage from tourism in Bali would reduce growth in the economic
sectors. On the contrary, reducing leakage by reducing imports of various products and services
from abroad for the accommodation sector would have a positive impact by increasing growth
in the economic sectors.
b) Increasing the level of leakage from tourism in Bali would also reduce employment in the economic
sectors of production. In contrast, reducing leakage by reducing imports from abroad for the

Impact of Tourism Leakage on the Growth of Economic Sectors, Employment and Income Distribution in Bali, Indonesia
accommodation sector would have a positive impact by expanding employment in the economic
sectors of production.
c) Increasing the level of leakage from tourism in Bali would lead to increasing inequality in income
distribution among social groups. However, reducing leakage by reducing imports from abroad
for the accommodation sector would have a positive impact by leading to greater equality in the
income distribution among these groups.
Recommendation
Attempts to reduce leakage from tourism in Bali, especially in the accommodation sector, need to be
undertaken by the relevant stakeholders, both in the tourism industry itself and in government, so that less
of the revenue generated by tourism in Bali is transferred abroad, and more of it circulates in the Balinese
economy. This will eventually enhance the growth of the economic sectors, expand employment, and lead
to more equitable distribution of income among the social groups in Bali.

... Economic, environmental, and socio-cultural factors all play a role in sustainable tourism development. Economic sustainability is the most impacted by economic leakage, which is critical for national and local economies, particularly in developing countries (Lejárraga & Walkenhorst, 2010;Wiranatha et al., 2017). Economic leakage contributes significantly to the worsening of the trade deficit. ...
... They specifically stated that it results in a loss of tourism revenues and a reluctance to invest in the sector. Leakage reduced tourism revenues that could have been reinvested in the sector (Chirenje et al., 2013;Lacher & Nepal, 2010;Rigós-Simón et al., 2015;Wiranatha et al., 2017). As a result, Jordan's tourism industry will suffer a significant downturn, negatively impacting employment in the T&H sector. ...
... Based on the foregoing discussion, it is clear that outbound tourism leakage reduces the country's gross national income, causing a downturn in all economic sectors. Outbound tourists and/or imported goods are sources of economic leakage because they contribute to the transfer of a country's generated earnings to another, resulting in an outflow from the local area (Chirenje et al., 2013;Supradist, 2004;Wiranatha et al., 2017). Creating an appealing investment environment; improving tourism products and services; supporting local investment; taxation reduction; cost reduction; adoption of new marketing tools; and competitiveness enhancement are some of the solutions proposed by tourism stakeholders to reduce economic leakage and mitigate its impacts. ...

This paper aims to understand and analyse the concept, impacts and factors causing outbound tourism leakage, as well as to guide decision-makers and tourism entrepreneurs on how to reduce outbound tourism leakage and mitigate its impacts. This study used stakeholder theory as a theoretical base for analysing the perspectives of the stakeholders of the tourism and hospitality (T&H) sector. Qualitative research method was used in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. Thematic analysis was used. Interview quotes were categorized into themes. The findings revealed that outbound tourism leakage resulted in lost tourism revenues, investor reluctance, a balance-of-payments deficit, a reduction in the economic multiplier effect, and inflationary pressures on the economy. The main causes of outbound tourism leakage were the high prices, high constructional and operational costs, lower quality of infrastructure and superstructure services, limited marketing, and lack of participation and collaboration. There is a lack of conceptual and qualitative research that analysed the phenomenon of outbound tourism leakage. Therefore, this study was developed to fill a knowledge gap and qualitatively analyse the concept, impacts and factors causing outbound tourism leakage.

Small, micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) in the tourism sector have the potential to contribute to poverty alleviation through the development of new ventures. This enables opportunities such as job creation, income generation and poverty alleviation for local communities. Investment in the tourism sector is limited to government investment or incentive programmes. Access to these funds is limited and often unavailable at the local government level, especially to the rural communities such as the case of Limpopo province, South Africa. Entrepreneurs are required to source funding or financial support through creative and innovative ways when developing new ventures. Stokvels are thus proposed as a self-help business initiative for tourism owners in local communities, as a social investment tool that can generate social capital for the establishment and sustainable management of the tourism business. The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual tourism investment framework, as an African solution that can contribute to the transformation of the business tourism sector. Results from the semi-systematic literature review support the identified constructs and dimensions for the development of a tourism investment theoretical framework. Through this framework tourism initiatives can be supported, local communities can be empowered to create sustainable jobs, income can be generated, and poverty can be alleviated, especially in the Limpopo province.

The aim of this paper is to explore the development a sustainable events risk management framework for the South African (SA) events industry. This conceptual paper has its foundation in current applicable secondary data sources, identified through a systematic review of academic literature. The systematic literature review investigates event risk management and related themes. The documentation of core events literature by custodian events scholars are used to benchmark identified themes emanating from the systematic literature review to inform the development of a sustainable events risk management framework (SERMF). Results highlighted the insufficient integration of sustainable development in the reviewed literature. By applying the principles of sustainable development in an events risk framework, events managers and organisers are capacitated to comply with the South African events law requirements and ensure that risks are mitigated in a manner that can be practically applied. The development of a SERMF may be significant by adding value to the private, governmental and academic sectors in terms of practical application and theoretical contribution.

This paper aims at providing information and understanding about the impacts of tourism on the economic sector, sociocultural living, and environmental. Globally, tourism is considered as one of the leading sectors contributing huge numbers in the global GDP. Now wander many countries rely on the tourism sector as the source of income and many countries do their best to develop the tourism potency had. The rapid dan massive development of tourism in the world brings both negative and positive aspect to those three sectors; economic, socio-cultural, and environmental. The negative impacts of tourism should be anticipated and managed well by the government, stakeholder, and community. One thing that can be done is by implementing visitor management that is an administrative action to maintain the environment, socio-cultural living, and economic sector without neglecting the satisfaction of tourists. Visitor management is implemented by balancing the tourist’ needs, local community’s needs, stakeholders’ needs, and the current situation and potency of the destination. The implementation visitor management leads to the sustainable tourism.

Several studies have highlighted that despite significant potential to contribute to economic development, revenue leakages in the tourism sector have remained a key challenge (Mellor, 2003;Simata, 2019;€ Unlü € onen et al., 2011;Wiranatha et al., 2017). Tourism has typically been critiqued by social scientists for its exclusive nature; benefitting the privileged and marginalising the poor (Gillovic and McIntosh, 2020). ...

Agritourism has gained traction with a variety of stakeholders within the Pacific to supplement farm revenue, create linkages to tourism and ultimately contribute to sustainable economic development. This paper, with a focus on smallholders, examines the key constraints of agriculture, current agritourism products, policy development initiatives, and proposes an open framework for agritourism in Fiji. Among the key considerations are a careful examination of tourist preferences, the promotion of agritourism on working farms without displacing the key activity of food production, and redefining agritourism as a value for money experience rather than a niche market in the Pacific region.

em>Bali Province has different quantity and quality of natural resources in each area. These differences lead to inequality or disparity between its districts and city. The purpose of this study is determine the economic inequality according to the region and business sectors in the Province of Bali. The data in this study use the secondary data of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) on Constant Prices from 2015 to 2019 taken from Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) every area in the Province of Bali. This research was determined by the Klassen typology analysis method and the determination of regional disparities using the Williamson Index. The results of this study indicate that the Province of Bali has an inequality value of the Williamson Index of 0.26 in 2019 which shows a pretty good value with a decrease in the level of economic inequality compared to research in the previous year. Equitable development must still be considered by focusing on regions and sectors that are still lagging behind or underdeveloped, so that the development process can occur in all region of Bali Province .</em
... According to (Suryawardani & Wiranatha, 2016), this tourism-driven economy growth in Bali has its weakness since this means that majority of Bali's GRDP is sourced from tourism flowing outside Bali to import various needs of tourism products and equipment. Furthermore, according to (Wiranatha, Antara, & Suryawardani, 2017), this affects the growth of economic sectors, employment, and income distribution in Bali, Indonesia. ...

Ecotourism is the fastest growing sector in global tourism industry and provides for environmental conservation, socio-economic development, cultural preservation, employment and empowerment of indigenous people of ecotourism destinations. This study seeks to find the Socio-Economic and Environmental Sustainability of Ecotourism in Ubud Monkey Forest-Bali, Indonesia under the three dimensions of sustainable development; economic progress, environmental protection and conservation and socio-cultural preservation. Both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies are used with the following conducted: (1) Questionnaire administration, (2) Interviews, and (3) Observations. Content Analysis and Multidimensional scaling (MDS) was implored to analyse the date. The Kite Diagram of Sustainability Analysis presents that the sustainability status of all the used dimension is classified as sustain. The overall sustainability status of ecotourism is sustainable with the index as many as 76.49. The most sustainable dimension is education and recreation, while the least is participation dimension. The results of this study confirmed that within the parameters of the study, the forest maintained an ecological balance, socio-economic advancement and cultural preservation. Ecotourism has high attraction potential for both tourist and local businesses while impacting less on the culture, environment and traditional practices of the Balinese people. Notwithstanding, there are a general land use changes and waste management problems in Bali

This contribution suggests that community-based tourism (CBT) can create commercial and social value to destinations, local businesses as well as to residents. At the same time, it clarifies that CBT offers rich, immersive cultural experiences that can enhance the tourists’ experiences when visiting different communities. It posits that sustainable CBT approaches can improve the local economic development (LED) of communities by reducing economic leakages from the tourism industry. It explains that there is scope for destination managers and tourism businesses to engage in sustainable tourism practices and to utilize local resources, in a strategic manner, in order to maximize linkages in their economy. In conclusion, this paper puts forward a theoretical model that clearly illustrates the business case to implement sustainable CBT strategies. It also implies that these strategies can ultimately result in opportunities for economic growth of tourism businesses and may increase the competitiveness of destinations, whilst safeguarding the environment and addressing their carrying capacities.

Tourism has been a driving force of economic development and has become the leading economic sector in Bali Province. However, the economic impacts of tourism development have not been fully beneficial for the Balinese community. Tourists' expenditure has not been totally remaining in Bali's economy. Some of the expenditures by tourists leak out of the destination, called tourism leakage, in the form of payments for imported products and services, payment of wages for foreign employees, and profits transferred to foreign owners. So far, the amount of tourism leakage in Bali has not been calculated. Therefore, there is a need to ascertain the current amount of leakage in Bali tourism. This paper estimates the amount of tourism leakage from the accommodation sector in Bali through a micro analysis at the industrial level. There were 79 hotels selected as a sample based upon a purposive probability to size sampling method in four main tourist destinations in Bali, namely Kuta, Nusa Dua, Sanur and Ubud. Four types of accommodation were considered in estimating tourism leakage. The results showed that the highest percentage of leakage was in the 4 & 5 Star-rated chain hotels, i.e. 51.0 % of total revenue. It was followed by the 4 & 5 Star-rated non-chain hotels (22.7 %), and 1, 2 & 3 Star-rated hotels (12.0 %). Meanwhile, the lowest leakage was on the Non star-rated hotels (8.8 %). Overall, the average tourism leakage on accommodation sector in Bali was 18.8 %. These results indicate that (i) the higher the level of hotel classifications, the more leakage will be; and (ii) accommodation which was owned by a foreigner and/or managed by an international chain had more leakage than other types of accommodation. The more leakage, therefore the less revenue from tourism will be directly received by hotel and undirectly by the local community as tourism is the main source of economic development of Bali Province.

The aim of this study was to calculate the amount of tourism leakage in Bali based on the macro analysis. Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) approach was undertaken based on the Social Accounting Matrix of Bali Province 2010. Sample was designed based on the Probability Proportional to Size methods with the number of sample was 79 accommodations which consist of Non-star rated hotels; 1, 2 and 3 Star-rated hotels; 4 and 5 Star-rated nonchain hotels; and 4 and 5 Star-rated chain hotels. The results showed that the highest percentage of tourism leakage was found on 4 and 5 Star-rated chain hotels (55.31%), followed by 1, 2 and 3 Star-rated hotels (15.66%), and 4 and 5 Star non-chain hotels (7.14%). The lowest leakage was found on Non-star rated hotels (2.0%). Causes of leakage were payments for capital ownership and payment for labour which were transferred to overseas. Reducing import components used in the accommodation sectors is crucial as long as local products are available to substitute the imported products.

Tourism in the rural areas of developing countries is expanding at a rapid pace and is often a primary means of income in these areas. However, high levels of leakage dramatically reduce the economic impact of such tourism. While the problem of economic leakage in rural peripheries is well documented, there is a paucity of research on strategies to reduce leakage. Strategies that can be employed at the village level may be especially useful as they do not require the co-operation of outside stakeholders who may profit from the leakage out of the village. This study identifies three such strategies employed in rural villages in northern Thailand and uses the case-study method to evaluate their effectiveness. It concludes with a discussion of the applicability of these strategies to other locations.
Thesis
Tourism has become the leading economic sector in Bali Province of Indonesia. However, the economic impacts of tourism have not been convinced to be full y beneficial for Balinese community. One of the reasons is tourism leakage that occurs when the industry imports both products and services to support tourism industry in Bali. So far, the amount of tourism leakage in Bali has not been calculated yet. Therefore, there is a need to ascertain the current amount of leakage in Bali tourism. The objectives of the study are: (i) to calculate the amount of tourism leakage from accommodation sector in Bali at micro (industrial) level; (ii) to calculate the amount of tourism leakage from accommodation sector in Bali at macro (regional) level; (iii) to evaluate the impacts of government subsidies and import reduction by accommodation sector on tourism leakage, job opportunity and income distribution; (iv) to evaluate the perception and preference of foreign tourists on imported and local products as well as the willingness of foreign tourists to spend their money to benefit of Balinese people; (v) to evaluate the points of view of hotel managers related to imported and local products as well as their willingness in reducing the use of imported product and (vi) to develop strategies in minimizing tourism leakage in accommodation in Bali. Research was designed through quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data was collected by using survey method at four main tourist destinations in Bali, namely: Kuta, Nusa Dua, Sanur and Ubud. There were 79 hotels selected based upon probability proportional to size sampling method which consists of three clusters namely 1,2,3 Star-rated, 4&5 Star-rated either chain and non-chain and Non Star-rated hotels. The number of respondents was 600 foreign tourists were selected as respondents. Calculation of tourism leakage on micro analysis was undertaken by using a method developed by Unluonen, et. al. (2011), meanwhile, on macro analysis was carried out by using a method proposed by Thorbecke ( 1988) which was based on the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) of Bali 2010. Perception and preference of foreign tourists on imported and local products were analyzed by using JMP program, meanwhile, Interpretative Structural Modelling (ISM) was undertaken to develop strategies. The results show that based on the micro analysis, the highest tourism leakage of accommodation sector in Bali is at 4&5 Star-rated chain hotels (51.0 %), followed by 4&5 Star-rated non-chain hotels (22.7 %), 1,2&3 Star-rated hotels (12.0 %), Non-star rated hotels (8.8 %), and with the average leakage of 18.8 %. Based on macro analysis, tourism leakage of accommodation sector in Bali are as follow: (i) Leakage of Non Star-rated hotels is 2.0 %; (ii) Leakage of 1,2&3 Star-rated hotels is 15.7 %; (iii) Leakage of 4&5 Star-rated non-chain hotels is 7.1 %, (iv) Leakage of 4&5 Star-rated chain hotels is 55.3%; and (v) Average leakage of all types of accommodation is 19.5%. Foreign tourists significantly look for local products and are willing to spend their money for Balinese people. Hotel managers are willing to use local product as long as local products are available to substitute the imported products. Strategies for minimization tourism leakage are optimizing the potential of local products, develop agriculture and livestock; reduce the use of imported products for tourists, improve quality of local products and human resources, empower community, urge government to develop and implement supporting policies in minimizing tourism leakage, establish policy on restriction of foreign investment on accommodation in Bali, improve the role of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Trade and Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. 7 Ps of marketing mix on service: product, price, place, promotion, people, process and physical evidence need to be implemented in order to support sustainable tourism in Bali

For developing countries in Indo‐China embarking on tourism for economic growth, their success hinges on minimizing three types of tourism leakages, namely financial, structural, and operational leakages. This paper proposes financing and market strategies for those countries to reduce tourism leakages. The strategies suggest that Indo‐Chinese developing countries should target fairly‐developed countries in Asia as their main capital markets and tourist feeders at the early stage of tourism development. In later phases of tourism growth and expansion, they may seek tourism capital and tourists from both fairly‐developed and well‐developed countries. The recent Asian financial crisis has presented new challenges to Asia Pacific tourism. It may, however, create opportunities for developing countries in Indo‐China to attract more regional tourists and investors and reduce tourism leakages.

Savings, taxes and imports, known as leakages, decrease the stimulus effect of new dollars in an economy. This study presents an applicable framework for calculating the net international tourism receipts of Turkey by eliminating leakages through an application of the satellite accounts approach, based on input-output tables. According to the results, the proportion of tourism income leakage for Turkey is estimated at 38.5%. Although this proportion is within the limits proposed by the World Tourism Organization, the leakages can be decreased through the adoption of various measures: in most cases, however, while these measures will serve to decrease the leakages, they will also cause a decrease in total tourism income.
