matkailutulojen

Matkailutulojen is the Finnish genitive form of matkailutulo, a term used to describe the revenues generated by tourism within an economy. In economic statistics and policy discussions, matkailutulojen refers to the income that arises from tourism activity, including private-sector earnings from visitor spending and public revenues from tourism-related taxes and fees.

The scope typically covers accommodation, food services, transportation, attractions, and travel services used by visitors, as well as government receipts such as value-added tax, excise duties, and destination charges linked to tourism.

Measurement is often carried out through the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) and national accounts, which separate tourism consumption, output, value added, and employment. Because tourists contribute to multiple sectors, matkailutulojen is an indicator of the economic footprint of tourism and is used to compare regions or countries and to assess policy impacts.

Policy and planning: Governments use matkailutulojen data to justify investments in infrastructure, marketing, and sustainability initiatives, as well as to design taxes and fees that balance revenue with visitor experience.
