Member Activities David Airey David is in Australia for the first two months of 2012 where he is taking up a W James Whyte Visiting Research Fellowship at the School of Tourism, University Queensland. While he is there he will be working with Dr Lisa Ruhanen on a project to examine tourism policy making in Australia. This draws upon his recent work with Dr King Chong on policy-making in China which was published in book form “Tourism In China: policy and development since 1949”. The W James Whyte visiting fellowship has received significant support from Mr Whyte and is designed to establish research partnerships, to support UQ staff and to provide workshops. Since the first fellows arrived in UQ from the University of Oregon in 2010, scholars in tourism have spent time in Brisbane from UK and from other parts of Europe.

Douglas Frechtling Douglas prepared for the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), a policy paper entitled, “Exploring the Full Economic Impact of Tourism for Policy Making: Extending the Use of the Tourism Satellite Account through Macroeconomic Analysis Tools”. This was presented the T.20 Tourism Ministers’ Meeting in Paris in October, 2011. The paper explains how the results from a country’s Tourism Satellite Account can be extended to other impact measures through Input-output Models, Social Accounting Matrices and Computable General Equilibrium Models. He has also co-authored a distance-learning course for the UNWTO that explains the Tourism Satellite Account and how it can be used for economic impact analysis and other policy-making. This course should be available from the UNWTO in 2012. Finally, he was one of two keynote speakers at the Second International Conference on the Measurement and Economic Analysis of Regional Tourism in Bilbao, Spain, October 28-29., 2011. The Conference was sponsored by INRouTE, the international network on regional economics, mobility and tourism. He urged that this new organization focus on developing an agenda for research that will increase destination managers’ knowledge about the impacts of visitors and forecasting future demand.
