NSCB, DOT and WTTC collaborated to come up with a simulated satellite
account on tourism for the Philippines, which showed that travel and
tourism accounted for 8.7 percent of the GDP in 1997. The estimation
procedure was developed by the Wharton Econometric Forecasting
Association (WEFA) under the direction of the WTTC.
