Based on the quantitative assessment methodology, the study examined the socio-economic impact of tourism in the region. The study proposed and tested on the example of the Issyk-Kul region, as it is the most visited region of Kyrgyzstan. Accordingly, economic and social efficiency was estimated by the integral indicators formed at the use of the weight coefficients calculated on the statistical data, and the forecast for tourism development in the region. The study showed that the impact of tourism on economic and social growth in the Issyk-Kul region is positive. Tourism in the region as a whole supports the growth of the economy, and the economic sphere of tourism has a strong impact on the social. According to forecasts, tourism will have a stable growth trend. Unlike previous studies, this study promotes a new understanding of the socio-economic impacts of tourism in the region.

“…Input–output analysis is well established in the scientific literature and is often applied (for example, in tourism studies, Çela et al ; Kashian and Pfeifer‐Luckett ; Hanly ). In Malaysia, I–O analysis has been applied to calculate impacts of ‘conventional’ tourism (United Nations 1991; Rashid et al ; Mazumder et al 2011; Hassan and Jenggie ) Despite its widespread use, debate on the appropriateness of I–O models is on‐going.…”

In Malaysia, a country that ranks among the world's most recognised medical tourism destinations, medical tourism is identified as a potential economic growth engine for both medical and non-medical sectors. A state-level analysis of economic impacts is important, given differences between states in economic profiles and numbers, origins, and expenditure of medical tourists. We applied input-output (I-O) analysis, based on state-specific I-O data and disaggregated foreign patient data. The analysis includes nine of Malaysia's states. In 2007, these states were visited by 341,288 foreign patients, who generated MYR1,313.4 m ($372.3 m) output, MYR468.6 m ($132.8 m) in value added, and over 19,000 jobs. Impacts related to non-medical expenditure are more substantial than impacts related to medical expenditure, and indirect impacts are a substantial part of total impacts. We discuss management and policy responses and formulate recommendations for data collection.

“…Some delegate spending therefore is apportioned to imported goods and this diminishes the economic generating potential of convention activity. The level of leakage due to imports has been reported elsewhere (Hanly, 2012). There may also be inter-regional leakages and injections due to the distribution of conventions across the country; however because of a lack of regional I-O models in Ireland, this was not examined.…”

The potential of the convention market to generate economic activity is dependent on the strength of its interindustry linkages with the rest of the economy. These economic linkages vary between countries. Using input-output analysis, this study examines the linkages of the Irish international association convention market with the rest of the economy, and assesses its employment and output generating capacity. Findings show that over two-thirds of convention expenditure is spent in sectors with above average backward linkages. Convention expenditure also has considerable employment creating potential and was estimated to generate 15 full-time equivalent jobs per €1 million of spending.
