ABSTRACT

This paper estimates the World Cup tourists and their per capita expenditures, while examining economic impacts of the expenditures using an input-output model. For this end, on-site survey was conducted for the World Cup foreign tourists during the in-coming World Cup visitors at the major international airports. The study revealed that foreign tourists for the 2002 World Cup consisted of 57.7% of the total inward tourists and per capita expenditure was estimated to be 1,610 U.S dollars. The input-out analysis indicates that total foreign receipts earned by the World Cup generated about 973 million U.S dollars of output impact, 223 million dollars of income impact, 513 million dollars of value-added impact, 54 million dollars of tax impact, 26,807 equivalent full time jobs, and 85 million dollars of import impact, respectively.
