| Description |
ABSTRACTThe main objective of this research is to study the spending patterns of tourists from the Middle Eastern countries and to analyse their impact on Malaysia’s economy utilising the input-output method. The Malaysian Input Output Table 2000 is used to estimate the important indicators such as the output, the tax revenue, the import and the employment multipliers. Aside from the data and the information in the input-output table, this study also estimates the expenses of the Middle Eastern tourists using a survey. The input-output table is aggregated into 18 sectors, and 5 of the sectors are related to tourism. From the estimation, the values of the multipliers range from 1.109-2.17 for the output multiplier, 0.048-0.592 for the import multiplier, 0.001-0.194 for the employment multiplier and 0.002-0.053 for the tax revenuemultiplier. The differences in the multiplier values would provide a different degree of impact from tourist spending on the sectors in the economy. The sectors that provide more services to tourists would benefit from a greater impact than other sectors. The degree of impact experienced by the different sectors is determined by the pattern of tourist spending.Keywords: input-output; middle eastern tourist; multiplier; totaleconomic impact; tourist spendingABSTRAKTujuan utama kajian ini meneliti corak perbelanjaan pelancong dari Timur Tengah dan menganalisis kesannyakepada ekonomi Malaysia dengan menggunakan kaedah Input-Output. Jadual Input Output Malaysia 2000digunakan untuk menganggar indikator penting seperti nilai pengganda output, hasil cukai, import, dan gunatenaga. Disamping maklumat dalam Jadual Input Output, kajian ini juga menggunakan data/ maklumat perbelanjaanpelancong Asia Barat yang diperoleh daripada survei. Kajian ini mengagregatkan jadual input output kepada 18sektor dan 5 daripadanya adalah berkaitan dengan sektor pelancongan. Hasil kajian mendapati nilai penggandaoutput antara 1.109-2.17, nilai pengganda import antara 0.048-0.592, pengganda guna tenaga antara 0.001-0.194manakala pengganda cukai antara 0.002-0.053. Perbezaan dalam nilai pengganda memberikan impak yang berbeza dalam sektor ekonomi kesan daripada perbelanjaan pelancong di negara ini. Sektor yang banyak memberikan perkhidmatan kepada pelancong akan menerima impak yang lebih besar berbanding dengan sektor yang lain. Impak yang berbeza di setiap sektor ini bergantung kepada corak perbelanjaan pelancong.Kata kunci: input-output; pelancong timur tengah; nilai pengganda; impak ekonomi keseluruhan; perbelanjaanpelancong
