In a survey conducted in the Philippines in February 2020, about 65 percent of respondents expected the national economy to be significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nationwide lockdowns imposed by the government have adversely impacted people’s livelihood.

COVID-19 pandemic aftermath in the Philippines

Between March and April 2020, the country’s Luzon Island went into a complete lockdown that restricted population movement with only a few exceptions. This resulted in a drastic decline in employment levels, with projections suggesting a maximum of one million people losing their jobs due to the lockdown. In addition, the imposed community quarantine would, at the very least, cause cumulative losses in gross value added of three billion Philippine pesos in every select key sector in the country.

Major economic sectors facing setbacks

With travel being a major contributing factor to the spread of the virus, the tourism industry worldwide has been brought to a grinding halt. The Philippines relies on tourism to a large extent for revenue generation and calculated a loss of GDP share  from tourism of about 0.68 percent in the worst case. Another sector to be severely hit was international trade, causing a spillover effect from Chinese supply disruptions to the Philippines. Hence, it was estimated that the communication equipment industry would lose 115 million U.S. dollars due to supply disruption.

Abstract

Considering tourism as driver and contributor to the economic growth of the country, a national policy on tourism was passed - the Republic Act Numbered 9593 otherwise known as Tourism Act of 2009.With this Act, the State declares tourism “as an indispensable element of the national economy and an industry of national interest and importance, which must be harnessed as an engine of socio-economic growth and cultural affirmation to generate investment, foreign exchange and sense of national pride for all Filipinos”. Moreover, the Philippine Statistical Development Plan provides the blueprint of development of the tourism industry. This is in recognition of the importance, role and impact of tourism on the social and economic development and environment and cultural landscape in the country. Therefore, there is a need to measure the economic contribution of tourism as an input to effective and efficient policy research, monitoring, analysis and development of the tourism industry.

The Philippine Tourism Satellite Account (PTSA) provides the framework by which the economic contribution of tourism is measured. Using this account, it is possible to quantify the contribution of tourism industry in the economy within the context of the Philippine Systems of National Accounts (PSNA).

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) conducted the 2014 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Philippines (STEP) second round. The 2014 STEP was a nationwide survey of establishments in the formal sector engaged in tourism characteristic industries. This survey collected information on the available supply of tourism goods, products and services, which are valuable inputs in the compilation of the PTSA.

The general objective of the 2014 STEP is to provide data on tourism characteristic establishments in the country.

Specifically, the 2014 STEP aims to: - provide data on the supply and capacity in terms of facilities and services - gather data on employment by sex and nationality - gather data on revenue generated from tourist - provide information on indicators for future expansion and/or renovation plans

Analysis unit

Establishment - defined as an economic unit, which engages, under a single ownership or control, i.e. under a single legal entity, in one or predominantly one kind of economic activity at a single fixed physical location. Thus, stores, shops, transport companies, hotels, restaurants, banks, insurance companies, real estate development companies and the like are considered establishments.

Universe

All tourism characteristic establishments operating in 2014.

Tourism characteristic industries as defined in the IRTS 2008 (International Recommendation of Tourism Statistics) with grouping according to industry sub-class (5-digit) of the 2009 PSIC.

It covered the following tourism characteristic industries: - Accommodation (I55 except I55901- Dormitories/boarding houses); - Chartered buses and cars operation (e.g. tourist buses, rent-a-car) (H49204 and H49324).

The other tourism characteristic industries were taken on a sampling basis.

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

In general, the establishment with total employment (TE) 100 and over is a certainty stratum for industries covered in the 2014 STEP.

For the purposes of 2014 STEP, only the following tourism characteristic industries regardless of employment size were completely enumerated (100% coverage): - I55101 - Hotel and motels - I55102 - Resort Hotels - I55103 - Condotels - I55104 - Pension Houses - I55105 - Camping sites/facilities - I55109 - Other shorts term accommodation activities - I55909 - Other accommodation

The sample establishments in the sampling strata of TE of less than 20 were selected using systematic sampling by industry domain and employment stratum at the national level. For each industry domain and employment stratum, the establishments are sorted by region, province from largest actual employment to smallest actual employment, business name and ECN.

For each of the sampling strata of TE of 20 and over (i.e. TE 20-49 and TE 50-99) sample establishments were selected using systematic sampling within the region. For each region in the employment stratum and industry domain, the establishments are sorted by province from largest actual employment to smallest actual employment, business name and ECN.

Systematic sampling was chosen so that the sample employment values were spread out, resulting from having representative samples for each TE size in the employment stratum. Likewise, this mode of sampling provided implicit stratification of TE by employment size group, thus avoiding all sample establishments with low TE values or high TE values.
