PMO MOC representatives from the Port Services Division (PSD), together with other representatives from other agencies participated in the Regional Statistics Committee X (RSC-X) Technical Working Group (TWG) for Regional Tourism Satellite Accounts Meeting on March 14, 2025 at the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Regional Office X to primarily discuss a developed and institutionalized standardized system for measuring tourism’s economic impact at the regional level.

The RSC-X has recently approved the creation of a TWG for the development of Regional Tourism Satellite Accounts (RTSA). This initiative aims to enhance tourism data collection and analysis, providing a more accurate measure of tourism’s economic contribution at the regional level.

The TWG will be responsible for developing a standardized RTSA framework, improving regional tourism statistics, and supporting evidence-based policymaking. It will collaborate with key stakeholders, including government agencies, local tourism offices, and private sector representatives, to ensure the sustainability and institutionalization of the RTSA.

This approval marks a significant step toward strengthening tourism data systems, enabling better planning, investment, and development strategies for the tourism sector in Region X.

The PMO MOC is committed to supporting the TWG for RTSA by providing key data on port passenger traffic, cargo movement, and maritime tourism activities. It will collaborate with stakeholders to improve data collection, contribute to policy discussions, and help develop strategies for port-related tourism. By aligning port operations with regional tourism goals, the agency ensures that the economic impact of port-related tourism is accurately measured and used for better planning and decision-making.
