This report discusses a study undertaken for Victoria University’s School for the Visitor Economy to develop
improved modelling tools for analysing the visitor economy. The study involved the incorporation into the
Centre of Policy Studies’ (CoPS) multiregional dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of an
explicit treatment of the visitor economy, coupled with an enhanced regional labour market forecasting
capacity. These developments allow for better analysis of the sector and for detailed assessments of future skill
requirements for the visitor economy.
