The final stage of the estimation process involves allocating the estimates of tourism spending by product to the appropriate culture and sport domains and sub-domains using allocators from the PTCI for each reference year. This is done by dividing the culture or sport output for a particular product within a culture or sport sub-domain and dividing it by the aggregate of all that product’s culture output in the PCTI. The tables below provides a fictitious example of how sub-domain allocators are calculated and applied to tourism spending.

Table 1
Calculating culture and sport sub-domain allocators
Table summary
This table demonstrates a fictive example of how culture and sport subdomain allocators are calculated. The table is sorted by the Supply and Use Product Classification on the right column, with the culture/sport domain in the column over. These are then followed by the culture/sport subdomain column and the output column after. Finally the subdomain allocator total is the last column displayed.
Supply and Use Product Code (SUPC) Domain Sub-domain Product Output Sub-domain allocator
MPG5111A3 Sport Governance, funding and professional support, sport 200 200/2000 = 0.1
Written and published works Books 1,000 1000/2000 = 0.5
Written and published works Periodicals 800 800/2000 = 0.4
Total Total 2000 N/A

In order to associate tourism spending on a specific product to the CSA sub-domains, the sub-domain allocator is calculated and is multiplied by tourism spending associated with the culture and sport products. This distributes the estimated tourism spending to the appropriate domains and sub-domains of the CSA. This method relies on the assumption that culture and sport allocators, which distribute culture output from the Supply and Use tables (SUTs) to the domains and sub-domains of the CSA also reflect the allocation of tourism spending for each product.

Allocating tourism spending to culture and sport domains and sub-domains
Table summary
This table demonstrates a fictive example of how tourism spending is allocated to culture and sport subdomains. The table is sorted by the Supply and Use Product Code on the right column, with the culture/sport domain in the column over. These are then followed by the subdomain allocator column. Finally total tourism spending is the last column displayed.

Written and published works Books 0.5 500
Written and published works Periodicals 0.4 400
