STEAM

STEAM (The Scarborough Tourism Economic Activity Model) is derived from a model developed in the process of creating a ten-year tourism policy for the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1981. It is based on real data but some is Powys wide, some regional (eg Southern Wales) and some is national.

STEAM approaches the measurement of tourism at the local level from the supply side, which has the benefit of immediacy and relative inexpensiveness.  Its strength is in the relative change between years rather than the absolute amount shown.  Read further notes for details of all the caveats.
