Direct Impacts Visitor expenditures directly benefit tourism businesses that directly serve the visitor This spending supports a relative proportion of jobs, wages, taxes and GDP within each sector Examples: hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, attractions, entertainment venues, retail stores, etc.

Indirect Impacts spending that occurs to support the businesses that support the visitors Each directly affected sector also purchases goods and services for those businesses Examples: food wholesalers that supply restaurants that feed visitors; linens that are purchased to use in hotels that house visitors, utilities that provide electricity, water, etc. to businesses that serve visitors

Induced Impacts spending that occurs in the economy from employees whose wages are generated either directly or indirectly by visitors When employees spend their wages in their community and those wages are a result of visitor spending Examples: a hotel employee buys groceries with her wages from the hotel that serves visitors, a restaurant server pays rent to his landlord with money earned serving visitors, an employee at a retail shop pays for his childs daycare expenses with money earned at the shop that serves visitors, etc.
