This study uses the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 2002 to define the tourism-related industries. Briefly, NAICS is a comprehensive industry classification system encompassing all economic activities. It is designed for the compilation of production statistics and, therefore, for the classification of data relating to establishments (and locations). The criteria used to group establishments into industries in NAICS are similarity of input structures, labour skills or production processes used.

In order to maintain the reliability of the data, several tourism industries have been grouped together. Thus the tourism industry groups of the Human Resource Module (HRM) include:

  • Transportation
    • Air transportation
    • All other transportation (includes rail, water, bus, taxi and vehicle rental)
  • Accommodation
  • Food and beverage services
  • Recreation and entertainment
  • Travel services

Following is a detailed list of all tourism industries, including their NAICS codes.
