"The USAID-funded Jordan Tourism Development Project has been working with the Government of Jordan on the strengthening of their tourism statistics and the development of a Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) since 2007.
In 2010, a first pilot TSA was attempted for Jordan seen as applicable to the year 2008. The finding at that time was that data limitations prevented the possibility of building the TSA. In that attempt to compile the TSA, it was not possible to balance supply with demand (overall the demand figures were greater than supply, which is impossible). Supply should be greater than demand as residents consume tourism products (in addition to tourists), so combined, supply is greater (or at least equal to) demand in that it includes expenditure and consumption by residents and tourists."
