ABSTRACT
The Philippine government has recognized the potential of the Health and
Wellness Tourism industry in job creation and in spurring economic growth. To be
able to monitor the contribution of this emerging economic sector to national
development, obviously statistics are needed. However, currently the Philippine
Statistical System (PSS) does not generate the necessary information that can
provide a meaningful assessment of the health and wellness tourism industry.
This paper presents the initial efforts of the PSS in the measurement o f this
sector, with special focus on its relationship with the national income accounts,
particularly with the Philippine Tourism Satellite Accounts (PTSA). It shows how the
sector can be articulated as a subsector of private services under personal and
medical services. The paper also shows how the health and wellness services can be
highlighted in the PTSA as part of the tourism -characteristic industries. The paper
further explores the existing statistical data generated by the different institutions in
the PSS and proposes recommendations to make their data collection schemes
respond to the requirements of measuring health and wellness tourism. Finally, it
demonstrates the coordination and collaboration mechanisms that have been put in
place in the PSS with the participation of the private sector to facilitate the generation
of health and wellness tourism statistics.
Keywords: health and wellness tourism, national income accounts, tourism satellite
accounts, personal and medical services, tourism-characteristic industries.
I. Introduction
Many countries, including the Philippines have recognized the potential of health and
wellness tourism for economic growth. In its efforts to promote tourism, the Department of
Tourism (DOT) has noted the country’s compara tive edge in health and wellness tourism due
to abundance of natural resources, unique Filipino healing practices, fluency in the English
language and competitive cost. The DOT (2007) has therefore targeted to position the
country as the health and wellness destination in Asia. Indeed, the Republic of the
Philippines (2007) has recognized that health and wellness is one of the major sectors for
economic growth and has formulated a private sector-driven master plan for the

development of this service industry. 3 The Medium Term Philippine Development Plan
(MTPDP) 2004 – 2010 also seeks to enhance and promote health tourism, together with
other tourism products. In support of the MTPDP, the Philippine Statistical Development
Program (PSDP) 2005 – 2010 has included the development of data systems to generate
indicators on medical tourism among the statistical activities to be undertaken in the medium
term.
Based on the Philippine Tourism Satellite Account (PTSA), Virola et. al. (2001)
estimated the total tourism expenditure in the Philippines at 140 billion pesos in 1994 and
274 billion pesos in 1998, translating to an average annual increase of 11 %. Value Added of
Tourism Industries (VATI) was estimated at 200 billion pesos in 1994 and 334 billion pesos in
1998, representing 12% and 13 % respectively of the country’s Gross Domestic Product
(GDP).
However, Virola, et. al. (2002) recognizes that the preliminary results of the PTSA
are limited in scope and coverage due to data constraints that hinder the analysis of the link
between tourism consumption and the supply of tourism goods and services. The coverage
of the PTSA must therefore be expanded to fully and more reliably measure the economic
aspects considered important in the Philippine setting, such as health and wellness tourism.

II. Health and Wellness Tourism Statistics, the National Income Accounts and the
integrated framework that measures stocks of resources and flows of goods, services,
income and other economic instruments that emanate from using these resources or as
guidelines, the latest of which is the System of National Accounts or SNA (1993). One of the
flexibilities offered by the 1993 SNA is the expansion of the analytical capacity of national
accounting for selected areas of concern without overburdening the central framework. This
is done thru satellite accounts. The NSCB has compiled satellite accounts on the
environment, education, tourism and health and has started work on science and
The PTSA provides additional information for tourism concerns not present in the
classification systems and accounting frameworks, the PTSA is consistent and is fully linked
with the PSNA. The PTSA aims to demonstrate the output of tourism industries vis-à-vis
the consumption expenditures of visitors. However, while the Philippines thru the NSCB and
the DOT are actively involved 4 in the UN-WTO efforts to promote and improve the
compilation of tourism satellite accounts, as pointed out earlier, the PTSA has limitations that
need to be addressed. At present, the PTSA consists of ten tables that correspond partially
to the ten tables prescribed by the TSA:RMF (2000) as shown in Annex 1. It can be noted
that the PTSA does not have information on outbound tourism. Moreover, the frequency and
distance dimensions of the concept of usual environment need to be defined more explicitly

services has to be drawn more clearly and the data support and/or the methodology for the
Health and wellness tourism is of course a component of the PTSA and the PSNA.
Establishments engaged in health and wellness tourism are part of the tourism characteristic
industry; and the services provided by these establishments are covered by the PSNA under
Private Services more specifically, under two subsectors: Personal Services and Medical
Services.
However, primarily due to data constraints, there is nothing in the current PTSA or
PSNA that can provide an explicit characterization of health and wellness tourism as a
component of the Philippine economy. Health and wellness tourism is “hidden” somewhere
under Personal Services or Medical Services of the PSNA. On the other hand, not one of the
ten tables generated under the current PTSA shows information specifically on health and
wellness tourism. The PTSA tables have data only for categories that are explicitly listed
among the tourism-specific industries, whether characteristic or connected. The PTSA also

tourism-characteristic industries from the rest of the industries comprising the economy. In

III. Efforts of the Philippine Statistical System (PSS) in Measuring Health and
Wellness Tourism
The PSS is a decentralized system with the National Statistical Coordination Board
(NSCB) as the agency tasked with the coordination function. One coordination mechanism
that the NSCB uses is the creation of interagency/technical committees and task forces5. In
recognition of the importance of trade 6 in the Philippine economy, the NSCB created the
statistical issues on the emerging health and wellness tourism industry, the IAC-TrS created
Tourism Services (TF) in July 2006. The TF, chaired by the NSCB, is composed of
representatives from the Department of Health (DOH), DOT, Department of Foreign Affairs,
National Economic and Development Authority, National Statistics Office (NSO), Department
of Trade and Industry, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and the Philippine Institute of
Development Studies.
On 22 October 2004, Executive Order No. 372 was issued creating a public-private
sector task force (PPP TF) for the development of globally competitive Philippine service
industries. The PPP TF created a Committee on Health and Wellness which identified four
clusters of health and wellness development for promotion purposes: hospitals, specialty
5
As of September 7, 2007, the NSCB has 11 interagency committees, 6 technical committees and 5 task forces.

In 2004-2006, Trade comprised almost 17 % of Philippine GDP in constant prices. The IAC-TrS is chaired by NEDA Deputy
Director General Margarita R. Songco.
clinics, wellness and spa centers and retirement/elderly care homes.
Working on this clustering the NSCB TF has come up with a proposed definition of
health and wellness tourism, drafted a questionnaire for a pilot survey of health and wellness
tourism industry but excluding for the time being the cluster on retirement/elderly care homes
The specific health and wellness services covered by each of the four clusters were
determined through the 2002 Philippine Central Product Classification (PCPC), which is
patterned after the United Nations Central Product Classification Version 1.1. On the other
hand, the establishments providing these services were classified according to the 2004
Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC) patterned after the International Standard
The survey questionnaire (Annex 2) was designed to estimate the following, among
others: a) total revenue by client (resident or nonresident) and by type of health and wellness
Definition
As defined by NSCB (2007), health and wellness tourism refers to the activities of
persons traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than
one consecutive year for health and wellness purposes not related to the exercise of an
activity remunerated from within the place visited. The DOT (2007) associates it with travel

From the 3 -digit level of the PSIC, we could identify three groups of activities under
which Health and Wellness Tourism activities fall (Table 1). These are

Obviously, not all activities falling under these 3 -digit PSIC classifications are health
and wellness tourism. Going down to the 5 -digit level will refine the scope and coverage but
there still remain activities which cannot be classified as health and wellness tourism.
IV. Evaluation of Existing Data Collection vs. Data Requirements of Health and
Wellness Tourism
The biggest issue confronting the PSS in the measurement of the emerging health
and wellness tourism industry is the appropriateness and responsiveness of the existing
In order to meaningfully quantify the impact of Health and Wellness tourism in the
economy, it is desirable to gather the following data, among others: 1) outputs and

intermediate inputs of industries engaged in Health and Wellness tourism; 2) revenues
derived from resident and non-resident users of health and wellness services, including
consumption expenditure on health and wellness; and 5) gross fixed capital formation of
The consultative forum sought to assess the feasibility of the survey/monitoring form
to capture the needed statistics and indicators for the sector. The forum successfully
solicited the commitment of the participants both from government and the private sector to
support the data collection efforts that will be undertaken in the future. During the
b) whether establishment-respondents have the capability to provide the details asked, such
estimates; d) lack of familiarity with classification systems and e) separation of medical from
nonmedical employees.
Towards quantifying health and wellness tourism, the possible data sources include
the following:
1) Arrival/Departure (A/D) Cards- The A/D cards which are processed by the DOT
2) Visitor’s Sample Survey (VSS) - The VSS is a monthly survey that generates
deriving estimates of foreign exchange earnings from visitors. One category under purpose
of travel in the VSS is health reason s. It also asks questions on actual expenditures incurred
but not directly from availment of health and wellness tourism services.
Quarterly (QSPBI) and Annual (ASPBI) Surveys of Philippine Business Industries, and the
collection and compilation of statistical information on the structure and level of economic
employment, hours worked, compensation, cost, capital formation, etc. The ASPBI12 collects
the same information but only from a sample of establishments. The QSPBI collects
quarterly data on gross revenue/sales, employment and compensation for each of the major
industry groups, using purposive sampling. A more detailed description and profiles of these
from these data sources are summarized based on the 1994 PSIC. One limitation of these
data sources is that at present, they cannot segregate revenues from visitors and non-
visitors.
4) Administrative and regulatory forms of the Department of Health (DOH) - The DOH
maintains a Field Health Service Information System, which collects public health statistics
emanating from barangay health stations. The DOH also maintains the Hospital Operations
hospital management that contains admitting and billing records among others. However,
these systems do not currently generate information for health and wellness tourism.
While the data sources cited cannot provide in general, the information needed, they
certainly can be reviewed for more appropriate disaggregation or possible inclusion of data
items/questions that can generate the necessary information for the measurement of health
11
Normally, the CPBI is conducted every 5 years. The latest CPBI was conducted in August 2000 with the year 1999 as the
reference period. The preliminary release came out in April 2004 and the final tables were released by the NSO in June 2005.
12
The ASPBI is a nationwide survey of the NSO that covers all administrative regions of the country usi ng a one-stage
stratified random sampling. For the 2002 ASPBI (reference period 2001) the preliminary release came out in January 2005, the
final release in December 2005; for the 2003 ASPBI (reference period 2003), the preliminary release came out in June 2005,
the final results in February 2007; for the 2005 ASPBI (reference period 2005), the preliminary results came out in April 2007
with the final tables targeted to be released in the last quarter of 2007.
and wellness tourism. For example, if the CPBI and ASPBI data could be processed at the 5-
digit PSIC level, the social work activities and other service activities can be purified to
exclude many of the economic activities now included under health and wellness tourism
statistics such as child care services, caring for the mentally and physically handicapped,
charitable services, barber shops, beauty parlors and funeral and related activities (Table 1).
Moreover, the information from the available data sources does not allow for the separation
or revenues, cost, employment and other variables associated with visitors from those
V. Indicative Analysis
So far, the pilot survey has not generated the response 13 needed to provide
information on health and wellness tourism with some degree of adequacy. As work on
generating statistics for health and wellness tourism is at its initial stages, in addition to the
limitations on the data sources already mentioned, there are also coverage limitations, both
in terms of scope and classification. Subject to these limitation s, below are some of the
statistics on health and wellness tourism based on three PSIC groups namely, hospital
activities and medical and dental practices (851), social work activities (853) and other
service activities (930) derived from the CPBI and the ASPBI.
While the combined employment of the three groups of activities under health and
wellness tourism barely moved between 1999 and 2003, it surged by 13.2 percent from
2003 to 2005, one year after the issuance of E.O 372 that created the public-private sector
partnership to formulate a development strategy for the industry. However, its share to total
employment remained below one per cent. Hospital Activities and Medical and Dental
13
Two months after the deadline and despite commitments made during the consultative workshop, less than 20 % of the
establishments have responded.
Practices constituted the biggest employer among the three groups with more than 50
percent share and social work activities the smallest at just over one per cent (Table 2).
As with employment, revenues of health and wellness tourism industries rose faster
after EO 372. Prior to 2004, revenues grew at slower rates than either Gross Value Added
(GVA) of Total Private Services or Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Revenues however,
remain at about 1.3% of GDP, close to the contribution of the smallest economic sector,
Mining and Quarrying. On the other hand, the share of revenues of health and wellness
tourism to the GVA of total private services, while increasing slightly between 2003 and
2005, is still below 10 percent. Almost 80 percent of the growth in revenues between 2003
and 2005 came from Hospital Activities and Medical and Dental practices (Table 3).
The cost, or the expenses incurred during the year whether paid or payable as defined
in the CPBI and the ASPBI, likewise indicated comparatively greater increases after EO 372,
rising by 18.3 % from 1999 to 2001, by 19.4 % from 2001 to 2003 and by 40.6 % from 2003
to 2005 (Table 4). As with revenue and employment, the bulk of the costs came from
Hospital Activities and Medical and Dental Practices. Compared to revenue, the cost
increased faster, causing the Revenue to Cost ratio to continuously decline from 1.86 in
1999 to 1.72 in 2001 then to 1.65 and 1.60 in 2003 and 2005, respectively. The decline was
caused mainly by the continuing decline in the Revenue to Cost ratio of the biggest
component of health and wellness tourism, namely, Hospital Activities and Medical and
Dental Practices, from 1.85 in 1999, 1.71 in 2001, 1.61 in 2003 and 1.56 in 2005. This
If these statistics are indicative of the performance of the health and wellness tourism
industry, it would be interesting to know if the 2005 trend was replicated in 2006 14 and if the
trend is being sustained in 2007. It must be stressed however, that the information shown is
very preliminary and cannot be conclusively used as a measure of the performance and
contribution of the Health and Wellness Industry in the country. Nonetheless, these statistics
show that it is possible to provide estimates of the importance of the health and wellness
In this regard, the Philippine Statistical System (PSS) must take on the challenge to
At present, the NSCB and the DOT are the two agencies with the most active role
towards the measurement of health and wellness tourism in the country. Because of the
collaborative work of NSCB and DOT, the Philippines has been actively participating in
moving the TSA agenda at the international level. However, the other stakeholders have
important roles to play. Institutional arrangements have to be agreed upon to address data
gaps. Fortunately, aside from the IAC-TrS and the TF, the NSCB has also created an Inter-
agency Committee on Tourism Statistics (IAC-TS) that in fact, paved the way for the
development of the PTSA. These bodies serve as venues for discussion of technical and
operational issues covering the sector. Based on the Philippine experience, inter-agency
committees are effective tools for coordination and provide the fora for a meaningful
exchange of views and expertise and the resolution of statistical issues. The member
agencies of the IAC-TrS, the IAC-TS and the TF have been supporting and cooperating in
the joint activities. However, it is necessary to further strengthen the roles and the monitoring
14
It would be possible to assess this because the NSO is conducting a 2006 CPBI.
VII. Concluding Remarks
Obviously, despite the availability of some data collection mechanisms, the PSS is
not yet able to generate the data needed to adequately measure health and wellness
tourism. And while collaboration and cooperation among the stakeholders exist, stronger
implement plans and agreements that have been formulated. Concerned data compiling
government agencies like the DOT, the NSCB and the NSO should try harder to collect and
disseminate the necessary health and wellness tourism statistics. The NSO should be
ready to produce statistics with lower levels of disaggregation or at least produce Public Use
health and wellness tourism. At the same time, tourism planners from both the private
sector and government should develop the capacity to use statistics in their decision-making
and policy formulation. Likewise, households, establishments and data source agencies from
government must show greater willingness and to provide support to data collection efforts.
This includes the willingness to provide data that have not been provided in the past, such
as on foreign exchange earnings and clientele served. Finally, statistics require resources; it
is therefore imperative that both the government and the private sector develop the political
