Economic Analysis
of the CaribbeanBrazilian Tourism
Market
São Paulo,

November 26, 2013
Therese Turner -Jones
IDB Representative,
Jamaica
Motivation
• Caribbean tourism is highly concentrated in terms of
visitor origin.
• Brazil offers a big, fast growing country with
travelling population
However,
• Challenges arise from accessing new markets
Upfront investment and recurrent guarantee liabilities.
Fiscal challenges in many countries.
Specific details of cost/risk sharing for guarantee and
marketing cost essential for benefits to countries.
Is it worth it?
Benefits
 GDP
 Revenues
 Employment
 New trade routes
 Freight possibility
Costs
 Marketing
 Guarantee
 Future liabilities
Cost-Benefit Analysis
• Success depends on
Number of visitors (NV)
Spending per visitor
Value for money, experience
• Influences marketing spend in subsequent years.
Benefits = NV·$ + NV·$· Tax Rate
Cost = MARKETING + GUARANTEE (depends
on guarantee agreement and load factor)
Assumptions
• One additional weekly flight with capacity of 220
– US$800 for Jamaica and Bahamas, US$700 for TT and
Barbados.
• Full guarantee for Barbados, 85% capacity guarantee
for Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago and none for
Bahamas.
• Spending is US$3000 for one week. Different taxation
for different spending categories.
• US$1 million for marketing in first year, then
US$500,000.
• Capacity 90% and 65% in high and low season.

Under high and medium loading scenario, no fiscal burden on
government. Guarantee and marketing costs lead to losses under
low scenario.
Except for Bahamas, 65% or higher capacity is needed to avoid
negative fiscal impact.
Sensitivity
Three major assumptions and its influences
• Load factor of flights
– Marketing expenditures (research before and on relationship
with travel agents)
• Guarantee
– Wide range from 100% seats guaranteed to partial (e.g. below
85%) to fixed amount per seat.
• Marketing
– New initiative will require substantial first time investment.
However, amounts should decline over time and could be shared
with hotels, travel providers (PPP)
Risks and possibilities
 Under the baseline, the initiative
would add 0.1% in GDP and
US$405K of revenue.
 However, airlines might insist in a
full guarantee of all seats, which
would add almost US$2 million in
cost.
 While Brazilian tourists have
relative high spending power,
Tobago might attract lower budget
travelers.

 Suggestion: Type of guarantee and targeting of potential
visitors will determine economic and fiscal impact of
initiative.

Risks and possibilities
• Under the baseline, the initiative
would add 0.2% in GDP and
US$800K of revenue.
• If Brazilians spend similar to
current tourists, revenues would
not be sufficient to compensate
for additional cost.
• Airlines might insist on a full
guarantee , which would add
almost US$1.2m. Ideally, GOJ
would ‘subsidize’ each seat.

burden but might be lower in following years.

• Suggestion: Potential to use marketing for two weekly
flights or to market short trips from the US. Specific
targeting of visitors similar to current ones could increase
benefit.

Under the baseline, the initiative would
add 0.5% in GDP and US$500K of
revenue.
Marketing would also benefit existing
flight.
The current guarantee scheme
concentrates risk on government.
Savings could be achieved by changing
it, for instance restrict it to 85% load.
If capacity is not achieved, additional
incentives could be given, adding
US$800K cost.

Suggestion: Marketing could increase load factor of the existing
flight. Savings could also be achieved by using different
guarantees (up to 85%). At the same time, experience shows that
additional incentives might be needed.

Opportunity costs
 Cost-Benefit cannot be seen in isolation as marginal
impact is important for decision.
– What would be effect of same marketing and guarantee scheme
for existing, mature markets (USA, Canada, UK)?
 General rate of return of government expenditures.
Versus exploring new market
• Private sector focuses more on mature markets.
• Accessing new markets is costly, requires front loaded
investment and has externalities (everyone benefits whether
they pay or not).
• Public good character.
• Diversification.
• Externalities in terms of trade routes, knowledge about
Caribbean.
Conclusions
• Brazil offers new opportunities for the Caribbean to
diversify visitors, both in terms of origin but also
characteristics.
• Our results indicate that there are potential benefits from
the initiative under realistic assumptions.
• New market probably requires upfront investment and
some kind of guarantee. These expenditures have
characteristics of a public good.
• Creative solutions needed to share burden and risk, PPP,
regional PR campaign.
• However, potential liabilities for government as well as
incentives for airlines/travel agents depend on details of
the guarantee.
