Tourism and transportation industries have been playing as an important role to many economies, therefore it is critical to identify the inter-relationship among these industries in macroeconomic point of view and policies that impact on their development. In fact, the database such as input-output table to support analyses the impacts of transportation and policies on tourism promotion using inter-sectoral analyses are not always available due to the lack of explicitly presenting of both transportation and tourism industries in input-output table. The objective of this paper is firstly to apply the survey method to develop an IO table with transportation and tourism industries presented explicitly. Secondly, the top ten dominant industries of tourism are identified based on the input and output coefficients; transportation is one of the most dominant industries. Finally, the multiplier effect analysis is used to prove that transportation strongly promote tourism development. This result leads the critical need to have further inter-sectoral analyses of economic impacts of transportation on tourism.
