Alphaeus 0. Ohakweh focused on measuring tourism’s monetary benefits and costs in the Portland metropolitan area in the calendar year, 1980 by means of the monetary benefit-cost model (the net monetary benefit model). In assessing metropolitan monetary benefits, his dissertation developed prediction of the income and employment multiplier effects as intermediate inputs. In this research, income and employment multipliers of 1.1024 were derived by these two multiplier models. Results of the analysis strongly supported the following two major hypotheses. ① Tourism in the metropolitan area provides significant employment creation and income generation possibilities. ② Tourism creates more benefits than it causes service costs to the metropolitan area.
