Value added data have been taken from the 2015 Malaysian Input-Output
transaction table. The 2015 Input-Output tables are 124 x 124 sector. In this
study, the 124 sectors in a transaction table are aggregated into 12 sectors
and focus on six tourism related sectors sector which are Accommodation,
Food and beverage, Passenger transport, Travel agencies, Cultural, sports and
recreation and Shopping. Then, this transaction table is constructed into a
technical coefficient matrix in order to conduct further analysis. Then,
coefficient table is developed to derive multipliers. The aggregating process
follows the guideline of Handbook of Input- Output Table Compilation and
Analysis, UN, New York, 2012 (UN, 2012).
There are various techniques created to determine the multipliers. The
most frequently used approach is the input-output technique. The major
benefit of input-output analysis is that it provides detailed information on
direct, indirect and induced effects towards the local economy (Loomis and
Walsh, 1997). The methodology adopted in this study is based on Leontief
input-output techniques where structure of an economy is analysed in terms
of inter-relationships between economic sectors (e.g. Miller and Blair, 1985).
