The aim of the paper is to analyse the economic impact of tourism in developing countries, compare the results according to the tourism regions and measure the importance of tourism in the economy of developing countries. In order to measure the economic impact of tourism, the input-output model is adapted to the conditions of tourism economic impacts. The article introduces a comprehensive overview of the tourism impact in developing countries, classified into tourism regions according to the UNWTO. For each region the minimum and maximum values as well as median were calculated, in order to reduce the variability within the regions.
