The intermediate inputs are further refined through expert management, workforce, and technical services.The services associated with the tourism industry are the intermediate outputs.
The hotel room is just a commodity if it is occupied by a tourist and turned into a part of a tourism product.The food at restaurants needs to be prepared by the staff at the restaurant and ordered by tourists.
The personal experience the tourist takes fromvailing services and carrying out various tourism-related activities is what the final outputs are.The tourists use the intermediate outputs to generate intangible but high value experiences such as satisfaction, recreation, and completion of a business related task or maintaining a contact of friends or relatives.
