This paper analyses the role of non-tourism services in the Barbadian economy over the period 1980 to 1995. Given the significant contribution of these services to foreign exchange earnings and employment, this study provides important insights not only of the origin and nature of non-tourism service flows, but also an indication of their long-term growth trend. This paper also examines to some extent the components and definitions of the non-tourism service sectors and describes the data sources and presents the time regressions results, followed by a summary and conclusion.
