i would imagine that the tourist dollar multiplier is much like the export multiplier of economics, where money from an external source (such as tourists) is injected into the local economy and circulates around several times depending on the marginal propensity to consume. net result is that these funds boost the economic activity of a community/country because those employed in the tourism industry will spend their incomes on local products where the economic impact is somewhat proportional to the the quantity of tourism sold

value added production is the imputs of labour to a primary good to increase its value (eg. refining iron ore into steel, which is secondary production), not entirely sure how it relates to tourism, though tourism is a service (though i can't remember it's tertuary, quaternary or quinery production)
