Regulation 692/2011

Regulation 1051/2011

Delegated Regulation 2019/1681

Generic statistical law: Act No. 89/1995 Coll., on the State Statistical Service, as amended; an overview of statistical surveys is published every year in the form of a Decree on the Programme of Statistical Surveys. 
Surveys without the reporting duty are carried out on a voluntary basis, these surveys are usually made by field workers directly in households..

CAPI method is applied with good system of quality control.

Data quality is acceptable at least as far as basic/aggregated variables are concerned. Detailed breakdowns or variables with lower frequency of occurance may be unreliable because of insufficient sample size due to financial limits.

No improvements.

See: Regulation 692/2011

The data is used by the government, national tourism agency, media, Balance of Payments etc., and therefore holds a significant relevance.

Main data users are:

• Ministry of local development
• National tourism board: CzechTourism
• Academic sphere (mainly universities), researchers
• Local authorities as destination managements
• Business sphere (e.g. hotel associations)
• Media and journalists

Compliant with the requirements of Regulation on tourism statistics 692/2011, Delegated Regulation 2019/1681, as well as recommendations laid down in the Methodological Manual for tourism statistics.

13.2.1.1, 13.2.1.2 (participation)
cofficient of variation (CV) was computed in a way for simple random sample
CV = s / p
where
s = Sqrt((1-n)/N)*p*(1-p)/n.
p is Horvitz-Thomson Estimator for population proportion
(literature - S. K. Thompson: Sampling, 2002).
In Horvitz-Thompson Estimator (p) calculation was used the stratification, where these strata were considered: gender, age and region.

Households are selected once a year from the Register of Census Districts and Buildings. Small census areas are currently dropped from the sampling frame due to practical sampling reasons (approximately 1.21% of dwellings). Due to differences in time span is not the current information about addresses or flats.

The sampling frame contains only private households. Persons living in institutional households are not covered.

Imputation of expenditure categories
number of overnight * average expenditure per one night
where average is calculated from the trips with known expenditures in the group of the same kind of trips

Expenditures for package trips were reallocated into expenditures on transport, accomodation, food and drinks and other expenditures.

Until 2008, only one member of age 15 and over of a household was selected. From 2009, all members of age 15 and over of a household were interviewed. In 2010, reference period was changed from one month to 3 months, while PAPI interview was switched to CAPI. In 2011, reference period was changed back to one month; tourism survey was integrated in LFS survey; participation in tourism was based on different (smaller) sample than trips.

Register of Census Districts and Buildings.

Census enumeration districts (CEUs) constitute the first-stage sampling units. CEUs are small geographical areas covering the whole territory of the country. They are used as enumeration districts during the census, but their use is more general. Continuously updated geographical register is maintained by the Czech Statistical Office.

Some overcoverage exists in the Register of Census Districts and Buildings in terms of recorded residential status (usually about 4% addresses of the samples are coded as "administrative waste" - non residential (recreational or commercial space, temporarily empty flats - no persons with usual residence, demolished buildings not yet deleted from the register)).

Dwellings were selected using stratified two-stage probability sampling design.

The strata consist of 77 districts, including Prague considered as one district.

The primary sampling units are census (enumeration) areas (CEU) that are sampled (by randomised systematic sampling) with probability proportional to size, i.e. a number of dwellings per census area.

In the second stage, 6 dwellings were sampled in each sampled CEU (simple random sampling without replacement).

All individuals aged 15+ in households living in selected dwellings are interviewed.

Each quarterly sample consists of a panel interviewed for four quarters consecutively.

The reference period for the household is only one month from the quarter.

Data are collected with face-to-face interview (50%) and by telephone (50%, usually with repeated interviews).

27% of interviews were conducted with the assistance of electronic equipment (notebook, tablet), the other ones with pen-and-paper (73%).

Proxy interviews are accepted.
43% of respondents (persons) and 41% of trips were inquired via proxy.

Data of the net sample of persons are grossed up to the target population by weighting. The weights are based on the post-stratification into six age groups (15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65+), sex and regions (NUTS 3). Demographics figures for each quarter 2022 were forecasted from the definite demographic data for end of year 2021 with assuming a migration and natural increase.
