3.1. Data description | ||||||||||
The survey on trips of the residents collects data on personal/leisure and business trips made by residents aged 15 to 85 years old. The survey focuses on topics like purpose, destination, duration, period, type of accomodation, means of transport, expenses,... It also covers general information like participation in tourism, non-participation and the reasons for non-participation. Same-day trips for personal and business reasons are topics of the survey too (purpose, cost ...). Eurostat adds triennial questions. In 2020, the means of booking (transport and accomodation) were under focus. For national interest, Luxembourg National Institute punctually enquires additional topics: - reimbursement (Covid cancellations), motivation for domestic tourism, regional tourism in 2020; - the ideal vacation and perception of ESCH 2020 European capital of Culture in 2021; - the ideal place for a short term vacation at less than 300 km from home in 2022. The survey is conducted 4 times a year and focuses on trips that end during a period of 3 months. The indicators of annual participation are collected once a year, during the last survey that is run in January-February of the year +1. |

7.1. Confidentiality - policy | |||
STATEC is an administration under the authority of the Ministry of Economics. Nevertheless, it is scientifically and professionally independent, i.e. that STATEC sets its work plan in conformity to the national and European statistical legislation, and generates and disseminates its data in complete neutrality. We are applying the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation). The Law of July 10, 2011 on the organisation of STATEC sets out its missions and its internal organisation. Article 16 defines the guaranty of non-disclosure of confidential information when statistical results are disseminated. In addition, the Article 458 of the Criminal Code is applicable to the civil servants and those persons responsible for compilation of data, without prejudice to any disciplinary sanctions. see: https://statistiques.public.lu/dam-assets/fr/statistique-publique/statec/missions/nouvloistatec.pdf |
|||
7.2. Confidentiality - data treatment | |||
STATEC takes all the necessary logical, physical and administrative measures to ensure the data protection in all the stages of the statistical process. - Microdata files provided to users are anonymized by excluding identification information. - Only aggregated data are published. The results tables published are analysed to avoid that private information could be deduced from them. - Data allowing direct identification are kept just while they are necessary to guarantee the quality of the processes. |

10.7. Quality management - documentation | |||
Variables are collected according to the definitions of the "Eurostat Methodological manual for tourism statistics" https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/3859598/6454997/KS-GQ-14-013-EN-N.pdf#page=127 |

||||||
11.1. Quality assurance | ||||||
The quality of the statistical information and its production is ensured by the provisions of the European Statistics Code of Practice. Definitions laid down in the methodological manual are respected. For several years, data collection is organised in collaboration with a statistical institute having reached a high level of experience. Syntax and coherence checks are run on the collected data. Weights and imputations are calculated by STATEC and methods are periodically revised and updated. Survey questions and translation are regularly revised and improved. |

13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Non-response is the main source of error in the statistics on Tourism. Non-response reaches more than 55% of the sample. The travel behaviour of non-respondents may differ from those having responded. Weightings improve the quality of the data but the computation is only based on the few known characteristics like age, gender and nationality. The reporting of individuals trips may also be affected by the memory problems (trips forgotten, costs partially known, ...). Imputations may correct expenses missing values which are the most numerous type of missing values. 3 to 6% of expenditures are imputed. Nevertheless, coefficients of variation are rather low (0.9% for Participation in Tourism f.i.). |

No geographical comparability problems. The survey covers the whole country. |

15.2. Comparability - over time | ||||||
|
||||||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | ||||||
We are not making any cross domain comparison for tourism statistics. As far as expenditure is concerned, no comparison is made due to significant conceptual differences between tourism statistics and balance of payment statistics. Considering that only few percent of all leisure and business overnight trips made by the residents of Luxembourg are spent on the national territory, Luxembourg has not reconciled demand data with supply data. |

15.4. Coherence - internal | ||||||

|

Costs are not systematically collected. Burden for the respondents: Median answering times for replying to the survey on Leisure and business tourism: - for respondents that have made no trip: 10 minutes - for respondents having made one trip: 16 minutes - for respondents having made 2 trips: 20 minutes - for respondents having made 3 trips and more: 22 minutes CATI-interviews last 1-2 minutes less than the questionnaire filled online. |
|
|||
17.1. Data revision - policy | |||
We don't publish preliminary results for tourism demand. The publication is only revised in case of significant error. The data published on STATEC website can be updated from day-to-day but is usually updated when a new year is added. |
|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
Revisions of the data are possible on the website and are made whenever required. The revision date is then indicated on the release. |
