Collection errors, like when the interviewee gives incorrect information, or processing errors, like when the interviewer registers the answer incorrectly, are tried kept to a minimum by automatically controlling the answers during the interview.

 A 95% reliability interval of the sum estimate is published for trips.

13.3.3.4 Methods used for dealing with/minimising unit non-response

The data is meant to represent the whole Norwegian population in the age group 16-79 years, not only the sample. In order to calculate totals, the data is grouped in four age groups (16-24 years, 25-44 years, 45-66 years and 67-79 years) and sex. Variables like number of tourists, number of trips, number of overnights stops and tourist expenditure is multiplied by a factor, which is define as the size of the population in the current strata divided by number of respondents in the same strata
