3.1. Data description | ||||||||||
The data is collected via quaterly sample survey. The data set contains variables on the pattern of the trip (e.g. month of departure, number of nights, main country of destination, main purpose of the trip, main means of transport) as well as on the individual (gender, age, educational level, employment situation, ...). The concepts and definitions used in the data collection process are conform to the specifications described in the Methodological manual for tourism statistics. |

|||
7.2. Confidentiality - data treatment | |||
It is regulated by the Federal Statistics Act that the statistics comply with high standards of statistical confidentiality. The strict confidentiality provisions of the Austrian Federal Statistics Act 2000 regulate the handling of sensitive data. Values below 80 000 extrapolated trips per quarter or 160 000 per year, as well as overnight stays that are less than 120 000 extrapolated overnight stays per quarter or 240 000 per year cannot be interpreted statistically and are therefore suppressed. Data are also only published rounded to the nearest thousand. |

11.1. Quality assurance | ||||||
Several steps help to assure the quality of the data, when collecting (e.g. information letter, pre-tests, agent compendium and training, supervision and reporting system, interview schedule, plausibility checks) and processing it (plausibility checks, imputation and weighting), and before publishing it (plausibility and coherence checks of aggregated results, sample error). |

13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Several steps help to assure the quality of the data, when collecting (e.g. pre-information letter, pre-tests, agent compendium and training, supervision and reporting system, interview schedule, plausibility checks) and processing it (plausibility checks, imputation and weighting), and before publishing it (plausibility and coherence checks of aggregated results, sample error). Plausibility checks are integrated in the questionnaire, which are called "hard errors" and "signals". Thus, input errors can be detected and corrected. A second phase of the validation is provided in the context of data processing using R. Implausible values on individual level, which are rare due to the built-in questionnaire validity check, are identified as missing values and are replaced during the imputation process. Furthermore quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year comparisons on aggregated level ensure a certain quality. The main indicator for measuring the sampling error is the coefficient of variation (CV). The variation is generally low. Estimates are considered precise or reasonably precise e.g. Number of trips with purpose "leisure, recreation and holidays" whereas more detailed variables have a larger sampling error (e.g. Number of trips by destination). Non-response can be high for expenditure data. Data are in this case imputed to avoid underestimation. |

15.1. Comparability - geographical | ||||||
There are no problems of comparability between geographical regions with a high sample size (e.g. Top 5 destinations abroad). Countries, with a lower sample size, have a higher margin of error, for this reason comparability is not given anymore. No problems of comparability between regions. |
||||||
15.2. Comparability - over time | ||||||
|
||||||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | ||||||
The data is used for TSA and BoP. The survey data concerning nights spent by residents in rented accommodation establishments in Austria is coherent with the results from the Austrian accommodation statistics, even though the data collection processes are very different. A comparison (from 2010 to the 1st quarter 2017) of the monthly sample survey data with the results from the accommodation statistics, which are very reliable since they rely on a cut-off sample, concerning nights spent by residents in rented accommodation establishments, showed that the trends concerning the level of the nights spent match very well. On average the survey data is 26% (nights) lower than the accommodation statistics. Aside from other conceptual differences, the discrepancy could be due to the fact that the survey data does not include children, while children are included in the accommodation statistics. |

15.4. Coherence - internal | ||||||
The data are coherent internally. |
