13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The type of survey and the data collection methods ensure sufficient coverage and timeliness. The error due to probability sampling is estimated for more important indicators. Sometimes respondents have difficulties remembering expenditures made during the trip. Respondents are interviewed about the trips which ended in the previous month(s) and due to the width of the time range it is not certain that all trips are included. This can lead to the underestimation of trips and expenses. When different modes of transport were used there can be the problem of choosing main means of transport. The questions about the participation in tourism in the previous year are asked in January. This can lead to error due to the memory effect. |

15.1. Comparability - geographical | ||||||
The data are comparable with the data of other European Union countries.
The survey covers the whole country. However, the problems of comparability between regions can rise from the different response rates in urban and rural areas and in small and large towns. Due to the quite small sample size, calibration and weighting based only on sex and age groups, these differences cannot be eliminated.
|
||||||
15.2. Comparability - over time | ||||||
|
||||||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | ||||||
In 2022, the number of nights spent in rented accommodations on the demand side was 2 943 thousand and on the supply side 5 950 thousand. However, the number of accommodated tourists in rented accommodation was 3 353 thousand. These figures are not fully comparable due to the difference in methodology of the supply side and the demand side. |
||||||
15.4. Coherence - internal | ||||||
The data for the reference year 2022 for the domestic over-night stays for outbound trips, participation of minors in tourism and the type of destination is not fully comparable due to a technical error, which occured during the data collection for trips ending in November and December of 2022. |
