15.1. Comparability - geographical | ||||||
Data are comparable on the levels of the territorial and administrative distribution. The use of the new data source for the calculation of tourist turnover (since 2022) has interrupted full comparability on the level of a tourism resort. Due to changes in the categorization of tourism resorts, data are not comparable on the level of a tourism resort starting from 2022. |

In CIS in the field of catering and tourism, during the check in in a catering facility providing accommodation for each user one enters the date of check in, planned date of departure and date of check out (when the user checks out from the facility). Knowing that the realised number of overnight stays for a user is counted as the difference between the date of arrival and departure, imputation of the value is required for the date of arrival when the user is not checked out from the system at the moment of data retrieval. For the mentioned users, SORS imputes as the date of departure the value of the planned date of departure that is entered by the catering entity at the moment of user check in. |
