v1.1: Edited, anonymised dataset for licensed distribution
leisure, tourism and sport [13.4]
Statistics South Africa collects data on foreign tourism from the South African Department of Home Affairs. Data on domestic tourism is also needed to measure its contribution to the national economy. The Domestic Tourism Survey (DTS) is aimed at addressing this need by collecting data on the travel behaviour and expenditure of South African residents travelling within and outside the borders of South Africa.
South Africa
National coverage
The lowest level of geographic aggregation covered by the data is province.
The target population of the survey consists of all private households and residents in workers’ hostels in the nine provinces of South Africa. The survey does not cover other collective living quarters such as students’ hostels, oldage homes, hospitals, prisons and military barracks and is therefore only representative of non-institutionalised and non-military persons in South Africa.
Sample survey data [ssd]
The scope of the Domestic Tourism Survey 2012 includes: household characteristcs, education of household members, tourism employment, and day/overnight trips by the respondent and/or other household members. These include travel for business, recreation, entertainment, sports and nature based travel, religious and medical travel, type of transport used and expenditure on this type of travel.
For the Domestic Tourism Survey SSA used a household survey master sample of 3 080 primary sampling units from the 80 787 enumeration areas (EAs) created for the 2001 Population Census. The master sample used a two-stage, stratified design with probability-proportional-to-size (PPS) sampling of PSUs from within strata, and systematic sampling of dwelling units (DUs) from the sampled primary sampling units (PSUs). A self-weighting design at provincial level was used and MS stratification was divided into two levels, primary and secondary stratification. Primary stratification was defined by metropolitan and non-metropolitan geographic area type. During secondary stratification, the Census 2001 data were summarised at PSU level. The following variables were used for secondary stratification; household size, education, occupancy status, gender, industry and income.
