Abstract
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. This survey provides data on domestic tourism activity during the period December 2009 - May 2010.
Kind of Data
Sample survey data [ssd]
Unit of Analysis

Coverage
Geographic Coverage
National coverage
Geographic Unit
The lowest level of geographic aggregation covered by the data is province.
Universe
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.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
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.
Response Rate
The eligible households in the sampled dwellings can be divided into two response categories: respondents and non-respondents.
a) Respondents: This category consists of eligible households in the sampled dwellings that completed the survey questionnaire and provided usable survey responses.
b) Non-respondents: These are the eligible households in the sampled dwellings that did not complete the questionnaire, e.g. refusal, no contact, temporarily absent.
In general, the non-response adjustment was applied at PSU level and only in those cases where the nonresponse at the PSU level was too large, the non-response adjustment was applied at the stratum level.

Weighting
Sampling weights for the data collected from the sampled households are constructed so that responses can be expanded appropriately to represent the entire population of South Africa. The weights are the result of calculations involving several factors, including design weights, adjustment for non-response, and benchmarking to known population estimates from the Demographic Analysis division of Stats SA. The final survey weights are constructed by calibrating the adjusted base weight to the known population counts at national and provincial levels (which are supplied by the Demographic Analysis division of Statistics SA), cross-classified by 5-year age groups (0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 55-59, 60-64, and 65 and over), gender and race. The provincial population estimates are cross-classifiedby broad age groups (0-14, 15-34, 35-64, and 65 years and over). The calibrated weights are constructed to ensure that all persons in a household have the same final weight (integrated weighting).

Data Collection Notes
For the Domestic Tourism Survey 2010 survey officers employed and trained by Statistics SA visited the sampled dwelling units in each of the nine provinces. During the first phase of the survey, sampled dwelling units were visited and informed about the coming survey as part of the publicity campaign, which took place from 06 – 09 April 2010 and 31 May 2010 – 04 June 2010. Two hundred and thirty three (233) enumerators and 53 district coordinators participated in the survey. An additional 27 provincial quality monitors were responsible for monitoring and ensuring questionnaire quality. National training took place over a period of three days and district training was done one week later across all nine provinces for eight days.
