    Household Survey

    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 January to December 2014.

    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 2001 data were summarised at PSU level. The following variables were used for secondary stratification; household size, education, occupancy status, gender, industry and income.

    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. The final survey weights are constructed by calibrating the adjusted base weight to the known population counts at national and provincial levels, cross-classified by 5-year age groups, gender and race. The calibrated weights are constructed to ensure that all persons in a household have the same final weight (integrated weighting).
