Such information is crucial when determining the contribution of tourism to the South African economy, as well as helping with planning, marketing, policy formulation, and regulation of tourism-related activities.","analysis_unit":"Households and individuals","universe":"The target population is private households in all nine provinces of South Africa, and residents in workers' hostels.

This Master Sample is shared by the QLFS, General Household Survey (GHS), Living Conditions Survey (LCS), Domestic Tourism Survey (DTS), Income and Expenditure Survey (IES), and Victims of Crime Survey (VOCS).\n\nThe Master Sample used a two-staged, 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. Stratification was done in two stages: 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.","weight":"Sampling weights were constructed for the 12 reference months. These included both full sample and replicate weights for each of the 12 reference months. The full sample and replicate weights were calibrated using the population control totals for the cells defined by the cross-classification Age-Group x Population-Group x Gender at the national level, and broad Age-Groups at the province level. These are the same population control totals that are used for constructing the calibrated weights for the Quarterly Labour Force Survey and the other household surveys.","time_method":"Cross-section [cross section]","coll_mode":"Face-to-face computer-assisted interviews [CAPI]"}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conditions":"Use is under a Creative Commons BY attribution only license","cit_req":"Statistics South Africa.
