Domestic Tourism Survey (DTS) 2012 is currently in the field until the end June 2012. A Stats SA fieldworker could be knocking on your door to complete a questionnaire.
The DTS is a large-scale household survey aimed at collecting accurate statistics on the travel behaviour and expenditure of residents of South Africa travelling within the borders of South Africa. Such information is crucial in 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.
The key objective of the DTS is to understand the travel behaviour of an average South African resident. Hence, this would include collecting information on:
Domestic day and overnight trips undertaken;
Trips by respondents and trips by other household members without the respondent accompanying them;
Profile of the most recent day/overnight domestic trips both by the respondent and other household members (destinations, trip length, purpose of visit, accommodation, transport, activities, trip expenditure, etc.); and
The data and metadata for the Victims of crime survey 2011(VOCS 2011) are now available on StatsOnline and can be downloaded free of charge. For downloads click 'interactive data' , and then 'Nesstar'.
This calculator allows you to capture
your own expenditure as a basis for your personal 'weights'.
The price changes as used
in the official CPI are then used to calculate your personal inflation rate. This rate will
differ from the official CPI as the weights of the CPI are based on the total expenditure of
all households in the country.
