Chapter 1 Introduction

1.0 About Tripura

Tripura is a state in North East India. The third-smallest state in the country, it

covers 10,491 km2 (4,051 sq mi) and is bordered by Bangladesh to the north, south, and

west, and the Indian states of Assam and Mizoram to the east. As of 2011, the state had

3,671,032 residents. The Kokborok-speaking Tripuri people are the major group among

19 tribes and many sub tribes. The area of modern Tripura was ruled for several centuries

by the Tripuri dynasty.

Tripura has only one major highway, the National Highway 44. Five mountain

ranges Boromura, Atharamura, Longtharai, Shakhan and Jampui Hills run north to south,

with intervening valleys Agartala, the capital, is located on a plain to the west. The state

has a tropical savanna climate, and receives seasonal heavy rains from the south west

monsoon. Forests cover more than half of the area, in which bamboo and cane tracts are

common. Tripura has the highest number of primate species found in any Indian state.

Due to its geographical isolation, economic progress in the state is hindered.

Mainstream Indian cultural elements, especially from Bengali culture, coexist

with traditional practices of the ethnic groups, such as various dances to celebrate

religious occasions, weddings and festivities; the use of locally crafted musical

instruments and clothes and the worship of regional deities. The sculptures at the

archaeological sites Unakoti, Pilak and Devtamura provide historical evidence of artistic

fusion between organized and tribal religions.

Appendix D: Methodology

I. Introduction

Ministry of Tourism compiles data on domestic and foreign tourist visits in States/ UTs based

on the information received from the State/ UT Governments. Such information at State/ UT

level is generally collected by State Tourism Departments on the basis of administrative

records and returns. In many cases, the information supplied does not cover the same-day

visitors, visitors staying with friends and relatives, etc. Doubts have been also expressed by

experts about the reliability of the data on domestic and foreign tourist visits released every

year.

A need was felt to prepare a standard methodology for estimation of number of visitors at

district level which can be used by the State/ UT Governments. This methodology should

enable the compilation of such data on monthly basis. In the absence of reliable state level

data, the methodology would necessarily have to include large scale survey. However, the

methodology should also help in preparation of estimates of number of visitors, for some

years after the base line survey, mainly based on the information to be collected from the

accommodation units, without resorting to regular large scale survey.

Keeping these requirements in view, a methodology has been prepared which was initially

used in the tourism surveys commissioned by the Ministry of Tourism in 5 states namely,

Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Punjab. Now the same methodology,

with some improvements, is being used in commissioning tourism surveys in the States of

Andaman & Nicobar, Meghalaya, Tripura, Tripura & West Bengal. The details of the

methodology are given in the subsequent paragraphs.


184 | P a g e

II. Definitions

The definitions of various terms to be used in the survey are given below.

Usual place of Residence:

The usual place of residence of a person is the village/ town where the person has been

staying continuously for at least 6 months prior to the date of the survey.

Usual Environment:

The usual environment refers to the geographical boundaries within which a person moves

within his/ her regular routine of life.

Trip:

A trip refers to the travel by a person from the time of departure from his usual environment

until he/ she returns. It, thus, refers to a round trip. A trip may be made up of visits to

different places.

Visitor:

A visitor is a traveller taking a trip to a main destination outside his/ her usual environment

for any main purpose (business, leisure or other personal purpose) other than to be employed

at the place visited.

Tourist:

A visitor is classified as a tourist if his/ her trip includes an overnight stay. A tourist is also

referred to as an overnight visitor.

Same-day visitor:

A visitor is classified as a same-day visitor if his/ her trip does not include an overnight stay.

A same-day visitor is also referred to as an excursionist.

Exclusion:

The same-day visitors at a tourist destination for whom the tourism destination is part

of their usual environment, are not considered same-day visitors for the purpose of this

survey.


185 | P a g e

Foreign Visitor:

A visitor having a foreign passport will be treated as a foreign visitor. Even a Non-Resident

Indian (NRI) will be treated as a foreign visitor. NRIs have Indian passports but may be

living, or are likely to live, in other countries for 6 months or more.

Domestic Visitor:

A visitor who is a resident Indian, will be treated as a domestic visitor.

Tourist Destination:

The tourist destinations would generally be as defined by the State in terms of geographical

area and tourist interest. A tourist destination should be a clearly identified area/ location. A

tourist location could be a ticketed closed area, non-ticketed closed area, or an open area

without clearly specified boundaries. It may be a location maintained by Central Govt., State

Govt., local body or any other organization, including those run by the private sector. A

tourist location may consist of more than one tourist spots. However, the following norms

should be adhered to for identifying a tourist location as a tourist destination:

(i) Each ticketed tourist location will be considered as one tourist destination irrespective of

the number of tourist spots at that location covered under the common ticket.

(ii) If there are 2 or more tourist spots within close proximity which are not ticketed, the

location would be considered to be a single destination if a visitor usually visits most or all

the spots in the same visit.

Town:

Definition of the town will be same as that used in 2001 Population Census of India.

Entry/Exit Point:

Entry/Exit Point of a District would be generally include all types of entry/ exit points such

as airports, railway stations, inter district bus terminals, etc. through which the visitors

generally enter or exit from the district.

III. Objective

The field survey in a State will be conducted for a period of 12 months in all

districts of the State. The survey will be used to obtain the following month-wise

information for each district:

a. Estimated number of visits

(i) Visits by overnight visitors- staying at accommodation units;

- staying with friends and relatives

- others, such as those staying in tented accommodations provided by State Govt.

or by any other charitable organizations, etc. (ii) Visits by same-day visitors

b. Profile of visitors, their expenditure pattern, purpose of visits, etc.

c. Occupancy rates and direct employment in accommodation units.

IV. Approach

To meet the objectives, first the tourist destinations have to be identified before the start of the survey.

Two possible variable studied for identification of the tourist destination were- number of tourists and

number of accommodation units. However, interaction of the consultant with the state authority

revealed that past data on number of tourists at various destinations are generally not available.

Similarly, the analysis of the unit level data of Economic Census 2005 revealed that data on number

of hotels below the district level are not available. Therefore, first towns important from tourist angle

have to be identified. All the tourist destinations in the identified towns will be covered in the survey.

In the identified towns two types of survey, namely Survey at tourist destination and Survey of

Accommodation units will be done. The survey of tourist destination will broadly provide the

estimate of tourists for leisure purpose, however, the purpose of the survey is to have an estimate of

tourists for all type of purposes such as visiting friends and relatives, business, etc. Similarly, the

Survey at tourist destination and at Accommodation unit will not provide information about the

visitors staying with friends and relatives and in accommodation units but not visiting any tourist

destination as well as same day visitors not visiting any tourist destinations. To get these information,

survey at important Entry/Exit Points of the district will be also conducted. The ratio obtained from


187 | P a g e

this exit survey will be used to find out the estimate of tourist for non-leisure purposes. However, this

adjustment will be done only at district level.

The district level estimates will be worked out by adding the leisure tourists at all the towns covered

in the survey. The estimate of non-leisure tourists will be worked out from the data of exit survey

and added to the estimate of leisure tourists to find out the district level estimate of visitors. The state

level estimate of visitors (tourists and same day visitors) will be worked out by adding the district

level estimates of visitors.

V. Methodology

The methodology envisages three stage sampling. The first stage units will be the towns

important from tourism perspective, the second stage units will be the tourist destinations in

the selected town or linked to the selected town, and the visitors within a tourist destination

will constitute the third stage units. The procedure for selection of first, second and third

stage units are given below:

(i) Selection of Towns important for Tourism

In the absence of reliable information about the number of tourists or accommodation units at

tourist destination, towns which are important from tourism perspective, will be identified in

each district in consultation with the State Government. Apart from such towns, the towns

which cater to the accommodation needs of visitors to important tourist destinations located

in non-urban areas will also be identified. For the latter cases, only one – the most important

– town will be identified with one tourist destination.

(ii) Selection of Tourist Destinations in the Selected Town

If the number of tourist destinations in a selected town is 5 or less then all the destinations

will be covered in the survey. In case the number of tourist destinations in a selected town is

more than 5, then the total number of destinations has to be more than 5, exact number will

be decided in consultation with State Government.


188 | P a g e

(iii) Selection of Visitors at a Tourist Destination for brief profiling

(a) Sample size of visitors at district level

The sample is required for estimating the number of visitors at district level from the data

collected at destination/spot level. Statistically, the sample size may be obtained from the

following expression, n = Z21-α/2 p(1-p)/d

2

where p= anticipated proportion to be estimated

100(1- α /2)% is the confidence level and

d=absolute precision required on either side in the proportion in percentage points

(a) Statistically, we require a sample size of about 400 respondents (384 to be exact) to get

estimate of a parameter with a precision of 5% points and 95% level of confidence. As

the data is required on monthly basis this sample size is required on a monthly basis. For

the proposed survey, however, the sample size will be 600 per month. If in certain

months these numbers are not available, the shortfall should be covered in next month. If

a particular district is not important from tourism perspective and the sample size of 600

tourists is not likely to be available for the survey, then some portion of this sample size

will be allocated to other districts having larger no. of tourists. This redistribution must

be done in consultation with MOT after 2 months of the launch of the survey.

(b) At State level, the sample size of 600 x no. of Districts for the survey at Tourist

Destinations has to be maintained.

(iv) Distribution of Sample Size in Towns and at Tourist Destinations

(a) Distribution of sample size amongst selected towns in a district: The district sample size

of 600 visitors will be distributed among the selected towns in proportion to the 2001

Census population of these towns. In a few cases, it may so happen that the town

population is small but it attracts a large number of visitors. In such cases, some

reallocation of sample size among towns may be required.


189 | P a g e

(b) Distribution of sample size among tourist destinations in a selected town: If there are

more than one tourist destinations in a selected town, the sample size allocated for the

town will be equally distributed among the tourist destinations.

(c) Selection of days for survey of visitors in different months:

The survey will be conducted during all the 12 months of the year at each selected

destination. Information about important festivals, fairs, religious events at the selected

tourist destinations will be collected in advance for the 12-month period. In a particular

month at a particular destination, survey will be done during 2 weeks. In the first week,

first 3 days of the week will be covered, and in the second week last 4 days of the week

will be covered. For this purpose, first day of the month will be considered as the first

day of the week. The dates of survey at a tourist destination during the 12 months will be

as follows.

Month Weeks Days of weeks Dates of the month

First First and Third 1st week: 1-3 days

3rd week: 4-7 days 1,2,3,18,19,20,21

Second Second and Fourth 2nd week: 1-3 days

4th week: 4-7 days 8,9,10, 25,26,27,28

Third First and Fourth 1st

week: 1-3 days

4th week: 4-7 days

1,2,3,25,26,27,28

Fourth Second and Third 2nd week: 1-3 days

3rd week: 4-7 days 8,9,10,18,19,20,21

Fifth First and Second 1st week: 1-3 days

2nd week: 4-7 days

1,2,3,11,12,13,14

Sixth Third and Fourth 3rd week: 1-3 days

4th week: 4-7 days

15,16,17, 25,26,27,28

Seventh to Twelve

Above pattern will be repeated

The date and week on which important tourism event is scheduled to take place at the

selected tourist destination will be positively covered. If the important tourist event at the

selected tourist destination falls outside the selected week and dates, the nearest week/dates


190 | P a g e

will be substituted by the week/dates of the special event. The sample size allocated for each

month should be captured. However if at some districts shortfall in the sample size is found

to be of serious nature the same may be brought immediately to the notice of MOT for

corrective action.

Generally, the Time Slots for the survey at a destination should be such that these cover the

varying visitor traffic pattern. For example at some religious places visitors visit the

destination in early morning and/ or late evening. Similarly fairs and festivals may draw large

number of visitors during late hours in the evening. Time slots of the survey at each

destination should be devised in a manner so as to capture the variations in visitor inflow.

(e) Canvassing of schedules to the visitors for brief profile

The monthly sample size of visitors at a selected tourist destination should be distributed

equally on the 7 days of the survey work (in 2 weeks) at the destination. The services of 2

investigators would be required on the selected days at a non- ticketed tourist destination.

The first investigator will basically count the number of visitors and second investigator will

canvass the schedule to seek the information about overnight/ same -day visitors, domestic/

foreign visitors, etc. At a ticketed tourist destinations perhaps one investigator will be able to

canvass the schedule because counting of the visitors may not be required.

(v) Details of the Surveys

(A) Survey at Tourist Destinations

A survey of visitors at tourist destinations has to be done to obtain the following information:

(a) Total number of visits

(i) Ticketed Destinations:- If the tourist destination is a ticketed destination with differential

pricing for domestic and foreign visitors, the data on number of foreign and domestic visits

separately during any day would be available from sale record of tickets. If the destination

has common ticket for both domestic and foreign visitors, then an assessment of the

distribution of visits by domestic and foreign visitors would have to be made by counting the

visitors at the entry point(s). To capture the variation s in visitors’ number on different days

of the week as well as at different time periods of a day, this exercise would have to be


191 | P a g e

carried out at different periods of time of the day, and on different days of the week. Many

destinations attract large number of visitors during specific periods of the year, such as

Kumbh Mela, Suraj Kund Mela, etc. Such periods should be identified in advance, and the

survey should cover such specific periods.

(ii) Non-Ticketed Destinations:- In such cases, the total number of visitors, during the day,

along with its break-up into domestic and foreign visitors, has to be assessed by counting the

number of such visitors at specified time slot at entry point (s). If there are more than one

entry points to the tourist destination, all should be covered by pre-specified rotation, for

counting the number and broad distribution. If there is no specific entry point, investigator

will have to notionally designate appropriate points as entry points based on the flow of

visitors to such a destination.

(b) Brief Profile of Visitors

Break-up of number of visitors into overnight visitors staying at accommodation units,

overnight visitors staying with friends and relatives, other overnight visitors, and the same-

day visitors, separately for domestic and foreign visitors, has to be obtained. For this, a small

questionnaire, comprising 5 -6 questions, has to be canvassed. As getting this information is

the prime objective of the survey, the sample size should be adequate to provide the desired

breakup of different type of visits.

In para V(iii)(a), the desired sample size at district level has been worked out to be 400

visitors. However, it has been decided that the number of visitors to be selected for this short

profile survey will be 600 per district per month.

(B) Survey of Accommodation Units

All the accommodation units (hotels, tourist lodges, dharamshalas, motels, Govt./ private

companies, guest houses, etc.) in the selected towns will be listed with the help of Municipal

Corporations or other competent authorities. If a tourist destination not located in the town is

linked to a non-urban tourist destination in terms of providing accommodation facilities to


192 | P a g e

tourists visiting that destination, the list of additional accommodation units located near such

tourist destinations will also be included in the list of accommodation units of the town.

The accommodation units so listed will be grouped in the following categories:

(a) Classified hotels

(b) Other accommodation units-

I. Having more than 20 rooms

II. Having 10-20 rooms

II. Having less than 10 rooms

From all the selected accommodation units, the following 2 types of information will be

collected:

(i) Particulars of the accommodation unit- Apart from the identification details, the

information would be collected on number of rooms, number of beds, total number of

persons employed, annual turnover, etc. This information would be collected initially, and

thereafter updated every quarter along with the updating of the list of accommodation units.

(ii) Information about overnight visitors- Based on the records available with the

accommodation units, information on number of guests checked-in, number of nights spent,

whether domestic or foreign, residency status of the tourists (within the state, within country,

outside country), purpose of their visit etc. would be collected. This information has to be

collected every month for the preceding month.

All the classified hotels would be covered for collecting both the information. For the

remaining 3 categories of accommodation units, 10% of the units in each will be covered.

These 10% accommodation units will be selected by using circular systematic sampling

method.

In metropolitan cities, list of all the accommodation units will have to be prepared for the

survey work.

For collecting information about the number of visitors and their other details as well as

information about the accommodation units for a particular month, the selected

accommodation units will be visited in the 1st week of the succeeding month.


193 | P a g e

(C) Survey at Entry/Exit Points of the district

The survey at the tourist destinations will not be able to capture the following categories of

visitors:

(a) visitors staying with friends and relatives and not visiting any tourist destination;

(b) visitors staying in accommodation units but not visiting any tourist destination; (c) same

day visitors not visiting any tourist destination

For having an idea about the total number of visitors in the district, information about visitors

collected at tourist destinations has to be supplemented by information on the above

categories of visitors. Exit survey of the visitors at the major exit/ entry points of the district

will provide information about the above mentioned categories of visitors, as well as help in

obtaining detailed profile of the visitors. If the district has an exceptionally important

destination drawing a large no. of visitors, (such as Tirupati in Chittoor District of Andhra

Pradesh) then such a destination should be treated as a separate notional district and tourism

survey activities (involving destination survey, exit survey and accommodation survey) have

to be planned and executed there accordingly. Before the exit survey is started the exit points

for each district have to be intimated to the MOT. In view of the fact that the profile of the

visitors is not likely to change over a short time interval, profile of visitors will be generated

only at district level on quarterly basis. The requirement of the sample size for this exercise

would also be less. It has been decided to conduct the interviews of 400 visitors every quarter

in each district for the exit survey. Ideally the sample size should be equally distributed

among domestic and foreign visitors however, in places where foreign visitors, are not

available throughout the month the sample size allocated for them should be allocated to

domestic visitors.

As the information collected in the exit survey is to be used for estimating the number of

non-leisure visitors in the district, the exit survey will be conducted only in the first month of

the quarter so that its result can be used for the three months of the quarter. All the four

weeks as well as the days (week days and weekends) in a month should be covered on

representative basis.


194 | P a g e

During the 1st Quarter the distribution of sample size should be as follows:

Exit Weeks Days Dates of the month Sample Size

1 1st

week 1-3 1,2,3 50

2 2nd

week 4-7 11, 12, 13, 14 50

3 3rd

week 1-3 15, 16, 17 50

4 4th

week 4-7 25, 26, 27, 28 50

The remaining sample of 200 should be distributed accordingly based on the secondary

information about the flow of travelers’ traffic.

For the remaining 3 quarters the sample size should be reallocated among the week days as

per the experience of daily tourist flow in the 1st quarter.

The sample size allocated for each quarter should be captured. However if at some districts

shortfall in the sample size is found to be of serious nature the same may be brought

immediately to the notice of MOT for corrective action.

Consultant cannot reduce the sample size on their own.

Conduct of exit survey should be avoided during periods when some part of the district

attracts disproportionately large number of visitors, such as periods of fairs, festivals or

events of religious or business importance.

As the monthly data of visitors will be required by the State/ UT Governments in future also

the outcome of this survey will be utilized in the following manner by the State/ UT

Governments.

(a) States currently being covered in the survey:

The list of accommodation units in the selected tourist destinations in these States/UTs

compiled by the consultant will be made available to the State/ UT Governments. After the

completion of the survey, State/ UT Governments may update this list on a regular basis. The

information about distribution of various categories of visitors obtained from the current

survey will be appropriately combined with the information on number of visitors staying in

accommodation units to estimate total number of visitors in the district in subsequent periods.

(b) States/ UTs not being covered in the survey:

The baseline survey of the type described in this note may have to be conducted in other

States and the suggested methodology would be used to prepare the monthly estimates of

visitors.
