Executive Summary

E.0 Tourism in Maharashtra

India, a tourism hotspot in the world, has a large bouquet of tourist attractions to

boast of. Its widespread diversity has always attracted both foreigners as well as

its’ own citizens alike, to explore its mirth and gaiety that it has to offer the world.

The name Maharashtra first appeared in a 7th century inscription and in a Chinese

traveler's account. Its name may have originated from rathi, which means, "chariot

driver". At that age Maharashtra was full of builders and drivers of chariots who

formed a maharathis, a "fighting force." The state known for its sheer size and

diversity is located on the western part of the country. It has a varied landscape

bounded by the Western Ghats that stretch out into the mists as far as the eye can

see. The innumerous forts, that adorn the State, stands proud and strong,

depicting its historic past. Additionally scores of temples sculpted into and out of

basalt rock, throng the atmosphere. Its diverse and colorful cultures are all woven

into one gigantic quilt that represents the true nature of the State. The colorful

festivals of the State galvanise the sleepy thousands into fervent motion. And her

miles of silver, white beaches, stretched taut and inviting over the entire coast.

The exquisite Mashru and Himru crafts, Bidri Ware, Paithani Saris, Sawantwadi

Crafts, Warli Paintings, Kolhapuri Chappals draw immense tourists from various

corners of the country.

E.1 Research Aim

Aim of the proposed research would be to collect relevant tourist related statistics,

from the State of Maharashtra, which would enable analyzing subtle trends as well

as preparation of month wise and annual estimates separately for foreign and

domestic visitors –with a break –up of overnight tourists & same day visitors for the

selected tourist places.

E.2 Research Methodology


Final Report 3

The detailed methodology followed for estimating the total number of domestic and

foreign visitors and tourists to the state of Maharashtra from October 2011 till

March 2012 is given in the Annexure -1 of this report. The estimation procedure

used is given in detail in Annexure – 2 of this report. The Methodology, Estimation

Procedure and the survey instruments were developed by the Market Research

Division of Ministry of tourism, Government of India.

However, to briefly define the methodology, the various steps of the operational

methodology are given below:-

a. This study was conducted in 34 districts of Maharashtra and at 147

destinations of tourist interest

b. Selection of Tourist Destinations and Locations: Important destinations

of tourist attraction and their location in the district were selected in

consultation with the State Tourism Department

c. Survey Period: The field survey was conducted for a period of 12 months

(October 2011 till March 2012) at selected destinations. In a particular

month at a particular destination the survey was done for 7 days covering

two specified weeks. The details are available at Annexure-1

d. Survey Instruments: The survey instruments or questionnaires given at

Annexure - 3 covers three types of survey, namely, survey at destinations

(Short Survey), survey at exit point(s) (Exit Point Survey) and survey at

accommodation units (AUs) specified briefly below.

e. In total of 4 surveys were conducted for this study. They were:

� The Counting Survey: In this survey, head counts were taken at

each tourist destination in the state. This survey was conducted

every month from October 2011 till March 2012

� The Short Survey: In this survey, 800 tourists per district were

interviewed at each tourist location and information regarding

tourists’ duration of visit, place of stay, frequency of visit,

nationality/residence state, etc. was collected. This survey was

conducted every month from October 2011 till March 2012


Final Report 4

� The Accommodation Survey: In this survey, accommodation units

in the district were visited and information regarding number of

domestic and foreign guests staying, number of bed nights spent,

employee details and residency state/ country of guests was

collected. This survey was done every month from October 2011 till

March 2012

� The Exit Survey: In this survey, information regarding, background

of tourists, their expenditure, their place of stay, mode of traveling,

etc. were collected. This survey was conducted on a quarterly basis

and 200 tourists or visitors were interviewed per district each quarter

in this survey.

f. Data from all the above surveys were used to calculate the number of

tourists or visitors to the districts and hence to the state of Maharashtra.

E.3 Methodology for Estimation of Domestic and Foreign Tourists Visit at District Level 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 traveler 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.


Final Report 5

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. 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. 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.


Final Report 6

IV. Approach To meet the objectives, first the tourist destinations have to be identified before the start of the survey. Two possible variables 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 visitors not visiting any tourist destinations. To get these information surveys at important Entry/Exit Points of the district will be also conducted. The ratio obtained from 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 and multiplying it by the ratio of total urban population of the district to the total population of 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


Final Report 7

one – the most important – town will be identified with one tourist destination. Therefore, as per this methodology, the first stage in this survey will be the identification of towns important for tourism purposes. (ii) Selection of Tourist Destinations in the Selected Town All the tourist destinations in a selected town will be covered in the survey. In case the number of tourist destinations in the selected town is large, only the important ones will be covered in the survey.

Final Report for Maharashtra – Annexure-1: Methodology 85

ANNEXURE – 1

Methodology for Estimation of Domestic and Foreign Tourists Visit at District Level in India

I. Introduction Ministry of Tourism compiles data on domestic and foreign tourist visits in State/ UT 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. The methodology should also help in preparation of estimates of number of visitors for some period 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 will be initially used in the tourism surveys to be commissioned by the Ministry of Tourism in 5 states namely, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Punjab. The details of the methodology are given in the subsequent paragraphs. 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 traveler 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. 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. 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 variables 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 visitors not visiting any tourist destinations. To get these information surveys at important Entry/Exit Points of the district will be also conducted. The ratio obtained from 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 and multiplying it by the ratio of total urban population of the district to the total population of 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. Therefore, as per this methodology, the first stage in this survey will be the identification of towns important for tourism purposes.



(ii) Selection of Tourist Destinations in the Selected Town All the tourist destinations in a selected town will be covered in the survey. In case the number of tourist destinations in the selected town is large, only the important ones will be covered in the survey. (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 = Z 2

1-α/2 p(1-p)/d2

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 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 may be required on a monthly basis. (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 800 visitors will be distributed among the selected towns in proportion to the 2001 Census population of these towns. (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 will be substituted by the week/dates of the special event. (d) 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 non- ticketed tourist destinations. 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 variations 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 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 IV (A)(ii)(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 800 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 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: (ii) Classified hotels (iii) Other accommodation units

a. Having more than 20 rooms b. Having 10-20 rooms c. 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), 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. (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. To meet this objective, exit survey of the visitors at the major exit/ entry points of the district will be conducted to have information about the above mentioned categories of visitors as well as for detailed profiling of the visitors. In view of the fact that profiling 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 interview of 200 visitors every quarter in each district. As the information collected in the exit survey 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.


Final Report For Maharashtra – Annexure 2: Estimation Procedure 92

Annexure – 2: Estimation Procedure

I. Estimation from survey at Entry / Exit points in a Quarter From the survey at major entry/exit points of the district, we get the following: x DT – h-l = no. of domestic leisure visitors to the district in the sample at all exit points covered who stayed at hotels. x DT – h-nl = no. of domestic non-leisure visitors to the district in the sample at all exit points covered who stayed at hotels.

a DT – h-l = average no. of tourist destinations in the district visited by a domestic leisure tourist who stayed at a hotel based on the survey at exit points. Clearly, a DT – h-l ≥ 1 Similarly, we define x DT – f – l , x DT – f – nl, a DT – f – l for domestic tourists staying with Friends & Relatives x DT – o – l , x DT – o – nl, a DT – o – l for domestic tourists staying at other places x DS– l , x DS– nl, a DS – l for domestic same day visitors x FT– h - l , x FT–h-nl, a FT-h – l for foreign Tourist staying at hotels x FT– f - l , x FT–f-nl, a FT-f – l for foreign Tourist staying with friends and relatives x FT–o - l , x FT–o-nl, a FT-o – l for foreign tourists staying at other places x FS– l , x FS–nl, a FT – l for foreign same day visitors.

For special occasions like Kumbh Mela, Surajkund Mela etc., it would be advisable to work out average number of tourists per day on the respective destination, based on the sample days observed during the occasion (Mela) period and estimate the number of tourists in that destination for the occasion (Mela) by multiplying the average number of tourists per day by the number of Mela days. The estimates for non-Mela days may be obtained as usual and monthly estimates may be obtained by pooling number of tourists for Mela and non-Mela days. Case II: Destinations with common ticketing It may be observed that

i) iN is available

Exclusion of visitors for whom the destination is part of ‘usual environment’

In the case of a non-ticketed destination, the number of visitors, as recorded in the counting sheet, also includes persons for whom

the tourist destination is part of their ‘usual environment’. Such persons are not to be included for the estimation of number of visitors

in the current survey. However, it is not possible to distinguish such persons while filling up the counting sheet. The number of such

persons has to be assessed on the basis of the number of persons who are rejected for the short survey. For example, if 10 persons

are interviewed for the short survey in a day, the investigator may actually have contacted 30 persons, with 20 being rejected for

interview because the destination was part of their ‘usual environment’. Then the total number of visitors to the destination would be

assessed to be (10/30)*100% of the number available from the counting sheet.

Estimation for a month including a special tourist Event For each identified destination, the list of important tourist events for the whole year, along with the corresponding time period, should

be prepared in advance in consultation with the officials of State Tourism Departments.

The estimation of number of visitors for such destinations is outlined below with the help of an example:- Suppose that the tourist destination is an important temple attracting (i) a very high number of visitors on a particular day of the week (say Monday), every week, and (ii) an exceptionally high number of visitors during a special event spanning a period of, say, 9 days of November. The field work and estimation of number of visitors in the months other than November and in the month of November would be done in different ways. For the month of November The field work and surveys would be done for the following 3 categories of days:- (a) 9 days of the special event in November



(b) 3 (or 4) Mondays of November excluding the 9 days of the special event (c) 18 (or 17) remaining days of November For (a), field work for adequate number of days (may be 2 or 3 or 4) would be done. For (b), field work would be done on 1 Monday selected as per the procedure described in the methodology note. For (c), field work would be done for 2 or 3 or 4 days depending on the number of days of field work for category (a). The estimation of number of visitors at this destination would be done separately for the three categories of days. For a month other than November (say January) If there are any special events in January, the survey and estimation procedure would be as for November. If there are no such special events, the month would have the following two categories of days:- (a) 4 (or 5) Mondays (b) 27 (or 26) remaining days of the month The 7 days of the survey work would be selected as per the prescribed methodology (these will include 1 Monday). The estimation of number of visitors would be done separately for the above two categories of days.

III. Estimation of tourists for a town in a month Let the tourist destinations in uth town be numbered 1, 2,,………………t u . [Here, it may be noted that these destinations also include those that are not located in the town but are linked to the town from which the visitors visiting such destinations predominantly come from.] Let Mu = No. of visits by visitors to tourist destinations in the uth town in the month



Mu DT – h = No. of visits by domestic tourists staying in hotels to tourist destinations in the uth town in the month.

Similarly, we define Mu

IV. Estimation for a District in a month



Let Q = No. of visits by visitors at tourist destinations in all the surveyed towns (say u: 1, 2, …., t) in the district in the month. Q DT-h = No. of visits by domestic visitors at tourist destinations in all the surveyed towns in the district in the month who stayed in hotels. Similarly define Q DT-f, Q DT-o, Q DS, Q DT, Q D, Q FT-h, Q FT-f, Q FT-o, Q FS, QFT, QF Then, t t QDT - h = ∑ Mu

DT –h QFT - h = ∑ MuFT –h

u = 1 u = 1 t t QDT - f = ∑ Mu

DT –f QFT - f = ∑ MuFT –f

u = 1 u = 1 t t QDT - o = ∑ Mu

DT –o QFT - o = ∑ MuFT –o

u = 1 u = 1 t t QDS = ∑ Mu

DS QFS = ∑ MuFS

u = 1 u = 1 QDT = QDT – h + QDT - f + QDT – o QFT = QFT – h + QFT - f + QFT - o QD = QDT + QDS QF = QFT + QFS Q = Q D + Q F Let the population of all the surveyed towns in the district be P t Then P = ∑ pu

u = 1



Let the urban population of the district be P*. That is , if the surveyed towns are numbered 1,2,3,……….., t and the other towns in the district are numbered t +1, t +2,…………t + s, then t +s t t +s t +s Then P* = ∑ pu = ∑ pu + ∑ pu = P +∑ pu u = 1 u = 1 u = t + 1 u = t + 1 Let Q* = No. of visits by visitors at tourist destination in the district in the month Similarly define Q* DT-h , Q* DT-f , Q* DT-o , Q* DS , Q* DT , Q* D and Q* FT-h , Q* FT-f , Q* FT-o , Q* FS , Q* FT , Q* F

P* Then, Q* = Q X P P* Q * DT – h = Q DT – h X , and so on P Let Q # DT – h = No. of visitors who visited tourist destination in the district and stayed in hotels. Similarly define Q # DT – f, Q # DT – o, Q # DS

And Q # FT – h ,Q # FT – f, Q # FT – o, Q # FS

Then,

Q # DT – h = Q *DT – h / a DT – h - l Q # FT – h = Q *FT – h / a FT – h - l

Q # DT – f = Q *DT – f / a DT – f - l Q # FT – f = Q *FT – f / a FT – f - l

Q # DT – o = Q *DT – o / a DT – o - l Q # FT – o = Q *FT – o / a FT – o - l

Q # DS = Q *DS / a DS - l Q # FS = Q *FS / a FS - l



V. Estimation of total visitors in the district In the steps mentioned above, only leisure tourists (those visiting the destination) have been estimated. However, visitors also include the non-leisure tourists. Estimation of total number of visitors in a district will be done as follows. Let R = No. of visitors ( leisure + non- leisure) in the district Similarly define, R DT-h, R DT-f, R DT-o, RDS, RDT, RD and R FT-h, R FT-f, R FT-o, RFS, RFT, RF

x DT-h-l + x DT – h - nl Then R DT-h = X Q # DT-h x DT-h-l

Similarly estimate RDT- f, RDT-o, RDS and RFT-h, R FT-f, R FT-o, RFS R DT = RDT-h + R DT-f + R DT-o, RD = RDT + RDS R FT = RFT-h + R FT-f + R FT-o, RF = RFT + RFS R = RD + RF

VI. Estimation of visitors at the State level District level estimates are to be added to obtain the state level estimates.
