Survey on tourism

Objective

This survey looks at residents' leisure and business tourism practices. The questionnaire covers both overnight and non-overnight tourism, and looks at the characteristics of stays: country of destination, type of destination, length of stay, mode of accommodation and means of transport, amount spent, etc. Each respondent answers several series of questions on the leisure and business trips they have made during a quarter, as well as a few questions on day trips made during the same quarter.
