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 2
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

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 4
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 5
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 6
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.

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.
Final Report for Maharashtra Annexure-1: Methodology 85

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,
2 2
n = Z 1-/2 p(1-p)/d
Where p= anticipated proportion to be estimated
100(1- /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

1st week: 1-3 days
First First and Third 3rd week: 4-7 days 1,2,3,18,19,20,21

2nd week: 1-3 days

Second Second and Fourth 4th week: 4-7 days 8,9,10, 25,26,27,28
1st week: 1-3 days
Third First and Fourth 4th week: 4-7 days 1,2,3,25,26,27,28
2nd week: 1-3 days
Fourth Second and Third 3rd week: 4-7 days 8,9,10,18,19,20,21
1st week: 1-3 days
Fifth First and Second 2nd week: 4-7 days 1,2,3,11,12,13,14
3rd week: 1-3 days
Sixth Third and Fourth 4th week: 4-7 days 15,16,17,25,26,27,28
Seventh to Above pattern will
Twelve 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.

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 FTh-nl, a FT-h l for foreign Tourist staying at hotels
x FT f - l , x FTf-nl, a FT-f l for foreign Tourist staying with friends and relatives
x FTo - l , x FTo-nl, a FT-o l for foreign tourists staying at other places
x FS l , x FSnl, a FT l for foreign same day visitors.

= NiDT + Ni DS + Ni FT + Ni FS
From the survey at the destination, following distribution is available:

Domestic Foreign
DT h
n i niFT h
niDT f niFT f
niDT o niFT o
niDS niFS
The estimation of number of visits at the three distinct types of destinations will be as follows:
Case I: Non-ticketed destinations
In this case, it may be observed that

i) N i is not available;
ii) N iD (s ) and N iF (s ) are to be estimated by a count of visitors;
iii) An estimate of N i is given by
[ ]
N i = N iD (s) + N iF (s) x(No. of days in the month/ di ); (di = 7)
D F
iv) Estimates of N i and N i are given by
N iD = N iD (s ) X 31* / 7
N iF = N iF (s ) X 31* / 7
* Number of days in the surveyed month
v) Estimates for tourists and same day visitors will be obtained as

n DT h n FT h
N iDT h = i D .N iD N iFT h = i F .N iF
ni ni
n DT f D n FT f F
N iDT f = i D .N i N iFT f = i F .N i
ni ni
DT o niDT o D FT o niFT o F
N i = D . N i N i = F .N i
ni ni
n DS D n FS
N iDS = i D . N i N iFS = i F .N iF
ni ni
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) N i is available
ii) N iD (s) and N iF (s) are to be estimated by a count of visitors.
D F D DT h DT f DT o
iii) Steps (iv) and (v) of case I are to be followed. First divide N i into N i and N i , and then N i into N i , Ni , Ni
DS F FT h FT f FT o FS
and N i , and N i into N i , Ni , Ni and N i respectively.
Case III: Destinations with differential ticketing

In this case,
i) N i , N iD and N iF are available.
ii) N iD and N iF will be split as in step (V) of case I
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 DT-f. Mu DT-o , Mu DS, Mu DT, Mu D, and Mu FT-h, Mu FT-f, Mu FT-o, Mu FS, Mu FT, Mu F
Then,
tu tu
MuDT - h = NiDT h MuFT - h = NiFT h
i=1 i=1
tu tu
MuDT - f = NiDT f MuFT - f = NiFT f
i=1 i=1
tu tu
MuDT - o = NiDT o MuFT - o = NiFT -o

i=1 i=1
MuDT = MuDT h + MuDT - f + MuDT o MuFT = MuFT h + MuFT - f + MuFT - o
tu tu
MuDS = NiDS MuFS = NiFS
i=1 i=1
MuD = MuDT + MuDS MuF = MuFT + MuFS
Mu = Mu D + Mu F
Let the population of the town u be pu
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
DT - h
Q = MuDT h Q FT - h
= MuFT h
u=1 u=1
t t
QDT - f = MuDT f QFT - f = MuFT f
u=1 u=1
t t
QDT - o = MuDT o QFT - o = MuFT o
u=1 u=1
t t
QDS = MuDS 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 =QD+QF
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
DT-h
Then R = X Q # DT-h
DT-h-l
x
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.
