• Sample sizes – TRA uses a sample size requirement of 40 to provide accurate estimates.
• Activities, accommodation and transport – Some questions asked in the International Visitor Survey and National Visitor Survey are asked about the entire trip, meaning that an answer cannot be attributed to one location, region or state. For example, even though a visitor reports a stop in Canberra, and a visit to the beach during the trip, it cannot be assumed that the visitor went to the beach in Canberra, as they may have had other stopovers that this activity occurred.
• Regional data – Data by region or SA2 level is not generally published in the quarterly publications. Local Government Area profiles are produced once a year for more detailed level data, and customised data requests are also available. Contact Statsline at tourism.research@tra.gov.au.
• Demographics – There is limited demographic data in the survey summary publications, however, the data are available through customised data requests.
