Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Sample and Frame
The sample is a two-stage stratified cluster random sample
Target Population
All the Palestinian households living within the Palestinian Territory
Sampling Frame
Sampling frame is a master sample from the Population, Housing and Establishment Census 1997. It consists of a list of enumeration areas, which were used as PSU's in the first stage of selection
Sampling Design
The sample of this survey is a sub-sample of Labour Force Survey (LFS) sample, that is conducted every 13 weeks. The total sample of LFS is about 7,627 households distributed over 13 weeks. The sample of the domestic Tourism Survey occupies 13 weeks of the first quarter 2005 of LFS
Stratification:
In designing the sample of LFS, four levels of stratification were made
Stratification by governorate
Stratification by place of residence which comprises
(a) Urban (b) Rural (c) Refugee camps
Stratification by locality size
Stratification by classifying localities, excluding governorate capitals, into three strata based on the ownership of households within these localities of durable goods

Response Rate
88.6% response rate
Weighting
The weight of statistical units (sampling unit) in the sample is defined as the mathematical inverse of the selection probability where the sample of the survey is two stage stratified cluster sample, so In the first stage, we calculate the weight of enumeration areas which depending on the probability of each enumeration area(a systematic random sample), then In the second stage we calculate weight of households in each enumeration area, Initial households weights resulted from product of weight of first stage and weight of second stage ,final households weights obtained after adjustment of initial weights with the households estimates mid 2005 on the level of design strata (governorate, locality type ) .

Data Collection Mode
Face-to-face [f2f]
Supervision
The field work team consisted of 24 members including one field work coordinator, 4 supervisors, 4 editors and 15 interviewers
Data Collection Notes
Fieldworkers were trained on the main skills before the start of data collection The interviewers were trained on the domestic Tourism Survey, by implementing the training course in Ramallah for West Bank trainees, and in Gaza for Gaza Strip trainees. Instructions for filling the questionnaire were made available for the interviewers The training provides the participant with aims and definitions of the different indicators and expressions of the survey and how to fill in the questionnaire

Data entryAt this stage, data was entered into the computer using a data entered template written in Access The data entry program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements such as
Duplication of the questionnaires on the computer screen
Logical and consistency check of data entered
Possibility for internal editing of question answers
Maintaining a minimum of digital data entry and fieldwork errors
User friendly handling
Possibility of transferring data into another format to be used and analyzed using other statistical analytic systems such as SPSS

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Sampling Errors
These types of errors evolved as a result of studying a part of the society and not all of it. For this survey, variance calculations were made for the purpose of Domestic trips specially in Gaza strip
Non Sampling Errors
These errors are due to non-response cases as well as the implementation of surveysIn this survey, these errors emerged because of (a) the special situation of the questionnaire itself which depends on type of estimation (b) diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editors, coders, data entry operator …etc)
