| Description |
Tourism statistics are traditionally considered to be an important field of official statistics, serving as a significant input in economic and market analysis of the tourism sector in Palestine.
The Palestinian Territory is an attractive area for tourists due to the presence of many valued religious and historical sites. The tourism sector is one of the leading sectors in the Palestinian economy and makes a significant contribution to GDP. For this reason, PCBS established a statistical program to supervise and implement the production of reliable and timely statistics on the main indicators of tourism activity. This program began in 1995 with the implementation of the hotel survey in order to provide periodic data on accommodation statistics.
PCBS is pleased to introduce this report on the Domestic and Outbound Tourism Survey 2010 as an additional component of tourism statistics on internal tourism. The main objective of this survey is to provide basic information about the demand aspect of tourism for use in the Tourism Satellite Accounts system in the Palestinian Territory.
This report provides statistical data on domestic and outbound tourism, including expenditure during trips to tourist resorts, trips conducted by households, destination countries, and the facilities and services available in the resorts visited by resident households in the Palestinian Territory.
PCBS hopes that this report will provide national governmental institutions, nongovernmental organizations, and research institutes in the Palestinian Territory with statistical data needed for planning and developing the tourism sector in Palestine. |
