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 inbound tourism survey occupies 13 weeks of the first quarter 2006 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
Sample Unit
In the first stage, the sampling units are the enumerator areas (clusters) in the master sample. In the second stage, the sampling units are the households
The sample is a two-stage stratified cluster random sample

Sample Unit
In the first stage, the sampling units are the enumerator areas (clusters) in the master sample. In the second stage, the sampling units are the households
Response Rate
Response rate 88.6%
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 2009 on the level of design strata (governorate, locality type ) .

Data Collection Mode
Face-to-face [f2f]
Supervision
Field work teams were distributed to all districts proportional to the sample size of each governorate 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 Inbound 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 Processing
Data Editing
Data Processing
The data processing stage consisted of the following operations
Editing and coding before data entry All questionnaires were edited and coded in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the field
Data entry At 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 type of expenditure during the inbound visit, be careful when you want to use these values
Non Sampling Errors
These errors are due to non-response cases as well as the implementation of surveys In 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)
The sources of these errors can be summarized in
Some of the households were not in their houses and the interviewers couldn't meet them
Some of the households didn't show attention toward the questionnaire.
Some errors occurred due to the way the questions were asked by interviewers
Misunderstood of the questions by the respondents
Answering the questions related to consumption by making estimations
