Purpose

To establish information on the patterns and characteristics of visitor behaviour and to provide a measure of the economic impact of tourism to the Australian Capital Territory.

Description

The Canberra Visitors Survey is a destination-based survey using a venue-based methodology. Interviews are carried out at points of high concentration of visitors. These include face-to-face interviews at Canberra Airport and selected attractions, and self-completion questionnaires at hotels and motels. Household surveys are also conducted by telephone to measure the visiting friends and relatives market.

The sample consists of about 360 interviews per year at Canberra airport, 2,880 interviews per year at selected attractions, 200 self-completion questionnaires per year in hotels/motels and 960 telephone interviews per year in Canberra households.
