• ► Outbound Tourism Statistics Presenter: UNWTO

• Defined as the tourism activity of a country’s residents outside its economic territory, outbound tourism can be observed in two ways, by taking the same approach as for either inbound tourism (that is, at or near the border, see paragraph 3.10), or domestic tourism (once the trip is concluded, using a household survey, see previous Section D). In the first case, adjustments might be required, since the object of observation, an outbound visit, might be part of either an outbound or a domestic trip. (3.141 IRTS CG)

• As in the case of inbound tourism, Balance of Payments compilers will be interested in establishing the characteristics of all resident outbound travel, and combining resources within an inter-institutional platform will foster quality measurement.(3.142)

• Points made with respect to inbound tourism – about the typology of modes of transport for entering or leaving a country (see Section C.1.1 Main Purpose), about complex conceptual and statistical issues arising in specific situations (see Section C.1.2 Types of tourism products) and about the main statistical sources used (see Section C.1.6 Types of accommodation) – are valid here as well. (3.145)

• If appropriate and feasible, countries could conduct observation procedures for outbound tourism both at the border and through household surveys, simultaneously, with the aim of comparing the results obtained in each case. Such exercises could provide some critical insight into the procedures used to measure outbound tourism. Big differences might be found, for instance, in the number of trips or in the measurement of outbound vs. inbound tourism, calling both procedures into question, as a possible basis for review. (3.146)

• As in the case of domestic tourism, and to a greater extent, outbound tourism may be particularly prevalent among specific segments of the population, as for instance those living near land borders, among residents of foreign origin or among families of emigrants, as well as other groups. It might be important, for the purposes of analysis or the adjustment of domestic tourism measurements in TSA terms, to observe those characteristics for different subsets of visitors within the reference population (IRTS 2008, 2.39. (c); and, TSA:RMF 2008, 4.39. Domestic tourism expenditure (see IRTS2008, para. 4.15 (a)) includes not only the expenditure of visitors on domestic trips, but also the expenditure within the economy of reference of visitors that undertake outbound trips.).
