This collection covers national tourism. Data is collected by the competent national authorities of the Member States and is compiled according to a harmonized methodology established by EU regulations before transmission to Eurostat. Most of the time, data on domestic and outbound trips (where "outbound tourism" means residents of a country travelling in another country) is collected via sample surveys. However, in a few cases the data are compiled from border surveys. Surveys are generally conducted on a monthly or quarterly basis.
The Data of this Statistic is extracted from Eurostat using the code: TOUR_DEM_TTPUR
