Tourism statistics in the European union - new challenges and demands on the official tourism statistics in Austria

Peter Laimer ; Austrian Central Statistical Office (OSTAT), Vienna, Austria

Abstract

Important information concerning Austrian tourism are based on accommodation and overnight stay statistics. Therefore the Commission of the European Union in collaboration with the EU and EFTA has prepared a project of a council Directive in order to develop a harmonized system for tourism statistics and a related information system at the European level. Concerning the implementation of the requirements of EU-Directive on Tourism Statistics, the
Austrian official tourism statistics is confronted with some problems which are found more on the organisational level than on the methodological one. This
especially concerns the increased periodicity regarding tourism demand surveys.

Keywords

Official Austrian tourism statistics; EU- Directive on Tourism Statistics; implementation of the EU-system regarding its requirements
