5. Background
The awareness of the economic importance of domestic tourism has grown significantly in recent years.
Even though many countries have left the statistical measurement of domestic tourism to a further stage, its economic contribution, as the TSA exercise has frequently shown, is often more important than that of inbound tourism.

6. Domestic tourism
Domestic tourism, which comprises the activities of a resident visitor within the country of reference either as part of a domestic trip or part of an outbound trip;
From the perspective of the country of reference, a domestic traveller qualifies as a domestic visitor if: (i) he/she is on a tourism trip and (ii) he/she is a resident travelling in the country of reference
There is no definition recommended by UNWTO related domestic visitors.

7. Domestic tourism (1)
However, UNWTO gives guideline and countries should define domestic visitors inline with the visitor definition recommended
The differences among countries in defining domestic visitors are mainly in defining usual environment
As recommendation of UNWTO, regarding to the usual environment, countries consider four criteria:
Frequency of the trip;
Duration of the trip;
The crossing of administrative or national borders; and
Distance from the place of usual residence.

9. Domestic Tourism Data Collection
3 ways can be used to collect domestic visitors data:
Guest of accommodation, weakness:
Not all citizen are resident
Not all foreigner are non-resident
People staying in several accommodation report more than one (double counting)
People not staying in accommodation are not counted
Attraction establishment visitors, weakness:
People not visiting attraction establishment are not counted
People visiting several attraction establishments report more than one (double counting)
Not all visitors of attraction establishment are resident

10. Domestic Tourism Data Collection (1)
3 ways can be used to collect domestic visitors data:
Household survey approach:
This method dianggap yang paling tepat karena bisa menutupi kelemahan 2 cara sebelumnya
Weakness: harus dilakukan secara nasional untuk mengetahui asal wisnus secara menyeluruh

11. Measuring flow and characteristics of dom visitors
For domestic tourism, guidance will be provided for measurements to:
identify out of the total population those residents having travelled within the country one or more times during the reference period;
identify domestic tourism trips from other domestic trips, including outbound trips and outbound visits as part of domestic trips;
identify tourism trips and characterize them according to:
duration;
main purpose;
modes of transport;
types of accommodation used; and
other characteristics

12. Measuring flow and characteristics … (1)
Because there are no international borders to cross, the observation of the flows of domestic tourism requires the use of different statistical procedures.
Information of domestic tourism will be obtained mainly through:
surveying individuals selected directly (mostly likely through telephone interviews);
using household surveys either as modules attached to more general multipurpose household surveys or as specific surveys; and
as in the case of inbound tourism, surveys at accommodation establishments and at tourism attractions might also be used but will likely observe legs/fractions of a tourism trip (rather than an entire round trip).

13. Measuring flow and characteristics … (2)
Household surveys based on a stratified sample using spatial, demographic and socio-economic criteria can be efficient and suitable instruments for measuring domestic tourism activity and related expenditure.
Sample size and design are strongly related to the significance and accuracy of the variables to be estimated.
Two different issues need to be taken into consideration when designing domestic surveys to analyse tourism: the unequal distribution of tourism over the national territory and the high degree of heterogeneity of the population in terms of its tourism behaviour.

14. Measuring flow and characteristics … (3)
If lacking household surveys, countries should try for the time being to use supply-side accommodation data to estimate, at least, the number of resident visitors staying at market establishments providing accommodation services.
However, this method is unreliable in countries where most of domestic flows are same-day visitors and where most of domestic tourists do not use commercial accommodation which is the case in many countries.

16. Indonesia Domestic visitors
Domestic tourism is a trip by Indonesian resident in Indonesia territory:
Less than 6 months
Other than to work with resident entity/go to school
To visit commercial attraction establishment, or
To stay in commercial accommodation, or
Distance of trip 100 km or more

18. Indonesia Domestic Tourism Statistics
Main source in compiling the number of trips by domestic visitors is household survey, called as National Sosio-economic Survey (Susenas)
There are several changes regarding periode of survey
Before 2011, survey was conducted once a year, quarterly, since 2015 has been conducted twice a year
The characteristics of domestic trips and visitors have been established through questions on the Supplement Survey (VRTJ) conducted by Ministry of Tourism and BPS

19. Variables on Domestic Tourism Survey
Demography (sex, age, civil status, occupation)
The destination or place visited
The places visited during trip
Type of accommodation
Main mode of transport used
Main purpose of trip
Duration of trip
Expenditure
