The 2004 Tanzania Tourism Sector Survey
Posted: Friday February 22, 2008 10:28 PM BT
We are delighted to introduce the 2004 Tanzania Tourism Sector Survey (TTSS) Report produced by the multi institutional committee comprising the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism (MNRT), Bank of Tanzania (BOT), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Immigration Department and the Zanzibar Commission for Tourism (ZCT). The report follows the maiden report of 2001.
The primary objective of the survey was to collect up-to date tourist expenditure information for use in the "Tourist Expenditure Model" developed in 2001. The Model was developed for use as a tool for estimation of international tourism receipts needed in the compilation of, inter alia, National Accounts (NA) and Balance of Payments (BoP) statistics. These statistics are used by the public and private sectors for policy formulation and strategic business planning, respectively.
In recent years, tourism has been one of the sectors that has been growing fast in Tanzania. In order to have reliable information on its contribution to the economy, in 2001 the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism (MNRT), Bank of Tanzania (BOT), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Immigration Department and Zanzibar Commission for Tourism (ZCT) decided to carry out the Tourism Sector Survey. One of the recommendations made in the 2001 survey report was to carry out shorter surveys on an annual basis in order to obtain up-to-date price information. The annual survey was carried out between September and October 2004 in order to obtain new price information for estimating tourist earnings in 2004. The survey was carried out at four exit points, namely Dar es Salaam International Airport (DIA) which is currently known as J. K. Nyerere International Airport (JKNIA), Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA), Namanga (NAM) and Zanzibar Airport (ZAA). OBJECTIVES OF THE SURVEY - To provide an up-to-date price information for estimating tourist expenditure in Tanzania in order to improve compilation of the National Accounts and Balance of Payments (BOP) statistics. - To collect information for tourism promotion and macroeconomic policy formulation.
