SESSION 4: OUR NEXT TRIP … WHERE DO TOURISM STATISTICS WANT TO TRAVEL, HOW AND WHEN?
FUTURE ORIENTATIONS:
– Assessment of strengths and weaknesses of current European statistics on tourism: how to balance user needs and producers’ constraints? – How to fulfil existing and new user needs with the help of unconventional sources and methods? – How to combine and integrate such sources and methods in a multi-source and multi-disciplinary statistical production process? – How to translate a world where statistical offices rely increasingly on external data sources into a legal framework for a statistical domain: common methodologies and harmonisation as a strength for reaching comparable high-quality output?
