Where can I find the methodological description of the published tourism data?

For detailed information on the methodology and potential of the information available from the various statistical operations carried out by Statistics Portugal, it is recommended to consult the methodological documentation available under Products > Metadata System> Methodological Documentation> Theme: Tourism

Examples of statistical operations and links to the respective methodological documents:

Travel survey of residents

Guest stays and other data on hotel activity survey

Campers stays in camping sites survey

Holiday campers stays in holiday camps survey

It should also be noted that each indicator available in the Database contains the corresponding metadata, which can be accessed through the “Mi” icon associated with it in the “Indicators” column. In the metadata sheet, the description of the indicator contains a direct link to the Metadata System, providing access to the related objects available in the different modules of that System.

In addition to the indicators available in the Database, the statistical information disseminated in the publications, press release collections and thematic dossiers – Tourism Satellite Account is also accompanied by metadata, thus enabling a characterisation of its main technical and methodological aspects.
