2. Trinidad and Tobago has completed Table 1 and Table 2 and partially completed Table 3, Table 4 and Table 10. Table 1- Inbound Tourism by products and classes of visitors, year 2010 Table 2- Domestic Tourism expenditure by products, classes of visitors and types of trips, year 2010. Table 3 – Outbound Tourism expenditure by products and classes of visitors Table 4 – Internal Tourism consumption by products Table 10 – Non-monetary indicators 2

3. TABLE 1 3

4. TABLE 1 - Inbound tourism Methodology  In 2010 380,396 visitors came to our shores.  In 2010 visitor expenditure was significantly less than in other years, since the Visitor Expenditure Survey (VES) was conducted 3 times by the CSO and not 6 times as usual. 4

5. TABLE 1 –Inbound Tourism Methodology Expenditure for 2010 was determined as: 2010 average expenditure x 2010 total visitors i.e TT6257 x 380,396. = Total visitor expenditure of TT$ 2,482,844,692 5

6. TABLE 1 –Inbound Tourism Methodology  Accommodation and meals were recorded as a composite value. The 2010 VES was used to devise ratios to disaggregate the value.  A ratio of 81% was used for accommodation and 19% was used for food and beverage serving services based on the contribution of food and accommodation to hotel GDP. 6

8. TABLE 2 8

9. TABLE 2: Domestic Tourism Methodology  In 2011, Trinidad and Tobago held its first domestic tourism survey. Survey sample of 1200 households in both Trinidad and Tobago.  The survey sought to gather expenditure incurred in 2010 on Domestic Trips – (Overnight Visitors, Same day Visitors) Outbound Trips -(Overnight visitors, Same day visitors) 9

10. TABLE 2: Domestic Tourism Methodology Results from the survey was then weighted and multiplied by the number of households in Trinidad and Tobago to provide estimated expenditures for the entire population. 10

11. TABLE 2: Domestic Tourism Concepts Usual environment: In determining the usual environment for domestic tourism in Trinidad and Tobago the following criteria was used:  Municipal Corporations and or Communities  Frequency of Travel 11

12. TABLE 2: Domestic Tourism Concepts  Inbound Tourism – Non resident visitors  Domestic Tourism- Residents travelling within and between Trinidad and Tobago  Outbound Tourism- Residents travelling to another country 12

13. TABLE 2: Domestic Tourism Concepts Trinidad and Tobago’s Tourism Characteristic products  Accommodation services  Food and Beverage Serving services  Road Passenger transport  Air Transport – Flights between Trinidad & Tobago  Water Transport - Inter Island water ferry 13

14. 2010 DOMESTIC SURVEY 14

15. COMPILATION CHALLENGES  There were various issues with regards to the design of the survey instrument which led to challenges when compiling the data under TSA RMF 2008.  Specifically in the compilation of Domestic Trips and the Outbound Trips sections of Table 2. 15

16. DOMESTIC TRIPS- Overnight Visitors Some tourism products and services were misclassified and others were omitted in the 2010 survey instrument, under the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC), Rev. 4. They were 1. Cultural and the Sports and Recreational services. 2. Travel Agencies and other reservation services. 16

17. DOMESTIC TRIPS -Overnight Visitors 1. Misclassification of cultural and sports and recreational services  Components of the Cultural and Sports and Recreational Services were singled out as a Main Purpose of Visit. Also, certain classes of these activities were omitted.  Components in Main purpose of visit include Visiting Friends and RelativesLeisure/Relaxation BusinessConcert/Plays/Shows HoneymoonConference/Convention/Retreat Attending a Family OccasionA sporting event Religious/ Cultural FunctionOther “Specify” 17

18. DOMESTIC TRIPS-Overnight Visitors 2. Omission of Travel Agencies and other reservation services Travel agencies and reservation services were also not included in the survey instrument due to human error. 18

19. DOMESTIC TRIPS Same Day Visitors Questions regarding same day visitors (day trips) did not follow the requirement for Table 2 under TSA-RMF 2008. 1. Tourism Characteristic products were listed as a main purpose of visit and listed items were not grouped or classified according to ISIC, Rev 4. 2. Some items listed as a Main Purpose of Visit in Day Trips were not listed as a Purpose of Visit for Overnight Trips making the horizontal summation of Table 2 more difficult. 19

20. DOMESTIC TRIPS - Same day visitors 1. Misclassification of tourism characteristic products and activities SightseeingBeach/River Lime Concerts/Plays/ShowsVisiting/Friends/Relatives HikingShopping Conference/Convention/Retreat Fine Dining A sporting eventReligious/Cultural Events Sailing/ Watersports Other: “Specify” ___ Tourism characteristic products were listed as a Main POV 20

21. DOMESTIC TRIPS -Same day visitors 2. Difficult to sum with overnight trips due to different main purposes of visit. OVERNIGHT TRIPSDAY TRIPS Visiting Friends and Relatives Concert/Plays/ShowsConcerts/Plays/Shows Conference/Convention/Retreat Religious/ Cultural FunctionReligious/Cultural Events A sporting event Other “Specify” Other: “Specify” ___ Leisure/RelaxationBeach/River Lime BusinessSightseeing HoneymoonShopping Attending a Family Occasion Fine Dining Sailing and Watersports 21

22. DOMESTIC TRIPS Outbound Trips  Only total figures for pre, and post trip expenditures were recorded for Domestic Outbound Trips  (Domestic) Outbound (Table 2) Pre Trip = TTD 506,937,819.47 Post Trip= TTD 122,037,364.94 Total Domestic Outbound = TTD 628,975,184.41 22

23. TABLE 2: Domestic Tourism Results 23

24. TABLE 3 24

25. OUTBOUND TRIPS Only an overall/total figure was recorded for Table 3 as survey respondents were only required to state the total spent while on their trip abroad. This figure is Expenditure on Trip = TTD 1,233,792,787.32 25

26. TABLE 4 26

27. COMPILATION CHALLENGES  Total figures for pre and post trip expenditures were reflected for domestic outbound trips. Therefore only sections 2.9 and 4.1 of Table 4 have a total expenditure figure. 27

28. TABLE 4: Internal Tourism Consumption Results 28

29. TABLE 10 29

30. TABLE 10: Non Monetary Indicators Results  The unavailability of data for land based mode of transport prevented the completion of Table 10 part b.  The classification by the average number of jobs based on the number of establishments is different to the grouping that CSO uses. As such completed table 10 d used a different grouping 30
