Notes to tables

1. The content, format and order of tables in this editionof MQ6 differs from earlier editions. Changes havebeen made to ensure that information published inMQ6 is consistent and compatible with that which willbe available in other IPS publications and also to reflectthe recent changes in the makeup of the EU. Fouradditional tables are included which show visits bycountry of residence and nationality for overseasresidents on visits to the UK and visits by country visitedand nationality for UK residents on visits abroad.

2. Table 5: Overseas earnings and expenditure at constant(1995) prices - includes estimates for the ChannelI s l ands .

3. Table 7: Nights spent abroad by UK residents - includes cruisesallocated to ‘Other Areas’ (see note 27 on page 32).

4. Tables 8, 9, 10: Number of visits to the UK by mode.See note 2 on page 31.

5. Table 11: Spending by overseas residents by area and purposeof visit. See notes 9, 10 and 11 on page 31.

Definitions1. The figures relate to the number of visits, not number of

visitors. Anyone entering or leaving more than once in the sameperiod is counted on each visit. The count of visits relates toUnited Kingdom residents returning to this country and tooverseas residents leaving it.

2. Day-visits (i.e trips that do not involve an overnight stay)abroad by UK residents as well as day trips to the UK by overseasresidents are included in the figures for visits and expenditure.Details of such visits are shown separately in Tables 8-11 and18-20 under the heading ‘day visits’. Please note they do notcover day visits to or from the Irish Republic across the landborder, although they are included in total visits. For overseasresidents in transit through the UK see note 9.

3. An Overseas visitor means a person who being permanentlyresident in a country outside the United Kingdom visits theUnited Kingdom for a period of less than 12 months. UnitedKingdom citizens resident overseas for 12 months or morecoming home on leave are included in this category. Visitsabroad are visits for a period of less than 12 months by peoplepermanently resident in the United Kingdom (who may be offoreign nationality).

4. When a resident of the United Kingdom has visited more thanone country the entire visit, expenditure and stay are allocatedto the country stayed in for the longest time.

5. Visits for miscellaneous purposes include those for study, toattend sporting events, for shopping, health, religious or forother purposes, together with visits for more than one purposewhen none predominates (eg visits both on business and onholiday). Overseas visitors staying overnight in the UK en routeto other destinations are also included in miscellaneouspurposes.

6. Estimates relating to tourist flows across the land borderbetween the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland are, forconvenience, included in the figures for sea. Where not shownseparately, flows through the Channel Tunnel are also includedunder the figures for sea.

Regional Analysis (Table 13). The information relating tovisitors using the land border from the Irish Republic is notcollected and so is excluded from the table. Also excluded(except from the ‘Total’ section) are all visits that did notinclude an overnight stay in the United Kingdom. Visits byoverseas residents to Northern Ireland although included in the‘total’ column are not separately analysed. More than oneregion can be visited by an individual whilst in the UnitedKingdom and so the total of the visits to all the regions willtherefore sometimes be greater than the total number of visitsto the United Kingdom.

7. Adjustments are made to the reported cost of an inclusivetour so that only the amount earned by the country of visit (e.g.accommodation costs, car hire, etc.) is included. This estimateis then added to an individual’s spending to give the totalspending in the country of visit (see also note 9).

8. Length of stay for UK residents covers the time spent,including the journey outside the United Kingdom, whilst foroverseas residents it refers to the time spent within the UnitedKingdom.

9. Earnings and expenditure figures cover the same categoriesof travellers as do the number of visits except that in additionthe earnings figures include the expenditure by same daytransit passengers, and the foreign exchange earnings andexpenditure due to travel relating to the Channel Islands. Theyexclude payments for air, sea and rail travel to and from theUnited Kingdom. For any traveller on an inclusive tour anestimate of the return fare is deducted from the total tour price.

10. Earnings do not include the personal export of cars that havebeen purchased in the United Kingdom by overseas residents.Similarly spending excludes the personal import of cars by UKresidents.

11. An estimate for purchases by overseas visitors at airport duty-free shops is included in the figures for earnings. Suchpurchases on British carriers are still excluded.

Sample methodology

21 The IPS produces estimates that are based on interviews with astratified random sample of passengers entering and leaving theUnited Kingdom on the principle air, tunnel and sea routes. Themain features of the stratification are: mode of transport (i.e.air, tunnel or sea), port and time of day.

22. The frequency of sampling within each stratum depends mainlyon the variation of tourist expenditure and on the volume ofmigrants, for which the survey is also used to collect statistics.Travellers passing through passport control are randomly selectedfor interview and in all some 279,300 interviews were conductedin 2006. Only interviews carried out at the end of a visit areused to generate estimates of expenditure and stay. Of theseinterviews around 51,000 provided the published informationon foreign visitors to the UK and around 64,000 were used forthe estimate of UK residents travelling abroad. The interviewswere conducted on a purely voluntary and anonymous basis.

23. Despite the introduction in April 1999 of interviewing on air andsea routes to and from the Irish Republic (see notes 34 & 35), theresults from the IPS are still supplemented with estimates oftravel between the United Kingdom and the Irish Republic overthe land border where no IPS interviewing takes place. Estimatesfor travel by land are based on information provided by theCentral Statistics Office of the Irish Republic. Estimates ofearnings and expenditure are also supplemented with figuresfrom the Economic Advisor's Office of the States of Jersey, whoprovide information about the Channel Islands.

24. About 90 percent of passengers entering and leaving the UnitedKingdom (excluding those travelling by land to and from theIrish Republic) travel on routes covered by the survey. Theremainder are either passengers travelling at night wheninterviewing is suspended, or on those routes too small in volumeto be covered. For those passengers, estimates are made andinput into the main results of the survey.

25. At the major airports a sample of half days is taken and a fixedproportion of passengers is interviewed, whilst the smallerairports are sampled occasionally with the number of visitsdepending on the number of international passengers.

26. On the sea routes either particular cross-channel sailings aresampled and a fixed proportion of passengers interviewed onboard, or a sample of days is taken and the passengers interviewedon the quayside.

27. In all, approximately 279,300 travellers (0.13 per cent of thetotal travellers) were interviewed in 2006; this proportion variesfrom port to port. At Heathrow airport it was approx 109thousand (0.24 per cent of all travellers). Gatwick 37 thousand(0.13 per cent) were interviewed and at Manchester approx 20thousand (0.11 per cent). At all other airports there were 72thousand interviews (0.09 per cent). On the short sea routessampled, there were approx 15 thousand interviews (0.07 percent of all traffic). On the long sea routes, liners or other shipscarrying only cruise passengers are excluded from the survey, butall other ships carrying more than 50 passengers arriving ordeparting were covered and approximately 0.47 per cent wereinterviewed. On the Channel tunnel routes 26 thousand (0.15per cent) were interviewed in 2006.

28 . UK residents who left a cruise boat at a foreign port andreturned home on a scheduled air or sea service (e.g.fly-cruises) are included in the IPS. Information on thenumber of passengers on those cruises finishing inthe United Kingdom is collected by the Department forTransport and this with the estimates of their length ofstay and expenditure is added to the cruise datacollected from the IPS and included under the headingsfor ‘other areas’, ‘holiday’, and ‘sea’.

29 . A complex weighting procedure is used in the surveyresults taking account of passenger movementstatistics produced by the BAA plc and the Civil AviationAuthority for air traffic and by the Department forTransport for sea traffic. For Heathrow, Gatwick andManchester allowances are made for passengers intransit who do not pass through passport control andhence do not cross the IPS counting line.

Accuracy of the results

30. As the information is collected by a sample survey, theestimates of the number of visits, length of stay andexpenditure are subject to a sampling error. Generallyspeaking, the larger the sample supporting a particularestimate, the smaller its sampling error. However, asthe intensity of the sampling varies at each port, figuresof a similar magnitude will not necessarily have thesame percentage sampling error.

31 . The errors quoted below relate to those for a stratifiedrandom sample. In the past, the accuracy of IPSestimates has been quoted in terms of 'simple'sampling errors, which have not fully taken into accountthe clustered sample design of the survey. Recentresearch, however, has allowed the full effects of thecomplex sample design upon each of the mainestimates to be calculated, and it is these newlycalculated 'complex' sampling errors which are quotedbelow.

32 . The sampling errors of IPS estimates are given interms of an interval in to which there are 19 chances outof 20 that the true figure will fall. This is known as a 95%confidence interval; the estimate plus or minus thepercentage quoted gives the appropriate interval.

33 . The estimate of the total number of overseas residents'visits to the UK (excluding land based visits from theIrish Republic) in 2006 as a whole had a 95% confidenceinterval of + 2.9 per cent. Total visitor-nights and totalearnings for the year had 95% confidence intervals of+ 4.2 per cent and + 3.1 per cent respectively. By quarter,the estimated confidence intervals for the total numberof visits varied between + 5.2 per cent in quarter threeand + 6.1 per cent in quarter four. On average, confidenceintervals for visitor-nights and earnings by quarter were+ 8.4 per cent and + 5.9 per cent respectively.

34 . The estimate of the total number of UK residents' visitsabroad (excluding land based visits to the Irish Republic)in 2006 as a whole had a 95% confidence interval of +1.3 per cent. Total visitor-nights and total expenditurefor the year had 95% confidence intervals of +2.0 percent and + 1.9 per cent respectively. By quarter, theestimated confidence intervals for the total number ofvisits varied between + 2.3 per cent for quarter three and+ 2.8 per cent for quarter four. On average, confidenceintervals for visitor-nights and earnings by quarter were+ 4.1 per cent and + 3.8 per cent respectively.

Important change in IPS sampling

35. The IPS commenced interviewing on air and searoutes to and from the Irish Republic in April 1999.Results for 1999 shown in this edition have beenrevised from previously published estimates followingthe use and analysis of records produced by interviewsconducted on these new routes. The inclusion of theIrish routes in the IPS sample creates a discontinuityin the results and so additional care must be takenwhen making time series analyses of the data orwhen comparing the results with previously publisheddata.

36 . The inclusion of the Irish routes sample does notsimply adjust the numbers of visits made to the UK byresidents to the Irish Republic and to the Irish Republicby UK residents. The new sample shows that manytrips are made on these routes by residents of regionsother then the UK or the Irish Republic, which meansthat estimates of visits and spending for some countriesother than the Irish Republic have also been subjectto revision.

37 . Traffic at all airports and seaports is monitoredregularly to assess if they should be included in theIPS sample. As a consequence Liverpool andPrestwick airports were introduced into the sample atthe beginning of 2005. Between 2000 and 2004, trafficthrough Liverpool had quadrupled to over two and halfmillion international passengers, while at Prestwickthere was a five fold increase to nearly one and halfmillion passengers over the same period. Theinclusion of these ports in the IPS sample wereshown to cause a discontinuity in regional results andmethodology was modified to account for this. Moredetails can be found at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/about/methodology_by_theme/gini/Int_passenger_survey.asp.

Changes to the MQ6 publication in 2007

38. Due to the expansion of the EU in January 2007. Thisand future publications of MQ6 will reflect the changeby including the EU27 countries in the tables.

Changes to the method of imputing expenditure

39. The methods of computing expenditure (imputation)for cases where no expenditure information is givenby the contact changed in 2007. The new methodtakes account of the duration of stay of the contactwhich had not been the case previously and meansthere may be a discontinuity in the expenditure seriesfrom 2006 to 2007.

The new methodology compensates for possibleoverestimates of spending which may have arisen inthe past due to the average daily spending beinggenerally lower on longer trips than on shorter ones.

Changes to the method of imputing fares

40. The costs of a package trip normally include fares toand from the country of visit. For expenditure estimatesthe fares are deducted from the cost of a package inorder to obtain the amount of spending on the visit. Themanual method of looking up fares from brochuresand from the web has been replaced in 2007 by anautomated system which uses fares data provided bythe respondant.

The full IPS dataset contains over 110 variables. These include variables containing answers to the questions asked in the interview and others thatare derived from those answers. Some variables are simply indicators to help identify the quality of data or to show where data have been imputed,and to what degree. The most widely-used variables for general analyses are described below.

Variable Name DescriptionYear1 The year of the interview is recorded as a four digit number.Quarter1 The four quarters of the calendar year are recorded as a single digit.Month The month of interview is recorded as two digits from 01-12.Flow1 Flow describes the direction of travel and the basic residence of traveller. Flow is differentiated further according to whether

the contact travelled by a) air, or b) by sea or Channel Tunnel. This gives eight categories of flow these being:- arrivals by UK residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- departures by UK residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- arrivals by overseas residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- departures by overseas residents (air, or sea/tunnel).

Weight1 The number of trips represented by each contact is given by the weight variable. The total number of trips can therefore becalculated by summing the weights' values of the contacts.

Nationality The nationality of the contact is recorded for all contacts.Country visited1 The main country of visit (or country stayed in the longest) by UK residents is recorded for arrivals and departures.Residence1 The country of residence of overseas residents is recorded for both arrivals and departures.Town of residence The town or area of residence is recorded for UK residents for arrivals.

States of residence Each year, the state or area within a country is recorded for overseas residents in addition to their country of residence. This

detail is limited to four countries each year which are changed annually. In 2007 the countries are Canada, Germany, the Irish

Republic and Japan.Purpose of visit1 A single main purpose of visit is recorded for UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior to 2007 it

was available for all contacts.S tay 1 The length of stay of the visit is recorded in nights. This is only available for overseas residents' departures and UK

residents' arrivals.Expenditure1 The amount of money spent on the trip (excluding fares) is recorded in £ sterling and is available for overseas residents'

departures and UK residents' arrivals.UK port The UK port is the airport, or the sea/tunnel port or route where the interview was conducted.First port This is the overseas port to which the contact is travelling directly (or travelled directly from). If the person does not change

plane during the trip, 'First port' is also the final destination (for departures) or where the visit started from (for arrivals).Second port If 'First port' is a port where the contact changed planes, 'Second port' then records the final destination (for departures) or

the place where the visit started from (for arrivals). It is otherwise left blank.Flight origin/destination This is an overseas airport which is either the final destination of the flight being taken (for air departures) or where the flight

originated from (for air arrivals). This is not necessarily the same port at which the contact boarded or left the flight.Mileage travelled The distance travelled is computed in miles from the geographical locations of the ports recorded. The distances represent the

sea level (or 'great circle') distances covered. Three distances are calculated:- from the 'UK port' to 'First port' (for all air contacts);- from 'First port' to 'Second port' (if a second port is recorded);- from 'Second port' to 'UK port' (if a second port is recorded).

Carrier This is the air company or shipping line used on the leg of the journey between the 'UK port' and 'First port'. However, thecarrier used between 'First port' and 'Second port' is not recorded.

Class of travel Has been dropped from the IPS in 2007Type of flight The type of flight e.g. scheduled or charter (air records only).Fare The single fare in £ sterling is recorded for UK residents' arrivals only. Prior to 2007 it was recorded on UK residents'

departures.Vehicle type The type of vehicle taken on board ship or train is recorded. If no vehicle is used or cannot be identified, the contact is

recorded as being a foot passenger.Number in vehicle This is the number of people travelling in the vehicle recorded aboveAge1 The age group of the contact is asked and recorded for all UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior

to 2007 it was available for all contacts.Gender1 Sex is recorded for all UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior to 2007 it was available for all

contacts.Towns 1-5 For overseas residents' departures only, up to five towns in which the contact has spent at least one night are recorded.Stay 1-5 The number of nights spent in 'Towns 1-5' are recorded.Spend 1-5 Expenditure while in 'Towns 1-5' is not collected but is imputed based on total expenditure, length of stay and area of visit.Package1 This identifies whether the contact travelled as part of an inclusive tour package or travelled independently.Money spent The money spent on spirits, beer, wine, other alcohol and on tobacco being brought back into the UK by UK residents is

recorded.

The above list is not exhaustive and excludes variables based on questions not asked regularly on the IPS. Variables regarding data quality are also notincluded.1 Information based on these variables is included in the Travelpac datasets.

Notes to tables

1. The content, format and order of tables in this editionof MQ6 differs from earlier editions. Changes havebeen made to ensure that information published inMQ6 is consistent and compatible with that which willbe available in other IPS publications and also to reflectthe recent changes in the makeup of the EU. Fouradditional tables are included which show visits bycountry of residence and nationality for overseasresidents on visits to the UK and visits by country visitedand nationality for UK residents on visits abroad.

2. Table 5: Overseas earnings and expenditure at constant(1995) prices - includes estimates for the ChannelI s l ands .

3. Table 7: Nights spent abroad by UK residents - includes cruisesallocated to ‘Other Areas’ (see note 27 on page 32).

Exclusions:

The following groups are excluded from the tables in this publication:

9. Trippers who cross the Channel or the North Sea but do not alightfrom the boat.

10. Migrants and persons travelling overseas to take up pre-arranged employment together with military/diplomaticpersonnel, merchant seamen and airline personnel on duty.

11. Overseas residents passing through the United Kingdom en routeto other destinations (often known as transit passengers) butwho do not stay overnight (however any spending whilst hereis included in the figures for earnings).

SymbolsP = Prov is iona lR = Revised- = Not available or no sample0 = visits less than 500 or spending less than £500,000

VFR = Visiting friends or relatives.

Please note:Due to rounding, constituent items in the tables may not addexactly to totals.

Definitions1. The figures relate to the number of visits, not number of

visitors. Anyone entering or leaving more than once in the sameperiod is counted on each visit. The count of visits relates toUnited Kingdom residents returning to this country and tooverseas residents leaving it.

2. Day-visits (i.e trips that do not involve an overnight stay)abroad by UK residents as well as day trips to the UK by overseasresidents are included in the figures for visits and expenditure.Details of such visits are shown separately in Tables 8-11 and18-20 under the heading ‘day visits’. Please note they do notcover day visits to or from the Irish Republic across the landborder, although they are included in total visits. For overseasresidents in transit through the UK see note 9.

3. An Overseas visitor means a person who being permanentlyresident in a country outside the United Kingdom visits theUnited Kingdom for a period of less than 12 months. UnitedKingdom citizens resident overseas for 12 months or morecoming home on leave are included in this category. Visitsabroad are visits for a period of less than 12 months by peoplepermanently resident in the United Kingdom (who may be offoreign nationality).

4. When a resident of the United Kingdom has visited more thanone country the entire visit, expenditure and stay are allocatedto the country stayed in for the longest time.

5. Visits for miscellaneous purposes include those for study, toattend sporting events, for shopping, health, religious or forother purposes, together with visits for more than one purposewhen none predominates (eg visits both on business and onholiday). Overseas visitors staying overnight in the UK en routeto other destinations are also included in miscellaneouspurposes.

6. Estimates relating to tourist flows across the land borderbetween the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland are, forconvenience, included in the figures for sea. Where not shownseparately, flows through the Channel Tunnel are also includedunder the figures for sea.

Regional Analysis (Table 13). The information relating tovisitors using the land border from the Irish Republic is notcollected and so is excluded from the table. Also excluded(except from the ‘Total’ section) are all visits that did notinclude an overnight stay in the United Kingdom. Visits byoverseas residents to Northern Ireland although included in the‘total’ column are not separately analysed. More than oneregion can be visited by an individual whilst in the UnitedKingdom and so the total of the visits to all the regions willtherefore sometimes be greater than the total number of visitsto the United Kingdom.

7. Adjustments are made to the reported cost of an inclusivetour so that only the amount earned by the country of visit (e.g.accommodation costs, car hire, etc.) is included. This estimateis then added to an individual’s spending to give the totalspending in the country of visit (see also note 9).

8. Length of stay for UK residents covers the time spent,including the journey outside the United Kingdom, whilst foroverseas residents it refers to the time spent within the UnitedKingdom.

9. Earnings and expenditure figures cover the same categoriesof travellers as do the number of visits except that in additionthe earnings figures include the expenditure by same daytransit passengers, and the foreign exchange earnings andexpenditure due to travel relating to the Channel Islands. Theyexclude payments for air, sea and rail travel to and from theUnited Kingdom. For any traveller on an inclusive tour anestimate of the return fare is deducted from the total tour price.

10. Earnings do not include the personal export of cars that havebeen purchased in the United Kingdom by overseas residents.Similarly spending excludes the personal import of cars by UKresidents.

11. An estimate for purchases by overseas visitors at airport duty-free shops is included in the figures for earnings. Suchpurchases on British carriers are still excluded.

Sample methodology

21 The IPS produces estimates that are based on interviews with astratified random sample of passengers entering and leaving theUnited Kingdom on the principle air, tunnel and sea routes. Themain features of the stratification are: mode of transport (i.e.air, tunnel or sea), port and time of day.

22. The frequency of sampling within each stratum depends mainlyon the variation of tourist expenditure and on the volume ofmigrants, for which the survey is also used to collect statistics.Travellers passing through passport control are randomly selectedfor interview and in all some 279,300 interviews were conductedin 2006. Only interviews carried out at the end of a visit areused to generate estimates of expenditure and stay. Of theseinterviews around 51,000 provided the published informationon foreign visitors to the UK and around 64,000 were used forthe estimate of UK residents travelling abroad. The interviewswere conducted on a purely voluntary and anonymousbasis. (Note: corresponding figures for 2007 will bemade available in the next MQ6 publication, relating toQ3 2008).

23 . Despite the introduction in April 1999 of interviewing onair and sea routes to and from the Irish Republic (seenotes 34 & 35), the results from the IPS are stillsupplemented with estimates of travel between theUnited Kingdom and the Irish Republic over the landborder where no IPS interviewing takes place. Estimatesfor travel by land are based on information provided bythe Central Statistics Office of the Irish Republic.Estimates of earnings and expenditure are alsosupplemented with figures from the Economic Advisor'sOffice of the States of Jersey, who provide informationabout the Channel Islands.

24 . About 90 percent of passengers entering and leavingthe United Kingdom (excluding those travelling by landto and from the Irish Republic) travel on routes coveredby the survey. The remainder are either passengerstravelling at night when interviewing is suspended, oron those routes too small in volume to be covered. Forthose passengers, estimates are made and input intothe main results of the survey.

25 . At the major airports a sample of half days is taken anda fixed proportion of passengers is interviewed, whilstthe smaller airports are sampled occasionally with thenumber of visits depending on the number ofinternational passengers.

26 . On the sea routes either particular cross-channelsailings are sampled and a fixed proportion ofpassengers interviewed on board, or a sample of daysis taken and the passengers interviewed on thequays ide .

27 . In all, approximately 279,300 travellers (0.13 per centof the total travellers) were interviewed in 2006; thisproportion varies from port to port. At Heathrow airportit was approx 109 thousand (0.24 per cent of alltravellers). Gatwick 37 thousand (0.13 per cent) wereinterviewed and at Manchester approx 20 thousand(0.11 per cent). At all other airports there were 72

thousand interviews (0.09 per cent). On the short searoutes sampled, there were approx 15 thousandinterviews (0.07 per cent of all traffic). On the long searoutes, liners or other ships carrying only cruisepassengers are excluded from the survey, but all otherships carrying more than 50 passengers arriving ordeparting were covered and approximately 0.47 percent were interviewed. On the Channel tunnel routes26 thousand (0.15 per cent) were interviewed in 2006.

28 . UK residents who left a cruise boat at a foreign port andreturned home on a scheduled air or sea service (e.g.fly-cruises) are included in the IPS. Information on thenumber of passengers on those cruises finishing inthe United Kingdom is collected by the Department forTransport and this with the estimates of their length ofstay and expenditure is added to the cruise datacollected from the IPS and included under the headingsfor ‘other areas’, ‘holiday’, and ‘sea’.

29 . A complex weighting procedure is used in the surveyresults taking account of passenger movementstatistics produced by the BAA plc and the Civil AviationAuthority for air traffic and by the Department forTransport for sea traffic. For Heathrow, Gatwick andManchester allowances are made for passengers intransit who do not pass through passport control andhence do not cross the IPS counting line.

Accuracy of the results

30. As the information is collected by a sample survey, theestimates of the number of visits, length of stay andexpenditure are subject to a sampling error. Generallyspeaking, the larger the sample supporting a particularestimate, the smaller its sampling error. However, asthe intensity of the sampling varies at each port, figuresof a similar magnitude will not necessarily have thesame percentage sampling error.

31 . The errors quoted below relate to those for a stratifiedrandom sample. In the past, the accuracy of IPSestimates has been quoted in terms of 'simple'sampling errors, which have not fully taken into accountthe clustered sample design of the survey. Recentresearch, however, has allowed the full effects of thecomplex sample design upon each of the mainestimates to be calculated, and it is these newlycalculated 'complex' sampling errors which are quotedbelow.

32 . The sampling errors of IPS estimates are given interms of an interval in to which there are 19 chances outof 20 that the true figure will fall. This is known as a 95%confidence interval; the estimate plus or minus thepercentage quoted gives the appropriate interval.

33 . The estimate of the total number of overseas residents'visits to the UK (excluding land based visits from theIrish Republic) in 2006 as a whole had a 95% confidenceinterval of + 2.9 per cent. Total visitor-nights and totalearnings for the year had 95% confidence intervals of+ 4.2 per cent and + 3.1 per cent respectively. By quarter,the estimated confidence intervals for the total numberof visits varied between + 5.2 per cent in quarter threeand + 6.1 per cent in quarter four. On average, confidenceintervals for visitor-nights and earnings by quarter were+ 8.4 per cent and + 5.9 per cent respectively.

Important change in IPS sampling

35. The IPS commenced interviewing on air and searoutes to and from the Irish Republic in April 1999.Results for 1999 shown in this edition have beenrevised from previously published estimates followingthe use and analysis of records produced by interviewsconducted on these new routes. The inclusion of theIrish routes in the IPS sample creates a discontinuityin the results and so additional care must be takenwhen making time series analyses of the data orwhen comparing the results with previously publisheddata.

36 . The inclusion of the Irish routes sample does notsimply adjust the numbers of visits made to the UK byresidents to the Irish Republic and to the Irish Republicby UK residents. The new sample shows that manytrips are made on these routes by residents of regionsother then the UK or the Irish Republic, which meansthat estimates of visits and spending for some countriesother than the Irish Republic have also been subjectto revision.

37 . Traffic at all airports and seaports is monitoredregularly to assess if they should be included in theIPS sample. As a consequence Liverpool andPrestwick airports were introduced into the sample atthe beginning of 2005. Between 2000 and 2004, trafficthrough Liverpool had quadrupled to over two and halfmillion international passengers, while at Prestwickthere was a five fold increase to nearly one and halfmillion passengers over the same period. Theinclusion of these ports in the IPS sample wereshown to cause a discontinuity in regional results andmethodology was modified to account for this. Moredetails can be found at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/about/methodology_by_theme/gini/Int_passenger_survey.asp.

Changes to the MQ6 publication in 2007

38. Due to the expansion of the EU in January 2007. Thisand future publications of MQ6 will reflect the changeby including the EU27 countries in the tables.

Changes to the method of imputing expenditure

39. The methods of computing expenditure (imputation)for cases where no expenditure information is givenby the contact changed in 2007. The new methodtakes account of the duration of stay of the contactwhich had not been the case previously and meansthere may be a discontinuity in the expenditure seriesfrom 2006 to 2007.

The new methodology compensates for possibleoverestimates of spending which may have arisen inthe past due to the average daily spending beinggenerally lower on longer trips than on shorter ones.

Changes to the method of imputing fares

40. The costs of a package trip normally include fares toand from the country of visit. For expenditure estimatesthe fares are deducted from the cost of a package inorder to obtain the amount of spending on the visit. Themanual method of looking up fares from brochuresand from the web has been replaced in 2007 by anautomated system which uses fares data provided bythe respondant.

The full IPS dataset contains over 110 variables. These include variables containing answers to the questions asked in the interview and others thatare derived from those answers. Some variables are simply indicators to help identify the quality of data or to show where data have been imputed,and to what degree. The most widely-used variables for general analyses are described below.

Variable Name DescriptionYear1 The year of the interview is recorded as a four digit number.Quarter1 The four quarters of the calendar year are recorded as a single digit.Month The month of interview is recorded as two digits from 01-12.Flow1 Flow describes the direction of travel and the basic residence of traveller. Flow is differentiated further according to whether

the contact travelled by a) air, or b) by sea or Channel Tunnel. This gives eight categories of flow these being:- arrivals by UK residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- departures by UK residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- arrivals by overseas residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- departures by overseas residents (air, or sea/tunnel).

Weight1 The number of trips represented by each contact is given by the weight variable. The total number of trips can therefore becalculated by summing the weights' values of the contacts.

Nationality The nationality of the contact is recorded for all contacts.Country visited1 The main country of visit (or country stayed in the longest) by UK residents is recorded for arrivals and departures.Residence1 The country of residence of overseas residents is recorded for both arrivals and departures.Town of residence The town or area of residence is recorded for UK residents for arrivals.

States of residence Each year, the state or area within a country is recorded for overseas residents in addition to their country of residence. This

detail is limited to four countries each year which are changed annually. In 2007 the countries are Canada, Germany, the Irish

Republic and Japan.Purpose of visit1 A single main purpose of visit is recorded for UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior to 2007 it

was available for all contacts.S tay 1 The length of stay of the visit is recorded in nights. This is only available for overseas residents' departures and UK

residents' arrivals.Expenditure1 The amount of money spent on the trip (excluding fares) is recorded in £ sterling and is available for overseas residents'

departures and UK residents' arrivals.UK port The UK port is the airport, or the sea/tunnel port or route where the interview was conducted.First port This is the overseas port to which the contact is travelling directly (or travelled directly from). If the person does not change

plane during the trip, 'First port' is also the final destination (for departures) or where the visit started from (for arrivals).Second port If 'First port' is a port where the contact changed planes, 'Second port' then records the final destination (for departures) or

the place where the visit started from (for arrivals). It is otherwise left blank.Flight origin/destination This is an overseas airport which is either the final destination of the flight being taken (for air departures) or where the flight

originated from (for air arrivals). This is not necessarily the same port at which the contact boarded or left the flight.Mileage travelled The distance travelled is computed in miles from the geographical locations of the ports recorded. The distances represent the

sea level (or 'great circle') distances covered. Three distances are calculated:- from the 'UK port' to 'First port' (for all air contacts);- from 'First port' to 'Second port' (if a second port is recorded);- from 'Second port' to 'UK port' (if a second port is recorded).

Carrier This is the air company or shipping line used on the leg of the journey between the 'UK port' and 'First port'. However, thecarrier used between 'First port' and 'Second port' is not recorded.

Class of travel Has been dropped from the IPS in 2007Type of flight The type of flight e.g. scheduled or charter (air records only).Fare The single fare in £ sterling is recorded for UK residents' arrivals only. Prior to 2007 it was recorded on UK residents'

departures.Vehicle type The type of vehicle taken on board ship or train is recorded. If no vehicle is used or cannot be identified, the contact is

recorded as being a foot passenger.Number in vehicle This is the number of people travelling in the vehicle recorded aboveAge1 The age group of the contact is asked and recorded for all UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior

to 2007 it was available for all contacts.Gender1 Sex is recorded for all UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior to 2007 it was available for all

contacts.Towns 1-5 For overseas residents' departures only, up to five towns in which the contact has spent at least one night are recorded.Stay 1-5 The number of nights spent in 'Towns 1-5' are recorded.Spend 1-5 Expenditure while in 'Towns 1-5' is not collected but is imputed based on total expenditure, length of stay and area of visit.Package1 This identifies whether the contact travelled as part of an inclusive tour package or travelled independently.Money spent The money spent on spirits, beer, wine, other alcohol and on tobacco being brought back into the UK by UK residents is

recorded.

The above list is not exhaustive and excludes variables based on questions not asked regularly on the IPS. Variables regarding data quality are also notincluded.1 Information based on these variables is included in the Travelpac datasets.

1. The content, format and order of tables in this editionof MQ6 differs from earlier editions. Changes havebeen made to ensure that information published inMQ6 is consistent and compatible with that which willbe available in other IPS publications and also to reflectthe recent changes in the makeup of the EU. Fouradditional tables are included which show visits bycountry of residence and nationality for overseasresidents on visits to the UK and visits by country visitedand nationality for UK residents on visits abroad.

Definitions1. The figures relate to the number of visits, not number of

visitors. Anyone entering or leaving more than once in the sameperiod is counted on each visit. The count of visits relates toUnited Kingdom residents returning to this country and tooverseas residents leaving it.

2. Day-visits (i.e trips that do not involve an overnight stay)abroad by UK residents as well as day trips to the UK by overseasresidents are included in the figures for visits and expenditure.Details of such visits are shown separately in Tables 8-11 and18-20 under the heading ‘day visits’. Please note they do notcover day visits to or from the Irish Republic across the landborder, although they are included in total visits. For overseasresidents in transit through the UK see note 9.

3. An Overseas visitor means a person who being permanentlyresident in a country outside the United Kingdom visits theUnited Kingdom for a period of less than 12 months. UnitedKingdom citizens resident overseas for 12 months or morecoming home on leave are included in this category. Visitsabroad are visits for a period of less than 12 months by peoplepermanently resident in the United Kingdom (who may be offoreign nationality).

4. When a resident of the United Kingdom has visited more thanone country the entire visit, expenditure and stay are allocatedto the country stayed in for the longest time.

5. Visits for miscellaneous purposes include those for study, toattend sporting events, for shopping, health, religious or forother purposes, together with visits for more than one purposewhen none predominates (eg visits both on business and onholiday). Overseas visitors staying overnight in the UK en routeto other destinations are also included in miscellaneouspurposes.

6. Estimates relating to tourist flows across the land borderbetween the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland are, forconvenience, included in the figures for sea. Where not shownseparately, flows through the Channel Tunnel are also includedunder the figures for sea.

Regional Analysis (Table 13). The information relating tovisitors using the land border from the Irish Republic is notcollected and so is excluded from the table. Also excluded(except from the ‘Total’ section) are all visits that did notinclude an overnight stay in the United Kingdom. Visits byoverseas residents to Northern Ireland although included in the‘total’ column are not separately analysed. More than oneregion can be visited by an individual whilst in the UnitedKingdom and so the total of the visits to all the regions willtherefore sometimes be greater than the total number of visitsto the United Kingdom.

7. Adjustments are made to the reported cost of an inclusivetour so that only the amount earned by the country of visit (e.g.accommodation costs, car hire, etc.) is included. This estimateis then added to an individual’s spending to give the totalspending in the country of visit (see also note 9).

8. Length of stay for UK residents covers the time spent,including the journey outside the United Kingdom, whilst foroverseas residents it refers to the time spent within the UnitedKingdom.

9. Earnings and expenditure figures cover the same categoriesof travellers as do the number of visits except that in additionthe earnings figures include the expenditure by same daytransit passengers, and the foreign exchange earnings andexpenditure due to travel relating to the Channel Islands. Theyexclude payments for air, sea and rail travel to and from theUnited Kingdom. For any traveller on an inclusive tour anestimate of the return fare is deducted from the total tour price.

10. Earnings do not include the personal export of cars that havebeen purchased in the United Kingdom by overseas residents.Similarly spending excludes the personal import of cars by UKresidents.

11. An estimate for purchases by overseas visitors at airport duty-free shops is included in the figures for earnings. Suchpurchases on British carriers are still excluded.

Sample methodology

21 The IPS produces estimates that are based on interviews with astratified random sample of passengers entering and leaving theUnited Kingdom on the principle air, tunnel and sea routes. Themain features of the stratification are: mode of transport (i.e.air, tunnel or sea), port and time of day.

22. The frequency of sampling within each stratum depends mainlyon the variation of tourist expenditure and on the volume ofmigrants, for which the survey is also used to collect statistics.Travellers passing through passport control are randomly selectedfor interview and in all some 259,000 interviews wereconducted in 2007. Only interviews carried out at theend of a visit are used to generate estimates ofexpenditure and stay. Of these interviews around 54,000provided the published information on foreign visitorsto the UK and around 62,000 were used for the estimateof UK residents travelling abroad. The interviews wereconducted on a purely voluntary and anonymous basis.

23 . Despite the introduction in April 1999 of interviewing onair and sea routes to and from the Irish Republic (seenotes 34 & 35), the results from the IPS are stillsupplemented with estimates of travel between theUnited Kingdom and the Irish Republic over the landborder where no IPS interviewing takes place. Estimatesfor travel by land are based on information provided bythe Central Statistics Office of the Irish Republic.Estimates of earnings and expenditure are alsosupplemented with figures from the Economic Advisor'sOffice of the States of Jersey, who provide informationabout the Channel Islands.

24 . About 90 percent of passengers entering and leavingthe United Kingdom (excluding those travelling by landto and from the Irish Republic) travel on routes coveredby the survey. The remainder are either passengerstravelling at night when interviewing is suspended, oron those routes too small in volume to be covered. Forthose passengers, estimates are made and input intothe main results of the survey.

25 . At the major airports a sample of half days is taken anda fixed proportion of passengers is interviewed, whilstthe smaller airports are sampled occasionally with thenumber of visits depending on the number ofinternational passengers.

26 . On the sea routes either particular cross-channelsailings are sampled and a fixed proportion ofpassengers interviewed on board, or a sample of daysis taken and the passengers interviewed on thequays ide .

27 . In all, approximately 259,000 travellers (0.13 per centof the total travellers) were interviewed in 2007; thisproportion varies from port to port. At Heathrow airportit was approx 95 thousand (0.22 per cent of all travellers).Gatwick 27 thousand (0.8 per cent) were interviewed,at Manchester approx 19 thousand (0.1 per cent) andat Stansted 23 thousand (0.11 per cent) . At all otherairports there were 48 thousand interviews (0.03 percent). On the sea routes sampled, there were approx 17thousand interviews (0.07 per cent of all traffic). On theChannel tunnel routes 24 thousand (0.14 per cent)were interviewed in 2007.

28 . UK residents who left a cruise boat at a foreign port andreturned home on a scheduled air or sea service (e.g.fly-cruises) are included in the IPS. Information on thenumber of passengers on those cruises finishing inthe United Kingdom is collected by the Department forTransport and this with the estimates of their length ofstay and expenditure is added to the cruise datacollected from the IPS and included under the headingsfor ‘other areas’, ‘holiday’, and ‘sea’.

29 . A complex weighting procedure is used in the surveyresults taking account of passenger movementstatistics produced by the BAA plc and the Civil AviationAuthority for air traffic and by the Department forTransport for sea traffic. For Heathrow, Gatwick andManchester allowances are made for passengers intransit who do not pass through passport control andhence do not cross the IPS counting line.

30. As the information is collected by a sample survey, theestimates of the number of visits, length of stay andexpenditure are subject to a sampling error. Generallyspeaking, the larger the sample supporting a particularestimate, the smaller its sampling error. However, asthe intensity of the sampling varies at each port, figuresof a similar magnitude will not necessarily have thesame percentage sampling error.

31 . The errors quoted below relate to those for a stratifiedrandom sample. In the past, the accuracy of IPSestimates has been quoted in terms of 'simple'sampling errors, which have not fully taken into accountthe clustered sample design of the survey. Recentresearch, however, has allowed the full effects of thecomplex sample design upon each of the mainestimates to be calculated, and it is these newlycalculated 'complex' sampling errors which are quotedbelow.

32 . The sampling errors of IPS estimates are given interms of an interval in to which there are 19 chances outof 20 that the true figure will fall. This is known as a 95%confidence interval; the estimate plus or minus thepercentage quoted gives the appropriate interval.

33 . The estimate of the total number of overseas residents'visits to the UK (excluding land based visits from theIrish Republic) in 2007 as a whole had a 95% confidenceinterval of + 3.0 per cent. Total visitor-nights and totalearnings for the year had 95% confidence intervals of+ 3.9 per cent and + 2.6 per cent respectively. By quarter,the estimated confidence intervals for the total numberof visits varied between + 5.7 per cent in quarter one and+ 6.2 per cent in quarter two. On average, confidenceintervals for visitor-nights and earnings by quarter were+ 7.9 per cent and + 5.2 per cent respectively.

34 . The estimate of the total number of UK residents' visitsabroad (excluding land based visits to the Irish Republic)in 2007 as a whole had a 95% confidence interval of +1.5 per cent. Total visitor-nights and total expenditurefor the year had 95% confidence intervals of +2.1 percent and + 1.9 per cent respectively. By quarter, theestimated confidence intervals for the total number ofvisits varied between + 2.6 per cent for quarter three and+ 3.1 per cent for quarter four. On average, confidenceintervals for visitor-nights and earnings by quarter were+ 4.4 per cent and + 3.9 per cent respectively.

Important change in IPS sampling

35. The IPS commenced interviewing on air and searoutes to and from the Irish Republic in April 1999.Results for 1999 shown in this edition have beenrevised from previously published estimates followingthe use and analysis of records produced by interviewsconducted on these new routes. The inclusion of theIrish routes in the IPS sample creates a discontinuityin the results and so additional care must be takenwhen making time series analyses of the data orwhen comparing the results with previously publisheddata.

36 . The inclusion of the Irish routes sample does notsimply adjust the numbers of visits made to the UK byresidents to the Irish Republic and to the Irish Republicby UK residents. The new sample shows that manytrips are made on these routes by residents of regionsother then the UK or the Irish Republic, which meansthat estimates of visits and spending for some countriesother than the Irish Republic have also been subjectto revision.

37 . Traffic at all airports and seaports is monitoredregularly to assess if they should be included in theIPS sample. As a consequence Liverpool andPrestwick airports were introduced into the sample atthe beginning of 2005. Between 2000 and 2004, trafficthrough Liverpool had quadrupled to over two and halfmillion international passengers, while at Prestwickthere was a five fold increase to nearly one and halfmillion passengers over the same period. Theinclusion of these ports in the IPS sample wereshown to cause a discontinuity in regional results andmethodology was modified to account for this. Moredetails can be found at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/about/methodology_by_theme/gini/Int_passenger_survey.asp. Similarlyin early 2007 each of Doncaster, Bournmouth,Southhamption and Heathrow Terminal 5 were addedto the sample.

Changes to the MQ6 publication in 2007

38. Due to the expansion of the EU in January 2007. Thisand future publications of MQ6 will reflect the changeby including the EU27 countries in the tables.

Changes to the method of imputing expenditure

39. The methods of computing expenditure (imputation)for cases where no expenditure information is givenby the contact changed in 2007. The new methodtakes account of the duration of stay of the contactwhich had not been the case previously and meansthere may be a discontinuity in the expenditure seriesfrom 2006 to 2007.

The new methodology compensates for possibleoverestimates of spending which may have arisen inthe past due to the average daily spending beinggenerally lower on longer trips than on shorter ones.

Changes to the method of imputing fares

40. The costs of a package trip normally include fares toand from the country of visit. For expenditure estimatesthe fares are deducted from the cost of a package inorder to obtain the amount of spending on the visit. Themanual method of looking up fares from brochures

and from the web has been replaced in 2007 by anautomated system which uses fares data provided bythe respondant.

The full IPS dataset contains over 110 variables. These include variables containing answers to the questions asked in the interview and others thatare derived from those answers. Some variables are simply indicators to help identify the quality of data or to show where data have been imputed,and to what degree. The most widely-used variables for general analyses are described below.

Variable Name DescriptionYear1 The year of the interview is recorded as a four digit number.Quarter1 The four quarters of the calendar year are recorded as a single digit.Month The month of interview is recorded as two digits from 01-12.Flow1 Flow describes the direction of travel and the basic residence of traveller. Flow is differentiated further according to whether

the contact travelled by a) air, or b) by sea or Channel Tunnel. This gives eight categories of flow these being:- arrivals by UK residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- departures by UK residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- arrivals by overseas residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- departures by overseas residents (air, or sea/tunnel).

Weight1 The number of trips represented by each contact is given by the weight variable. The total number of trips can therefore becalculated by summing the weights' values of the contacts.

Nationality The nationality of the contact is recorded for all contacts.Country visited1 The main country of visit (or country stayed in the longest) by UK residents is recorded for arrivals and departures.Residence1 The country of residence of overseas residents is recorded for both arrivals and departures.Town of residence The town or area of residence is recorded for UK residents for arrivals.

States of residence Each year, the state or area within a country is recorded for overseas residents in addition to their country of residence. This

detail is limited to four countries each year which are changed annually. In 2007 the countries are Canada, Germany, the Irish

Republic and Japan.Purpose of visit1 A single main purpose of visit is recorded for UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior to 2007 it

was available for all contacts.S tay 1 The length of stay of the visit is recorded in nights. This is only available for overseas residents' departures and UK

residents' arrivals.Expenditure1 The amount of money spent on the trip (excluding fares) is recorded in £ sterling and is available for overseas residents'

departures and UK residents' arrivals.UK port The UK port is the airport, or the sea/tunnel port or route where the interview was conducted.First port This is the overseas port to which the contact is travelling directly (or travelled directly from). If the person does not change

plane during the trip, 'First port' is also the final destination (for departures) or where the visit started from (for arrivals).Second port If 'First port' is a port where the contact changed planes, 'Second port' then records the final destination (for departures) or

the place where the visit started from (for arrivals). It is otherwise left blank.Flight origin/destination This is an overseas airport which is either the final destination of the flight being taken (for air departures) or where the flight

originated from (for air arrivals). This is not necessarily the same port at which the contact boarded or left the flight.Mileage travelled The distance travelled is computed in miles from the geographical locations of the ports recorded. The distances represent the

sea level (or 'great circle') distances covered. Three distances are calculated:- from the 'UK port' to 'First port' (for all air contacts);- from 'First port' to 'Second port' (if a second port is recorded);- from 'Second port' to 'UK port' (if a second port is recorded).

Carrier This is the air company or shipping line used on the leg of the journey between the 'UK port' and 'First port'. However, thecarrier used between 'First port' and 'Second port' is not recorded.

Class of travel Has been dropped from the IPS in 2007Type of flight The type of flight e.g. scheduled or charter (air records only).Fare The single fare in £ sterling is recorded for UK residents' arrivals only. Prior to 2007 it was recorded on UK residents'

departures.Vehicle type The type of vehicle taken on board ship or train is recorded. If no vehicle is used or cannot be identified, the contact is

recorded as being a foot passenger.Number in vehicle This is the number of people travelling in the vehicle recorded aboveAge1 The age group of the contact is asked and recorded for all UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior

to 2007 it was available for all contacts.Gender1 Sex is recorded for all UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior to 2007 it was available for all

contacts.Towns 1-5 For overseas residents' departures only, up to five towns in which the contact has spent at least one night are recorded.Stay 1-5 The number of nights spent in 'Towns 1-5' are recorded.Spend 1-5 Expenditure while in 'Towns 1-5' is not collected but is imputed based on total expenditure, length of stay and area of visit.Package1 This identifies whether the contact travelled as part of an inclusive tour package or travelled independently.Money spent The money spent on spirits, beer, wine, other alcohol and on tobacco being brought back into the UK by UK residents is

recorded.

The above list is not exhaustive and excludes variables based on questions not asked regularly on the IPS. Variables regarding data quality are also notincluded.1 Information based on these variables is included in the Travelpac datasets.

Notes to tables

1. The content, format and order of tables in this editionof MQ6 differs from earlier editions. Changes havebeen made to ensure that information published inMQ6 is consistent and compatible with that which willbe available in other IPS publications and also to reflectthe recent changes in the makeup of the EU. Fouradditional tables are included which show visits bycountry of residence and nationality for overseasresidents on visits to the UK and visits by country visitedand nationality for UK residents on visits abroad.

2. Table 5: Overseas earnings and expenditure at constant(1995) prices - includes estimates for the ChannelI s l ands .

3. Table 7: Nights spent abroad by UK residents - includes cruisesallocated to ‘Other Areas’ (see note 27 on page 32).

Definitions1. The figures relate to the number of visits, not number of

visitors. Anyone entering or leaving more than once in the sameperiod is counted on each visit. The count of visits relates toUnited Kingdom residents returning to this country and tooverseas residents leaving it.

2. Day-visits (i.e trips that do not involve an overnight stay)abroad by UK residents as well as day trips to the UK by overseasresidents are included in the figures for visits and expenditure.Details of such visits are shown separately in Tables 8-11 and18-20 under the heading ‘day visits’. Please note they do notcover day visits to or from the Irish Republic across the landborder, although they are included in total visits. For overseasresidents in transit through the UK see note 9.

3. An Overseas visitor means a person who being permanentlyresident in a country outside the United Kingdom visits theUnited Kingdom for a period of less than 12 months. UnitedKingdom citizens resident overseas for 12 months or morecoming home on leave are included in this category. Visitsabroad are visits for a period of less than 12 months by peoplepermanently resident in the United Kingdom (who may be offoreign nationality).

4. When a resident of the United Kingdom has visited more thanone country the entire visit, expenditure and stay are allocatedto the country stayed in for the longest time.

5. Visits for miscellaneous purposes include those for study, toattend sporting events, for shopping, health, religious or forother purposes, together with visits for more than one purposewhen none predominates (eg visits both on business and onholiday). Overseas visitors staying overnight in the UK en routeto other destinations are also included in miscellaneouspurposes.

6. Estimates relating to tourist flows across the land borderbetween the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland are, forconvenience, included in the figures for sea. Where not shownseparately, flows through the Channel Tunnel are also includedunder the figures for sea.

Regional Analysis (Table 13). The information relating tovisitors using the land border from the Irish Republic is notcollected and so is excluded from the table. Also excluded(except from the ‘Total’ section) are all visits that did notinclude an overnight stay in the United Kingdom. Visits byoverseas residents to Northern Ireland although included in the‘total’ column are not separately analysed. More than oneregion can be visited by an individual whilst in the UnitedKingdom and so the total of the visits to all the regions willtherefore sometimes be greater than the total number of visitsto the United Kingdom.

7. Adjustments are made to the reported cost of an inclusivetour so that only the amount earned by the country of visit (e.g.accommodation costs, car hire, etc.) is included. This estimateis then added to an individual’s spending to give the totalspending in the country of visit (see also note 9).

8. Length of stay for UK residents covers the time spent,including the journey outside the United Kingdom, whilst foroverseas residents it refers to the time spent within the UnitedKingdom.

9. Earnings and expenditure figures cover the same categoriesof travellers as do the number of visits except that in additionthe earnings figures include the expenditure by same daytransit passengers, and the foreign exchange earnings andexpenditure due to travel relating to the Channel Islands. Theyexclude payments for air, sea and rail travel to and from theUnited Kingdom. For any traveller on an inclusive tour anestimate of the return fare is deducted from the total tour price.

10. Earnings do not include the personal export of cars that havebeen purchased in the United Kingdom by overseas residents.Similarly spending excludes the personal import of cars by UKresidents.

11. An estimate for purchases by overseas visitors at airport duty-free shops is included in the figures for earnings. Suchpurchases on British carriers are still excluded.

Sample methodology

21 The IPS produces estimates that are based on interviews with astratified random sample of passengers entering and leaving theUnited Kingdom on the principle air, tunnel and sea routes. Themain features of the stratification are: mode of transport (i.e.air, tunnel or sea), port and time of day.

22. The frequency of sampling within each stratum depends mainlyon the variation of tourist expenditure and on the volume ofmigrants, for which the survey is also used to collect statistics.Travellers passing through passport control are randomly selectedfor interview and in all some 259,000 interviews wereconducted in 2007. Only interviews carried out at theend of a visit are used to generate estimates ofexpenditure and stay. Of these interviews around 54,000provided the published information on foreign visitorsto the UK and around 62,000 were used for the estimateof UK residents travelling abroad. The interviews wereconducted on a purely voluntary and anonymous basis.

23 . Despite the introduction in April 1999 of interviewing onair and sea routes to and from the Irish Republic (seenotes 34 & 35), the results from the IPS are stillsupplemented with estimates of travel between theUnited Kingdom and the Irish Republic over the landborder where no IPS interviewing takes place. Estimatesfor travel by land are based on information provided bythe Central Statistics Office of the Irish Republic.Estimates of earnings and expenditure are alsosupplemented with figures from the Economic Advisor'sOffice of the States of Jersey, who provide informationabout the Channel Islands.

24 . About 90 percent of passengers entering and leavingthe United Kingdom (excluding those travelling by landto and from the Irish Republic) travel on routes coveredby the survey. The remainder are either passengerstravelling at night when interviewing is suspended, oron those routes too small in volume to be covered. Forthose passengers, estimates are made and input intothe main results of the survey.

25 . At the major airports a sample of half days is taken anda fixed proportion of passengers is interviewed, whilstthe smaller airports are sampled occasionally with thenumber of visits depending on the number ofinternational passengers.

26 . On the sea routes either particular cross-channelsailings are sampled and a fixed proportion ofpassengers interviewed on board, or a sample of daysis taken and the passengers interviewed on thequays ide .

27 . In all, approximately 259,000 travellers (0.13 per centof the total travellers) were interviewed in 2007; thisproportion varies from port to port. At Heathrow airportit was approx 95 thousand (0.22 per cent of all travellers).Gatwick 27 thousand (0.8 per cent) were interviewed,at Manchester approx 19 thousand (0.1 per cent) andat Stansted 23 thousand (0.11 per cent) . At all otherairports there were 48 thousand interviews (0.03 percent). On the sea routes sampled, there were approx 17thousand interviews (0.07 per cent of all traffic). On theChannel tunnel routes 24 thousand (0.14 per cent)were interviewed in 2007.

28 . UK residents who left a cruise boat at a foreign port andreturned home on a scheduled air or sea service (e.g.fly-cruises) are included in the IPS. Information on thenumber of passengers on those cruises finishing inthe United Kingdom is collected by the Department forTransport and this with the estimates of their length ofstay and expenditure is added to the cruise datacollected from the IPS and included under the headingsfor ‘other areas’, ‘holiday’, and ‘sea’.

29 . A complex weighting procedure is used in the surveyresults taking account of passenger movementstatistics produced by the BAA plc and the Civil AviationAuthority for air traffic and by the Department forTransport for sea traffic. For Heathrow, Gatwick andManchester allowances are made for passengers intransit who do not pass through passport control andhence do not cross the IPS counting line.

30. As the information is collected by a sample survey, theestimates of the number of visits, length of stay andexpenditure are subject to a sampling error. Generallyspeaking, the larger the sample supporting a particularestimate, the smaller its sampling error. However, asthe intensity of the sampling varies at each port, figuresof a similar magnitude will not necessarily have thesame percentage sampling error.

31 . The errors quoted below relate to those for a stratifiedrandom sample. In the past, the accuracy of IPSestimates has been quoted in terms of 'simple'sampling errors, which have not fully taken into accountthe clustered sample design of the survey. Recentresearch, however, has allowed the full effects of thecomplex sample design upon each of the mainestimates to be calculated, and it is these newlycalculated 'complex' sampling errors which are quotedbelow.

32 . The sampling errors of IPS estimates are given interms of an interval in to which there are 19 chances outof 20 that the true figure will fall. This is known as a 95%confidence interval; the estimate plus or minus thepercentage quoted gives the appropriate interval.

33 . The estimate of the total number of overseas residents'visits to the UK (excluding land based visits from theIrish Republic) in 2007 as a whole had a 95% confidenceinterval of + 3.0 per cent. Total visitor-nights and totalearnings for the year had 95% confidence intervals of+ 3.9 per cent and + 2.6 per cent respectively. By quarter,the estimated confidence intervals for the total numberof visits varied between + 5.7 per cent in quarter one and+ 6.2 per cent in quarter two. On average, confidenceintervals for visitor-nights and earnings by quarter were+ 7.9 per cent and + 5.2 per cent respectively.

34 . The estimate of the total number of UK residents' visitsabroad (excluding land based visits to the Irish Republic)in 2007 as a whole had a 95% confidence interval of +1.5 per cent. Total visitor-nights and total expenditurefor the year had 95% confidence intervals of +2.1 percent and + 1.9 per cent respectively. By quarter, theestimated confidence intervals for the total number ofvisits varied between + 2.6 per cent for quarter three and+ 3.1 per cent for quarter four. On average, confidenceintervals for visitor-nights and earnings by quarter were+ 4.4 per cent and + 3.9 per cent respectively.

Important change in IPS sampling

35. The IPS commenced interviewing on air and sea routes to andfrom the Irish Republic in April 1999. Results for 1999 shownin this edition have been revised from previously publishedestimates following the use and analysis of records producedby interviews conducted on these new routes. The inclusion ofthe Irish routes in the IPS sample creates a discontinuity in theresults and so additional care must be taken when making timeseries analyses of the data or when comparing the results withpreviously published data.

36. The inclusion of the Irish routes sample does not simply adjustthe numbers of visits made to the UK by residents to the IrishRepublic and to the Irish Republic by UK residents. The newsample shows that many trips are made on these routes byresidents of regions other then the UK or the Irish Republic,which means that estimates of visits and spending for somecountries other than the Irish Republic have also been subjectto revision.

37. Traffic at all airports and seaports is monitored regularly toassess if they should be included in the IPS sample. As aconsequence Liverpool and Prestwick airports were introducedinto the sample at the beginning of 2005. Between 2000 and2004, traffic through Liverpool had quadrupled to over twoand half million international passengers, while at Prestwickthere was a five fold increase to nearly one and half millionpassengers over the same period. The inclusion of these portsin the IPS sample were shown to cause a discontinuity inregional results and methodology was modified to account forthis. More details can be found at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/about/methodology_by_theme/gini/Int_passenger_survey.asp.Similarly in early 2007 each of Doncaster, Bournmouth,Southhamption and Heathrow Terminal 5 were added to thesample.

Changes to the MQ6 publication in 2007

38. Due to the expansion of the EU in January 2007. This and futurepublications of MQ6 will reflect the change by including theEU27 countries in the tables.

Changes to the method of imputing expenditure

39. The methods of computing expenditure (imputation) for caseswhere no expenditure information is given by the contactchanged in 2007. The new method takes account of theduration of stay of the contact which had not been the casepreviously and means there may be a discontinuity in theexpenditure series from 2006 to 2007.

The new methodology compensates for possible overestimatesof spending which may have arisen in the past due to theaverage daily spending being generally lower on longer tripsthan on shorter ones.

Changes to the method of imputing fares

40. The costs of a package trip normally include fares to and fromthe country of visit. For expenditure estimates the fares arededucted from the cost of a package in order to obtain theamount of spending on the visit. The manual method of lookingup fares from brochures and from the web has been replacedin 2007 by an automated system which uses fares dataprovided by the respondant.

The full IPS dataset contains over 110 variables. These include variables containing answers to the questions asked in the interview and others thatare derived from those answers. Some variables are simply indicators to help identify the quality of data or to show where data have been imputed,and to what degree. The most widely-used variables for general analyses are described below.

Variable Name DescriptionYear1 The year of the interview is recorded as a four digit number.Quarter1 The four quarters of the calendar year are recorded as a single digit.Month The month of interview is recorded as two digits from 01-12.Flow1 Flow describes the direction of travel and the basic residence of traveller. Flow is differentiated further according to whether

the contact travelled by a) air, or b) by sea or Channel Tunnel. This gives eight categories of flow these being:- arrivals by UK residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- departures by UK residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- arrivals by overseas residents (air, or sea/tunnel);- departures by overseas residents (air, or sea/tunnel).

Weight1 The number of trips represented by each contact is given by the weight variable. The total number of trips can therefore becalculated by summing the weights' values of the contacts.

Nationality The nationality of the contact is recorded for all contacts.Country visited1 The main country of visit (or country stayed in the longest) by UK residents is recorded for arrivals and departures.Residence1 The country of residence of overseas residents is recorded for both arrivals and departures.Town of residence The town or area of residence is recorded for UK residents for arrivals.

States of residence Each year, the state or area within a country is recorded for overseas residents in addition to their country of residence. This

detail is limited to four countries each year which are changed annually. In 2007 the countries are Canada, Germany, the Irish

Republic and Japan.Purpose of visit1 A single main purpose of visit is recorded for UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior to 2007 it

was available for all contacts.S tay 1 The length of stay of the visit is recorded in nights. This is only available for overseas residents' departures and UK

residents' arrivals.Expenditure1 The amount of money spent on the trip (excluding fares) is recorded in £ sterling and is available for overseas residents'

departures and UK residents' arrivals.UK port The UK port is the airport, or the sea/tunnel port or route where the interview was conducted.First port This is the overseas port to which the contact is travelling directly (or travelled directly from). If the person does not change

plane during the trip, 'First port' is also the final destination (for departures) or where the visit started from (for arrivals).Second port If 'First port' is a port where the contact changed planes, 'Second port' then records the final destination (for departures) or

the place where the visit started from (for arrivals). It is otherwise left blank.Flight origin/destination This is an overseas airport which is either the final destination of the flight being taken (for air departures) or where the flight

originated from (for air arrivals). This is not necessarily the same port at which the contact boarded or left the flight.Mileage travelled The distance travelled is computed in miles from the geographical locations of the ports recorded. The distances represent the

sea level (or 'great circle') distances covered. Three distances are calculated:- from the 'UK port' to 'First port' (for all air contacts);- from 'First port' to 'Second port' (if a second port is recorded);- from 'Second port' to 'UK port' (if a second port is recorded).

Carrier This is the air company or shipping line used on the leg of the journey between the 'UK port' and 'First port'. However, thecarrier used between 'First port' and 'Second port' is not recorded.

Class of travel Has been dropped from the IPS in 2007Type of flight The type of flight e.g. scheduled or charter (air records only).Fare The single fare in £ sterling is recorded for UK residents' arrivals only. Prior to 2007 it was recorded on UK residents'

departures.Vehicle type The type of vehicle taken on board ship or train is recorded. If no vehicle is used or cannot be identified, the contact is

recorded as being a foot passenger.Number in vehicle This is the number of people travelling in the vehicle recorded aboveAge1 The age group of the contact is asked and recorded for all UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior

to 2007 it was available for all contacts.Gender1 Sex is recorded for all UK residents' arrivals and Overseas residents' departures. Prior to 2007 it was available for all

contacts.Towns 1-5 For overseas residents' departures only, up to five towns in which the contact has spent at least one night are recorded.Stay 1-5 The number of nights spent in 'Towns 1-5' are recorded.Spend 1-5 Expenditure while in 'Towns 1-5' is not collected but is imputed based on total expenditure, length of stay and area of visit.Package1 This identifies whether the contact travelled as part of an inclusive tour package or travelled independently.Money spent The money spent on spirits, beer, wine, other alcohol and on tobacco being brought back into the UK by UK residents is

recorded.

The above list is not exhaustive and excludes variables based on questions not asked regularly on the IPS. Variables regarding data quality are also notincluded.1 Information based on these variables is included in the Travelpac datasets.
