Presented at the  UNWTO Statistics Capacity Building Programme

III WorkshopJohannesburg, South Africa, 23‐26 November 2009

IntroductionZambia is largely a copper producing country

About 70 % of total export earnings are from copper and copper related products

Government’s policy is to diversify the economy through Agriculture and TourismA significant part of the Tourism Sector is the Hotels, Bars and RestaurantsCurrently this industry contributes only 3 % to the total GDP

EstimationValue added for this industry is presented at constant and current pricesFor the constant price series, the volume indicator used for hotels is changes in bed occupancy rates to extrapolate the 1994 benchmark estimates

Data SourcesTraditionally, Ministry of TourismHowever, last few years, the ministry has had no capacity to collect these dataSometimes alternative indicators used to fill this gap

Visitor arrivals at Livingstone and Mfuwe airports (tourist resorts)

Beginning 2009, CSO started conducting the “Monthly Accommodation Survey”

Data CollectionThe CSO maintains a cadre of staff in all the provinces whose main job is to collect economic statistics, including accommodation statisticsData collected directly from respondents through personal visits by CSO staffThe completed questionnaires from all provinces are transmitted to the National Accounts Branch for data entry and processingData capturing system designed in MS Access

Variables CollectedReporting periodContact detailsType of establishmentEmployment (by sex)Bed and room occupancyOccupancy by place of originPurpose of visitIncome and expenses

Frame DevelopmentFrame developed using three different sources

VAT register of taxpayersCSO employment registerMinistry of Tourism registerListing of establishments by staff in all the 9 provinces of Zambia

Currently about 650 establishments 

ImprovementsHigher figures compared to the projections provided by the Ministry of TourismOccupancy rates calculated on a monthly basisExpanded scope in terms of number of establishments

New frame has more establishments than either the VAT, CSO or Ministry of Tourism registers

ChallengesLow budgetary allocation

Though referred to as “Monthly” Accommodation Survey, not always carried out on a monthly basisSometimes combined with other economic surveys such as the Index of Industrial Production

Tourism Survey meant to benchmark estimates yet to be carried out

Planned Tourism SurveyThe Tourism sector is not an explicitly identifiable industry as it cuts across several industriesThese include, but not limited to, accommodation, transportation, food and beverages, recreation and entertainment and travel arrangement services.  Tourism Survey (in the framework of a TSA) needed to benchmark Tourism sector activitiesTo be carried out as part of the second phase of the Economic Census

Planned Tourism SurveyWill set the benchmark estimatesIndicators surveys such as the Monthly Accommodation Survey to be used to extrapolate the benchmarkVolume indicators for accommodation, transportation and food and beverages existNeed to develop surveys for recreation and entertainment, and for travel agents

OutlookTo become a regular part of the CSO monthly calendar of surveysProduce monthly accommodation indexSignificant part of the planned Annual Tourism SurveyHarmonisation of institutional arrangements: CSO, Central Bank, Zambia Tourism Board and Ministry of TourismRegular updating of sampling frame (planned to be done quarterly)Development of a System of Tourism Statistics
