Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
This survey provides data on domestic tourism activity during the period January 2010 - December 2010. For, this in addition to the basic demographic information collected in the majority of household surveys conducted by Statistics South Africa, the DTS covers five areas specifically related to travel and expenditure patterns. These include trips taken by the household, domestic day trips by the respondent and/or other household members, domestic day trips by other household members (without the respondent), domestic overnight trips by the respondent and/or other household members, domestic overnight trips by other household members (without the respondent).
Sample survey data [ssd]
The units of analysis in the Domestic Tourism Survey are households and individuals

Coverage
National coverage
The lowest level of geographic aggregation covered by the data is province.
The target population of the survey consists of all private households and residents in workers' hostels in the nine provinces of South Africa. The survey does not cover other collective living quarters such as students' hostels, oldage homes, hospitals, prisons and military barracks and is therefore only representative of non-institutionalised and non-military persons in South Africa.

Sampling
For the Domestic Tourism Survey 2011 Statistics South Africa used a sample design developed by their Methodology and Evaluation division. This sample frame can be used as a general-purpose household survey frame for all household surveys, irrespective of the sample size requirement of the survey. Stats SA's household-based surveys use a master sample (MS) of 3 080 primary sampling units (PSUs) made up from the 80 787 enumeration areas (EAs) created for the 2001 Population Census.
The master sample used a two-stage, a stratified design with probability-proportional-to-size (PPS) sampling of PSUs from within strata, and systematic sampling of dwelling units (DUs) from the sampled primary sampling units (PSUs). A self-weighting design at provincial level was used and MS stratification was divided into two levels, primary and secondary stratification. Primary stratification was defined by metropolitan and non-metropolitan geographic area type. During secondary stratification, the Census 2001 data were summarised at PSU level. The following variables were used for secondary stratification; household size, education, occupancy status, gender, industry and income.
Sampling weights for the data collected from the sampled households are constructed so that responses can be expanded appropriately to represent the entire population of South Africa. The weights are the result of calculations involving several factors, including design weights, adjustment for non-response, and benchmarking to known population estimates from the Demographic Analysis division of Stats SA. The final survey weights are constructed by calibrating the adjusted base weight to the known population counts at national and provincial levels (which are supplied by the Demographic Analysis division of Statistics SA), cross-classified by 5-year age groups (0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 55-59, 60-64, and 65 and over), gender and race. The provincial population estimates are cross-classifiedby broad age groups (0-14, 15-34, 35-64, and 65 years and over). The calibrated weights are constructed to ensure that all persons in a household have the same final weight (integrated weighting).
