5 Appendix - Using & Interpreting the Scotland Visitor Survey Please use the following as guidance notes when interpreting the Scotland Visitor Survey: The Scotland Visitor Survey was carried out in 2011 and 2012 to gather information from holidaymakers in Scotland on their experiences of Scotland. The survey captured the views of leisure overnight visitors only (this could include Scots spending an overnight trip away from their normal place of residence, as well as UK and overseas visitors). People on a day trip from home, visitors whose main purpose was a business trip and cruise ship visitors were excluded. The Scotland Visitor Survey is a summer only survey, and due to the scale of the project it is not carried out for the full year. As such the results reflect the views of the main holiday season visitors who were in Scotland during June-September. Holidaymakers were recruited at locations in 14 different regions of Scotland (7 included in 2011 and 7 included in The islands groups of Orkney, Shetland & Outer Hebrides were excluded due to a separate visitor survey being undertaken for 2012/13). Between 5-10 locations per region were included to gain a spread of recruitment locations. Those recruited completed an online survey on their return home to allow respondents to provide details of their full holiday experience in Scotland. The main aim of the survey was to gather views on a wide range of topics to supplement data on tourism in Scotland which is gathered by the annual statistical surveys undertaken at a national level (The Great Britain Tourism Survey, which provides volume and value estimates of domestic tourism from within Scotland and the rest of Great Britain and The Office of National Statistics' International Passenger Survey, which provides details of tourism from abroad). The factsheets produced for the Scotland Visitor Survey report on 2 years data for the international markets (2011 and 2012) and one year s data for the regional fact sheets, dependent on the region covered in the fieldwork each year. The Visitor Survey does not gather information on volume or value of tourists to each region. For information on trips, and spend to Scotland or to regions of Scotland, please read the Tourism in Scotland fact sheet and regional fact sheets available on the Research & Statistics section of the corporate website The Visitor Survey is not intended to include visitors who are participating in specific activities as their main purpose of the trip (e.g. visitors in Scotland on specific golfing break who may not be found in the general recruitment locations). Further details of the methodology behind the survey are available within the main presentation slides made available on the Research & Statistics section of the corporate website The Scotland Visitor Survey was conducted for VisitScotland by TNS.
