NOTES


INTRODUCTION

This publication presents results of the 2003-04 Tourism Marketing Expenditure Survey. The objective of the survey was to provide broad information about the level of expenditure by Australian private sector businesses on the marketing of Australian tourism domestically and internationally. Expenditure on the marketing of outbound tourism was excluded from the survey.


The scope of the 2003-04 Tourism Marketing Expenditure Survey was predominantly private sector businesses that were mainly engaged in the following tourism related activities:

  • accommodation
  • car hire
  • casino operation
  • coach operation
  • convention/exhibition centre operation
  • cruise operation
  • domestic air passenger transport
  • duty free retailing
  • inbound tour operation
  • rail passenger transport
  • theme park/major attraction operation
  • tour operation.

The survey results only relate to a partial coverage of the selected tourism related activities. Smaller businesses were excluded entirely from the survey. Further information on the scope and coverage can be found in paragraphs 2-4 of the Explanatory Notes.



COMPARISONS WITH PREVIOUS SURVEY RESULTS

Comparisons have not been made with results of similar surveys conducted previously by the ABS due to significant changes in the scope and coverage for the 2003-04 survey. For more information refer to paragraphs 11-12 of the Explanatory Notes.
