19-21 November 2008
OECD headquarters, Paris (France)
This meeting is organised by the French Ministry in charge of tourism, the National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies of France (INSEE), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Statistical Office of the European Communities (EUROSTAT).
The International Forum on Tourism Statistics provides, since 1993, a unique platform for the regular exchange of views and experiences on developments in tourism statistics. The aim is to discuss major technical issues concerning the establishment of harmonised tourism statistics in an environment that strengthens co-operation between governments, the private sector, researchers, academics, OECD and EU member and non-member countries, and international organisations.
The 9th Forum will focus on the following themes:
i) Changes in tourism behaviour and demand.
ii) The behaviour and performance of tourism enterprises.
iii) Measurement issues related to tourist and visitor surveys.
iv) New approaches to data collection.
v) The usage of tourism statistics.
It will examine current and future developments relating to these themes and their relevance for decision-making by government and enterprises. The aim is to ensure that the conclusions drawn from discussions lead to new improvements to tourism-related statistics and information in terms of, for example, ease of use, comparability and availability.
More information on the forum will be available at www.forumstat.tourisme.gouv.fr.
