NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

 

Sources and methods of data collection

The source of data on hotel and restaurant activity are regular statistical reports: the Quarterly Report on Hotel and Restaurant Activity for Legal Entities (UG-11 form) and the Quarterly Report on Hotel and Restaurant Activity for Tradesmen (UG-11/OBRT form).

 

The reporting method is used in conveying the surveys. The Quarterly Report for Legal Entities comprises all enterprises/trade companies and their parts that are engaged in the hotel and restaurant activity. The Quarterly Report on Hotel and Restaurant Activity for Tradesmen comprises natural persons (tradesmen).

 

The sampling method is used in conveying the Quarterly Report for Tradesmen survey. The results obtained through this report serve as a base for estimation of the whole group.

 

Methodology is based on the Eurostat’s Council Regulations (EC) Concerning Short-Term Statistics, 1998.

Coverage and comparability

 

The Quarterly Report on Hotel and Restaurant Activity (UG-11 form) cover all legal entities (enterprises/trade companies) and parts thereof that are engaged in the hotel and restaurant activity.
