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).

All data based on sample methods show a certain degree of unreliability. A sampling error is shown in table III. 3 in the First Release No. 4.3.1/2 entitled “Hotels and Restaurants, second quarter of 2009”.
