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.

 

Data on all tradesmen refer to all activities, both principal and auxiliary ones, possibly performed by tradesmen.

 

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. Reporting units for this survey were hotel and restaurant business entities (state-owned, privately owned, cooperatively owned, in mixed ownership and in non-existing ownership; parts of business entities not engaged in hotel and restaurant activities (institutions, foundations, clubs etc.); founders of vacation facilities for children and youths (Red Cross, social care centres, schools, pupil and student organisations etc.); health care organisations, (code 86.1 according to the NKD 2007.) referring to their facilities  offering medical rehabilitation services and advantages of natural factors (water, air, altitude etc.) as well as other organisations engaged in health and re-creative tourism (users are charged for services); organisations that founded, or take care of, mountain lodges; business entities engaged in transport (sleeping cars and couchettes); business entities offering facilities for school children’s outdoor sojourns.

 

The Address Book of Reporting Units has been formed on the basis of the Register of Business Entities. It is updated every year according to the Fina data (annual report on income tax, the most recent situation in 2007).

 

Since 2009, a new classification of activities (NKD 2007.) has been in use. This change of the classification as well as continuous updating of the Statistical Business Register affect the comparability of data with previous periods.

 

The Quarterly Report on Hotel and Restaurant for Tradesmen (UG-11/OBRT form) include tradesmen selected by a random sample method, registered by their prevailing activity into section I of the NKD 2007. Sample stratification was based on the prevailing activity of the tradesmen according to the NKD 2007. The database of income tax payers of the Tax Administration Office of the Ministry of Finance served as a sample framework. It consists of all tradesmen registered in section I of the NKD 2007.

 

Tradesmen who perform a hotel and restaurant activity, but are registered in other sections of the NKD 2007. by their prevailing activity, are excluded from the framework and, therefore, they were not taken into account when the whole group was estimated. Data by counties are calculated according to headquarters of a craft.

 

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”. Apart from the sampling error, data are influenced by non-sampling error due to obsolete frameworks and its errors, errors in data reporting as well as errors occurring during data editing and estimation process.
