Introduction
1.1 Background
India, a tourism hotspot in the world, has a large bouquet of visitor
attractions to boast of. Its widespread diversity has always attracted both
foreigners as well as its’ own citizens alike, to explore its mirth and gaiety
that it has to offer the world. Every nook and cranny of the country offers
exquisite as well as exclusive tourism resource which echoes heritage as
well as tradition of that particular area. There is hardly any country in the
world which offers such wide variety of tourism.
The total domestic and foreign visitors to the country for the year 2005 stood
at 382 Mn and 3.92 Mn respectively. For the year 2004 the total domestic
and foreign visitors to the country stood at 366 Mn and 3.46 Mn respectively
However, India’s percentage share in total world tourist visits still remains
paltry at 0.39% and its share in the total world tourism receipts stands at a
miniscule 0.69% (2005 fig.).
The main aim of the proposed survey was to collect relevant visitor related
statistics for understanding subtle trends related to visitors (both domestic
as well as foreign ones) in the State. Additionally it was also intended to
provide a comprehensive listing of available accommodation infrastructure
in prime visitor destinations in the State, including those of the unorganized
sector, for a period of 1 year. The survey along with an assessment of the
direct employment generated by the tourism sector, estimate the
expenditure patterns of visitors, visitor needs, preferences and satisfaction
levels with regard to the various available facilities in the State

where n = Sample size
H = Confidence level factor, also known as Zά
P = Proportion ratio
δ = Tolerance/ precision level
The Z values for the above equation at different levels of confidence were
as follows:-
The precision level for calculating the sample size was taken at 0.25.
In the state of Uttar Pradesh there are 43 destinations (list provided in the
previous chapter) the methodology adopted to collect monthly statistics is
as follows:
The term overnight visitors have been defined as “the tourists visiting the
destinations/locations and staying overnight”. In the report, the overnight
visitors have been further classified into domestic overnight visitors and
foreign overnight visitors and have been so referred to in the subsequent
chapters.
Considering the above figure as base, the sample size calculated using
the formulae indicated above, at 99% level of confidence was 11441.
Distributing the same over earmarked locations (43) over a period of 12
months, the no of visitors to be contacted in each location would be 22.
= 11441 / (12 × 35) = 22
The statistically derived sample size more or less matches if 0.05% of the
total visitors to the State of Uttar Pradesh is taken into account. The no. of
contacts to be made in each location comes to 22 in that calculation.
The term day tourist is defined as” tourists visiting the destination/location
for a single day and not staying overnight”
Certain areas had entry tickets. Estimation of day tourists for those
locations was done from the records of ticket sales in those locations.
For other locations which did not have entry tickets, an estimation
procedure was adopted, in which the proportion of day tourists was
calculated from the tourist interview. Finally using the records collated
from accommodation units and using weightage for the particular area, the
estimated no. of day tourists for a particular location was calculated.
