Research - TVS Introduction
Tasmanian Visitor Survey
The
Tasmanian Visitor Survey (TVS) was first conducted in 1978 and
then intermittently through the early and mid 1980's. In 1988
the TVS became an annual survey.
The TVS is designed to provide a profile of the characteristics, travel behaviour, and expenditure of international and domestic visitors to Tasmania.
The TVS is acknowledged as the most reliable source of statistical data about visitors to Tasmania; being based on a sample of more than 9000 visitors to Tasmania per year.
The TVS also collects a wider variety of data about visitors to Tasmania than other visitor surveys; being an island State means that visitors can be accurately counted as they depart via Tasmania’s air and sea ports. This is a natural advantage for data collection, and makes the TVS methodology very robust.
The data collected in the TVS is provided to the Tasmanian tourism industry and to government agencies to facilitate and promote the development of the industry.
Latest TVS results are intregrated into the following report:
