NOTES ON THE STATISTICAL TABLES

L. Care should be taken when reading the statistical tables
to distinguish between "tourist" and "visitor" (tourist and
excursionist) arrivals at frontiers:

The term "visitor" has been used when the arrival statistics
 include visitors staying for more and less than twenty-Four
 hours (tourists and excursionists).

The term "tourist" has been applied to arrival statistics
where the definition of those travellers included in the statistics
 conforms, or very nearly conforms, to the definition of a
"tourist" as recommended by the United Nations Conference on
international Travel and Tourism, Rome 1963. Thus, "tourist"
arrivals do not include arrivals of visitors staying for less
than twenty-four hours or not staying overnight (excursionists).

2. Comparisons of tourist arrivals at frontiers and tourist
arrivals in accommodation establishments should take account of
factors of non-coverage and multiple registration which occur
in the compilation of tourist arrivals in accommodation. To
facilitate such comparisons the class of "accommodation estab-Llishments"
 is further sub-divided into the "hotel industry",
that is hotels, motels, boarding houses and inns, and "supplementary
 accommodation", that is youth hostels, camping sites,
rented rooms, villas and apartments, holiday centres, mountain
huts, sanatoria and convalescent homes. Arrival statistics
confined to the hotel industry are, therefore, referred to as
"hotel arrivals", while those recorded in the hotel industry,
as well as a substantial proportion of supplementary accommodation
 are referred to as "accommodation arrivals".

3. Statistics of visitor and tourist arrivals to a country or
to an accommodation establishment do not take account of
