(iv) Cruise passengers

PAGE 6 NOTES

Cruise passengers are those visitors to a country who arrive and
depart on the same ship, and are frequently the subject of a separate
classification. Where this is not the case IUOTO has suggested that
cruise passengers be treated as "excursionists" if their overnight accommodation
 is on board ship, and as "tourists" insofar as they make use of
accommodation facilities ashore, regardless of length of stay.
(b) International tourist receipts
These are defined as the receipts of a country in the form of consumption
 expenditures, i.e. payments for goods and services, made by foreign
 tourists out of foreign currency resources. They may, in practice,
also include receipts from foreign excursionists or day visitors, except
in cases where these are so important as to justify separate classification,
 They should however exclude all forms of remuneration resulting
From employment, as well as international fare receipts. This category
corresponds to "Travel Credits" in the standard reporting form of the
International Monetary Fund.
(c) International tourist expenditure

These are defined as consumption expenditures i.e. payments for
goods and services, by own residents in foreign countries they have
visited. They may, in practice, also include expenditures of own residents
 as foreign excursionists or day visitors except where these are so
important as to justify separate classification. They should, however,
exclude all forms of remuneration resulting from employment as well as
international fare payments. This category corresponds to "Travel Debits"
in the standard reporting form of the International Monetary Fund.

(d) International fare receipts and payments
(i) Receipts

These are defined as all payments for international travel made to
carriers registered in the compiling country by foreign nationals, whether
coming to that country or not. This category corresponds to "Other Transportation
 Passenger Services Credits" in the standard reporting form of the
International Monetary Fund.
(ii) Payments

These are defined as all payments for international travel made to
carriers registered outside the compiling country by residents of that
country. This categorv corresponds to "Other Transportation Passenger
Services Debits" in the standard reporting form of the International Monerary
 Fund.
Capacity in accommcdation establishments
For purposes of classification, IUOTO distinguishes between the
hotel industry proper, that is, hotels, motels, boarding houses
and inns; supplementary means of accommodation, that is, youth
hostels, camping sites, recreation centres for children, holijay
 villages, mountain shelters, rented villas, apartments and
