Disaggregating National Tourism Data to Regional Areas

This paper reports on the development and application of a methodology to convert large scale data such as the International Visitor Survey (IVS) and the National Visitor Survey (NVS) into a format that can be used at the local level. The most significant contribution of this disaggregation technique is that it can bring a wide body of data including all that which is incorporated in the IVS and NVS as well as Census and other geographically based data into a highly focused analysis of a small, local area; an activity which has not been feasible with existing public datasets.
