2 NSO surveys to map tourism trends from July 1
Lucknow: To understand how people spend on tourism and how they travel, the National Statistical Office (NSO) will conduct two surveys from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. These are the Domestic Tourism Expenditure Survey (DTES) and the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS). The DTES will collect information about how much people spend on tourism, while the NHTS will study how people travel—like which transport they use, why they travel and how often. These surveys will help govt make better tourism and transport policies and create special data tools like the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) and Origin-Destination Matrix (OD) for ministries such as tourism and railways. To train officers for these surveys, a three-day Regional Training Camp (RTC) began on Wednesday and was inaugurated by Manoj Kumar, director (DDG), zone and Suchita Gupta, director, SCRO Lucknow. Suchita said the DTES is part of the NSS and will help build the TSA, which matches global standards and supports the Ministry of Tourism in giving data to international organisations like UNWTO. Director Mohammad Tayyab highlighted the need to collect good quality data and follow proper methods. He encouraged officers to stay alert and careful during the work.
