A Report on 'Domestic Tourism Expenditure' A Report on ‘Domestic Tourism Expenditure’ In Uttar Pradesh Based on Pooled Data (Central and State Sample) of 72nd Round NSS Schedule 21.1 (July 2014 to June 2015) ECONOMICS AND STATISTICS DIVISION PLANNING DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF UTTAR PRADESH LUCKNOW Website: http://updes.up.nic.in Email: [email protected] PREFACE The Seventy second round of NSSO (July 2014 to June 2015) was devoted exclusively for collection of data on 'Domestic Tourism Expenditure'. Uttar Pradesh State is a partner in NSS surveys since 9th round (1955), generally on equal matching basis of samples. The present report on "A Report on ‘Domestic Tourism Expenditure’ In Uttar Pradesh" is based on the result of pooled data of central and state sample of Uttar Pradesh. National Statistical Commission constituted a professional committee under the Chairmanship of Prof. R.Radhakrishna, to identify the preconditions for pooling of Central and State Sample NSS data, to suggest appropriate methodology for pooling the data and to bridge the data gaps and in turn strengthen the database for decentralized planning and governance. The necessity for pooling the Central and State sample data arose due to the growing need for improving the precision of estimates of policy parameters such as the labour force participation, level of living and well being, incidence of poverty, State Domestic Product (SDP), District Domestic Product(DDP) etc., and for strengthening the database at district level required for decentralized governance. Accordingly the NSC professional committee has recommended certain poolability tests and the methodologies for pooling of Central and State sample data of NSS. In the workshop which was held on 19th and 20thSeptember 2018 at Kolkata, it was demonstrated about the poolability tests and pooling the two sets of data and estimating the parameters based on two methods- (1) Matching ratio method and (2) Inverse Weight of the Variance of estimates method. I am thankful to the officers of DPD, NSSO for their valuable technical guidance regarding pooling activity at different stages. Uttar Pradesh State has prepared present report on Pooled estimates of Central and State sample data of NSS 72nd round on various parameters of Domestic Tourism such as 'Overnight visitor-trips completed during last 365 days and 30 days', 'Overnight trips by leading purpose (Holiday, Health& Shopping) completed during last 365 days', 'Overnight trips by leading purpose (Business, social, Religious, Education & Other) completed during last 30 days', 'Average expenditure (in Rs.) per overnight trip completed during last 365 days', 'Number of same-day trips completed during last 30 days', 'Number of same-day trip reporting expenditure during last 30 days'. Comments and valuable suggestions from the researchers and scholars on this report are most welcome.

  • Advisory Support for the Development of the Buddhist Circuit in South Asia
    Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized ADVISORY SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUDDHIST CIRCUIT IN SOUTH ASIA Enhancing Opportunities for Private Sector Investment Public Disclosure Authorized in the Buddhist Circuit in South Asia TECHNICAL NOTE ON INVESTMENT ENTRY RESTRICTIONS IN TOURISM RELATED SERVICES IN INDIA November 2017 Public Disclosure Authorized Acknowledgements South Asian Buddhist heritage is indisputably one of the most important in the world. Several places in the region are directly linked to the historical Buddha’s life and the spread of his philosophy around the world. Despite the spiritual value of these places and their historical linkages, they have not been successfully developed, managed or promoted as an integrated whole in the way that other, similarly significant places around the world have.1 As a result, only a small fraction (0.005%) of the world’s 500 million Buddhists visit the key Buddhist sites of South Asia each year. Recognizing this, South Asian countries are committed to developing their Buddhist heritage as a holistic and inclusive pilgrimage route and tourism product. To this end, countries across the region have requested the World Bank’s advisory and technical support based on its long experience in unlocking tourism for lasting poverty reduction and inclusive growth goals. In response, the World Bank, with the financial support of the Government of Australia, has formulated and is implementing a Technical Assistance for the Development of the Buddhist Circuit, which this study is part of. This report was prepared under the overall guidance of Stefania Abakerli (Sr. Urban Development Planner and Coordinator of the Program for the Development of the Buddhist Circuit at the World Bank) by the Investment Policy and Promotion Team of The World Bank.
