Observation units Observation units are all business entities /legal units which are, by the main activity, registered in accommodation activity (division 55 - KD BiH 2010), persons as well as households that rent accommodation establishments to tourists. For the purpose of the survey, Classification of Activities in Bosnia and Herzegovina - KD BiH 2010 was used, and it is fully compliant with the European Classification of Economic Activities - NACE Rev. 2. Coverage Reporting units are all business entities (enterprises, entrepreneurs, institutions, associations etc.) and parts thereof engaged in providing accommodation servi in tourism registered according to the CA BiH 2010 under section : 55.1 (hotels and similar accommodation), 55.2 (holiday and other short - stay accommodation), 55.3 (camps and camping grounds), 55.9 (other accommodation), health institutions for their facilities in which persons stay for medical rehabilitation (costs are on persons themselves), business entities and parts thereof engaged in tourist stay in rural households, houses, camps, apartments and rooms directly rented by private persons/households. Survey covers the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Source and methods of data collection Data on turnover of tourists (number of tourist arrivals and tourist nights) are collected from regular monthly report (TU-11 form). Reports are usually made on the basis of reception records in guest books,entities and their parts engaged in organising and arranging of tourists. Definitions Tourism means the activity of visitors taking a trip to a main destination outside their usual environment for less than a year, for leisure, business or other personal purpose other than to be employed by a resident entity in the place visited. Tourist is every person who, outside his place of permanent residence, spends one night in a hotel or some other accommodation facility for reasons of rest, recreation, health, study, sport, religion, family, business, public tasks or meeting. Residence is a place where a person came with the intention of permanent stay.tourist is registered in every place or establishment where he stays and, therefore, in case he/she changes the place or establishment, he/she must register again, which results in data ambiguity. Consequently, the statistics register the number of tourist arrivals and not the number of tourists. Domestic tourist is a person with permanent residence in the BiH who spends at least one night in a hotel or same other accommodation establishment outside their place or residence. Foreign tourist is every person with permanent residence outside in BiH who temporarily resides in BiH and who spends at least one night in a hotel or same other accommodation establishment. Tourist arrivals refer to the number of persons (tourists) who arrived and registered their stay in an accommodation establishment. Tourist nights refer to every registered overnight stay of a person (tourist) in an accommodation establishment. 5

6 Accommodation capacities are presented as the number of rooms, apartments and camping sites, and the number of permanent beds. Permanent beds are those that are regularly ready-made for renting to guests. Occupancy rate of permanent beds (net) in the reference period is obtained by dividing the total number of nights by the number of beds on offer and the number of days when the beds are actually available for use during the reference period. The data are expressed as a percentage. Organization of tourist arrivals represent the way of organising touristic arrangements. Depending on the way of organising, touristic arrangement can be individual on organised (travel agencier ).
