EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Department of Tourism (MR Division), Ministry of Tourism & Culture, Government of India, commissioned Market Pulse, to ascertain the tourist traffic in the state of Bihar from January, 2005 to December, 2005. This survey was based on an extensive field data collection in 24 important tourists destinations in Bihar from January, 2005 to December, 2005. More than 19000 face to face interviews with tourists as well as personnel in hospitality and travel & trade sectors were carried out, while data was collected from 498 accommodation units on a monthly basis. Apart from this, a census of accommodation units, travel agencies, eating outlets and souvenir shops was carried out in the month of January, 2005 to ascertain number of units of each. The main objective of this study is to track the tourism scenario in the state of Bihar, in terms of the following parameters: Volume of tourist traffic at important destinations in Bihar Profile of domestic and international tourists visiting Bihar Feedback of tourists on their experience during their visit to Bihar Expenditure pattern of domestic and foreign tourists Profile of places of accommodation and their occupancy levels Direct employment generated by tourism Progress of the state governments tourism plan

Major findings of this survey are given subsequently. TOURIST TRAFFIC IN BIHAR A total of 58,44,196 tourists (including day tourists) visited the 24 destinations, in the period January December 2005. The peak in tourist traffic came in the fourth quarter, which accounted for 33% of all tourists. This rise can be attributed to the Sonepur cattle fair, which was attended by approximately 580,000 day tourists in the months of November - December. There was a significant increase in the tourist traffic in September because of higher numbers visiting Gaya for Vishnu Puja and religious rites (Pind-dan). The months of January and December witnessed higher numbers of foreign tourists. Tourist traffic remained weak at both Buddhist and non-Buddhist destinations in the summer months. Foreign tourists accounted for almost 7% of the traffic at Buddhist destinations and less than 1% at non-Buddhist destinations.

5.1 SURVEY DESIGN The following survey design details how each of the objectives (mentioned in the terms of reference) will be achieved.

5.1.1. Identification of all important tourist destinations in the state

This has been done on the basis of published information (including the state tourism website), information available with the Department of Tourism and the state tourism office. The 24 tourist destinations selected for the survey were finalized in consultation with the State Tourism Department.

5.1.2. Preparation of a database of all accommodations at tourist destinations

The objective of this activity was to build a comprehensive database of all accommodations including hotels, guest houses/ inns and even dharamshalas. Methodology: The listing of all the accommodation units was done on the basis of both secondary data analysis and a primary census survey. First, data from State Tourism offices, regional/ local hotel associations, yellow pages, trade directories and municipal corporation was compiled to build a database of various accommodation units present in each of the identified tourist destinations. Then, a census survey was carried out to profile each accommodation unit in the database. Deliverables: The following information was provided by this phase: Numbers and names of accommodation units like hotels, motels, guesthouses, inns, dharamashalas etc. Number and type of rooms available and Number of beds available All facilities such as restaurants, shopping, telephone, recreational facilities & laundry Occupancy rate for the past one month Room rent charges Number of permanent and temporary employees on an overall basis and in different functions of F&B, housekeeping, etc. Profiles of tourist stay domestic/foreign, including nationality with country details, and duration of stay

22

5.1.3. Occupancy records and employment on a monthly basis

This information was collected on a monthly basis from the records of accommodation units and information provided by them on their employment.

5.1.4. Sample survey of both domestic and foreign tourists

Methodology: This sample survey was carried out in all important tourist destinations identified in the first phase. A structured questionnaire was framed to capture the required information. Deliverables: Through the survey of accommodation units the following data was collected and compiled on a monthly basis: Number of tourists staying in accommodations, with friends & relatives and day tourists Profile of tourists in terms of gender, age and marital status, Country/ State of residence, places visited, mode of travel, whether accompanied, alone or part of a package tour and income level Expenditure Pattern: Duration of stay, Total expenditure (by cash and credit card) & Expenditure on accommodation, food & beverage, travel & conveyance, gifts and souvenirs and other goods/ services purchased Purpose of tourism, i.e. leisure, recreation, visiting friends, relatives, business/ professional, health treatment, religion/ pilgrimage or transit Type(s) of accommodation availed (hotels, motels, guesthouses, camping sites, etc.) Type(s) of restaurants visited (fast-food, cafeteria, food kiosk, refreshment stands & bars) Satisfaction levels with experience during stay in Bihar and improvement areas Awareness of Buddhist destinations Sample size: A total of 12000 domestic and foreign tourists (1000 per month) were interviewed over a period of 12 months at the selected tourist destinations. These interviews were carried out at major tourist attractions. The sample was uniformly spread through the planned survey duration; however, a quota sample was taken at specific destinations that report seasonal increases in tourist traffic. A minimum quota of 10% was being maintained for the foreign tourists. In addition, a sample of 1000 tourists was conducted at entry and exit points to determine the proportion of day tourists in the travelling population. 23

5.1.5. Estimation of direct employment generated through tourism

The data on direct employment in accommodation units, restaurants, travel/ tour operators and souvenir shops was collected on a quarterly basis. A representative sample survey of tourism service providers including restaurants was surveyed to gauge the pattern of employment in each of the important tourist locations. The objective of collecting employment particulars was to provide average employment in different functions across different accommodation units, restaurants, travel/ tour operators and souvenir shops.

24

5.1.6. Estimation of the expenditure & earnings made by State Government with respect to tourism.
Primary feedback is obtained from various departments of State Government including State Financial Institutions and State Tourism. The survey was carried out to provide the following information: Estimated annual expenditure Type of funding Type of development Facilities being and likely to be provided Impact on tourism Earnings (including foreign exchange) and sources

5.2. Sampling Methodology

For the tourists survey, random sampling with quota for each day of the week and different time slots was employed to ensure true representation. The sample sizes for different centres were decided on the basis of the secondary information available on the number of tourists visiting the location. This was approved by Ministry of Tourism before conducting the fieldwork. All listed accommodation units were covered in the survey, while random quota sampling of other tourism service providers was done.

25

5.3. Data Collection and Supervision

Structured questionnaires were administered by a team of trained field interviewers employed by Market Pulse. In case of data from accommodation units, structured report formats were provided to all of them and our field executives collected filled-up reports at the end of each month. The team of 5 field executives/ enumerators was supervised by a field officer. The field officer ensured authenticity of the data being collected. The collected data was sent to the Research Executive located at the State Capital. The project manager stationed at our head office had overall responsibility for this assignment and he also travelled to different tourist destinations of the State as and when required.

5.4. Scrutiny & Tabulation Methods

Each filled in questionnaire was scrutinized by the field officer as well as executives trained in questionnaire coding and scrutiny. Incomplete questionnaires and logically incorrect (to be established by a customized software) questionnaires were rejected and not included in the sample of responses. After the questionnaires were suitably scrutinized and coded, the contents of each were computerized. The data files thus created are compatible with .dbf and SPSS formats and will also be available in a text file.

26

6.0 TOURIST TRAFFIC ESTIMATION METHODOLOGY The entire universe of 498 accommodation units were requested to maintain month wise records pertaining to the following Total Number of customers Number of customers of foreign origin Number of nights that each customer stays for Department of Tourism, Bihar, had also sent letters to the accommodation units and instructed the local officer to ensure cooperation. The statistics collected from all the accommodation units is aggregated for each tourist destination and then for the entire state. This yielded both the domestic and foreign tourist traffic at the accommodation units (referred to as A) From the sample survey of 1000 tourists, we determined the proportion of tourists staying at accommodation units and those staying with their friends/relatives. This proportion was then applied to statistic A to compute the number of tourists staying with their friends/relatives (referred to as B) A+B=Number of tourists staying for more atleast one night (referred to as C) Then through another exit survey of 1000 travellers at railway stations, bus depots and airports, we determined the proportion of tourists who were day tourists. This proportion applied to statistics C revealed the number of day tourists (Referred to as D). Then, C+D = Total tourist traffic

Out of the total tourist traffic 26% were domestic tourists, 1% were foreign tourist, 14% were tourists who stayed with with friends and relatives and 59% were day tourists. The peak in tourist traffic came in the fourth quarter. This rise can be attributed to the Sonepur cattle fair, which was attended by approximately 580,000 day tourists in the months of November - December. Tourist traffic dipped in the second and third quarters due to high temperatures in the summer months. There was a significant increase in the tourist traffic in September because of higher numbers visiting Gaya for Vishnu Puja and religious rites (Pind-dan). The months of January and December witnessed higher numbers of foreign tourists.
