The sampling design for a touristic survey

subject

description

The aim of this paper is not only describing the procedures employed to plan and develop a sampling survey, but above all focusing the attention on the difficulties to be faced when making it. The main goal of this sampling survey is to investigate on the consistency and typology of tourists and trippers in the Eolie islands during the summer 2004, mainly in July and August. Eolie have been addressed since they represent a closed environment defined by natural borders.
