Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Sampling Frame
Sampling frame is a master sample from the Population, Housing and Establishment Census 1997. It consists of a list of enumeration areas, which were used as PSU's in the first stage of selection
Sampling Design
The sample of this survey is a sub-sample of Labour Force Survey (LFS) sample, that is conducted every 13 weeks. The total sample of LFS is about 7,563 households distributed over 13 weeks
The sample of the Outbound Tourism Survey occupies 11 weeks of the first quarter 2005 of LFS
Stratification:
In designing the sample of LFS, four levels of stratification were made
Stratification by governorate.
Stratification by place of residence which comprises
(a) Urban (b) Rural (c) Refugee camps
Stratification by locality size
. Stratification by classifying localities, excluding governorate capitals, into three strata based on the ownership of households within these localities of durable goods
Sample Unit:
In the first stage, the sampling units are the enumerator areas (clusters) in the master sample. In the second stage, the sampling units are the households

Response Rate
response rate 85%
Weighting
Weight Calculation and the Estimation
Because the sampling weight counteractive with the percentage sample from the frame, and as this ratio different from the percentage sample for the society in reference period, therefore the weight was adjusted to show number of population in 2004. And the weight was adjusted to make the distribution of people in the sample by region, sort, and structure age become identical to this distribution on census 1997 Finally, weight were adjusted to compensate for incomplete cases that occur during data collecting

Data Processing
Data Editing
Data Processing
The data processing stage consisted of the following operations:
Editing and coding before data entry: All questionnaires were edited and coded in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the field.
Data entry: At this stage, data was entered into the computer using a data entered template written in Access. The data entry program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements such as:
Duplication of the questionnaires on the computer screen.
Logical and consistency check of data entered.
Possibility for internal editing of question answers.
Maintaining a minimum of digital data entry and fieldwork errors.
User friendly handling.
Possibility of transferring data into another format to be used and analyzed using other statistical analytic systems such as SPSS.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Sampling Errors:
These types of errors evolved as a result of studying a part of the society and not all of it. For this survey, variance calculations were made for the purpose of outbound trips specially in Gaza strip.
Non Sampling Errors:
These errors are due to non-response cases as well as the implementation of surveys. In this survey, these errors emerged because of (a) the special situation of the questionnaire itself which depends on type of estimation (b) diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editors, coders, data entry operator …etc).
