Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The aim of this survey is to discover recreational and tourist activity of Scottish residents

Main Topics: Variables The Scottish Tourism and Recreation Survey, 1973 consists of three groups of files: the Home Interview files, the Holidays files and the Cordon Survey files. The Home Interview Survey files (SN:2490) are based on 6938 interviews with 169 questions covering general matters, day trips, outdoor recreation, short stays, additional holidays, Scottish main holidays and theatre. The Holidays files (SN:2491) amalgamate data from both the Home Interview Survey files and the Cordon Survey files. Each case corresponds to a holiday, including short holidays and winter and early spring holidays for Scottish residents. The Cordon Survey files (SN:2492) are based on interviews with holidaymakers as they were leaving Scotland by rail, coach, ferry and plane. Different questionnaires were used at each cordon type, based on a common set of questions. The files consist of direct interview data, self-administered questionnaire data and route map and accommodation diary data.
