Notes:
Provisional statistics are published on 17 October 2007 in the Overseas Travel and Tourism First Release. Figures showing three-month changes are seasonally adjusted. Figures showing 12-month changes are not seasonally adjusted. In January 2007 some changes were made to the way IPS data are collected or calculated. The changes made are: a) to the way the sample is drawn, b) to the method of estimating fares, c) the method of imputing spending for cases where expenditure information has not been given by the respondent. These changes mean that results in 2007 may not be entirely consistent with those of previous years and so care should be taken when making comparison with estimates from earlier years.
